Axiom Eclipse Insanity 9 | 5 | -2 | 1.5
Ask almost any disc golfer about the Axiom Eclipse Insanity, and they'll tell you the same thing: this isn't your average understable Insanity. While stock runs are famous for easy hyzer-flips and smooth turnovers, the Eclipse glow version is a legendary beefball. Because of the high-density glow additives in the plastic, this run cools down noticeably stiffer and flatter, turning the classic Insanity mold into a straight-to-overstable headwind machine. Flying much closer to a 9 | 5 | 0 | 2 (think Innova Thunderbird or MVP Volt), the Eclipse Insanity is built for players who want the comfortable 9-speed feel of an Insanity with dependable stability, high torque resistance, and the brightest glow in the sport. Explore all plastic variations in the complete Axiom Insanity Collection, or check out the rest of the lineup in our main Axiom Discs Collection. We photograph and weigh every single disc individually in our live inventory, so the exact glow color and overmold rim combination you pick below is the exact one we ship to your door.
Flight Numbers
While the flight plate is stamped with the standard 9 | 5 | -2 | 1.5 numbers, don't expect this disc to flip over easily out of the box. At a 9 speed, it cuts through the air with great velocity, while the 5 glide keeps it pushing deep down the fairway. On a flat throw, it resists flipping under power, holding a dead-straight line through the middle of its flight before dumping into a strong, reliable fade.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 5 | -2 (Flies ~0) | 1.5 (Flies ~2) |
How the Eclipse Insanity flies on the course:
- Average Arm Speeds: Functions as a primary overstable control driver. It will hold a straight line into mild winds and finish with a strong, dependable fade every time.
- Power Throwers: A fantastic point-and-shoot fairway driver. You can rip on it flat with full power without worrying about it turning over or burning out into the dirt.
- Industry-Leading Glow Tech: Axiom's Eclipse glow plastic lights up brighter and stays illuminated longer than almost any other glow blend on the market.
It excels at:
- Night rounds where you need max visibility without sacrificing overstable control.
- Forehand power drives that need high torque resistance and a reliable, skipping finish.
- Headwind fairway shots where standard understable drivers would get turned over and blown offline.
Eclipse Glow Plastic Performance
Eclipse is Axiom's premier glow-in-the-dark plastic blend, widely recognized as the industry leader in brightness and charge duration. A quick blast from a UV flashlight keeps the core or rim glowing bright for entire holes. In terms of feel, Eclipse is firm, rigid, and slick, giving power throwers a super clean release off the fingers. Because glow additives increase plastic density during cooling, Eclipse runs are consistently the most overstable variants in any MVP or Axiom mold lineup.
How Eclipse Compares Across the Insanity Lineup
- Vs the Neutron Insanity & Plasma Insanity: Stock Neutron and Plasma runs are true to their -2 turn flight numbers, offering easy hyzer-flips and gentle turnovers. Eclipse is vastly more overstable and will resist turning over under power.
- Vs the Proton Insanity & Cosmic Neutron Insanity: Proton and Cosmic Neutron are slightly stiffer than stock Neutron, but they still exhibit noticeable high-speed turn compared to the beefy Eclipse version.
- Vs the Fission Insanity: Fission is the flippiest run in the lineup made for effortless distance, while Eclipse sits on the complete opposite end of the spectrum as the ultimate overstable workhorse.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Eclipse Insanity
Why is the Eclipse Insanity so much more overstable than other plastics?
Glow additives alter the density and cooling process of the plastic out of the mold. This causes the flight plate to settle flatter and stiffer, giving the disc significantly more high-speed stability and less high-speed turn than standard Neutron or Plasma runs.
Is this disc good for sidearm/forehand throwers?
Yes! Forehand players actually prefer the Eclipse Insanity over other runs specifically because of its extra stability. It handles off-axis torque beautifully, making it great for flat sidearm snaps that need a dependable fade.
Do I need a UV light to charge Eclipse plastic?
While daylight or standard flashlights will charge it, a pocket UV (blacklight) flashlight charges Eclipse plastic to its maximum brightness in just a few seconds, keeping it glowing throughout your entire night round.
