This is an official test video of the MVP Proton Catalyst and The Axiom Proton Defy. The Catalyst was 168g and the Defy was 156g.

MVP Describes the Catalyst as: "a perfect starter for big distance. Its stability profile lends itself to being incredibly useful even when underpowered. Catalyst is similar to a longer Wave. High power throwers will be able to control rollers, sky anhyzers, and tight turns, while average to low power players will get easy distance with great glide, and a power responsive amount of turn-to-straight. The Catalyst is molded with the same core and nice even dome as the Octane, yielding extra glide for maximum distance shots."
My Thoughts:
Having thrown this disc in 173, the 168 was an excellent addition to my lineup. I will continue to agree with this disc being dubbed the "longer Wave". For arms of every speed, this disc will allow you to achieve a nice turn and some big distance. If you like this disc in the neutron, you will love it in proton as well.
Axiom describes the Defy as: "Straight with a nice bite of overstability at the end, and is best described as a heavily seasoned MVP Photon or a longer Axiom Crave. Like the Crave the Defy exhibits remarkable resistance to turnover even at high power. Players seeking a long straight power driver will appreciate the line-locking tendencies of the Defy, and throwers not fully powering the Defy will still get a highly useable long overstable disc."
My thoughts:
WOW. This disc is surprisingly stable for being only 156 grams. I expected to turn this disc over like crazy and have to rely on finesse to get it to do what I wanted but that was not the case. I was able to put a lot of power into this mold and it resisted a lot of turn. This disc is a straight flyer that will take less effort to get it to go far. Having smaller hands, I really like the way this disc fits into my hand. The plastic alone and the metal flake in the gyro is reason enough to fall in love with this disc.
