The Axiom Proton Envy is the same James Conrad putter, this time in Axiom's grippy, speckled Proton blend. Proton is the plastic most people reach for first when they want an Envy that will hold up to daily use without costing what the flashier blends do.

Flight Numbers: 3 / 3 / 0 / 2

Proton is translucent with visible speckling, tacky right out of the wrapper, and tough enough to handle years of chain contact and tee pad drops. It grips well in wet weather, which matters on a disc you are throwing at both tee shots and 20 foot putts. It beats in over time into a slightly softer, even straighter flight than it starts with.

Thrown with speed the Envy stays flat and barely turns, holding its line with almost no wind push, then drops out of the sky once the fade takes over rather than skipping past the basket. That combination is why it works as both a throwing putter off the tee and a putting putter once you are inside the circle. Beginners get an easy, predictable straight flight to learn from, and forehand throwers like the shallow rim because it releases clean without extra wrist snap.

Want the same flight in a speckled, metal flake blend instead? The Prism Plasma Envy is the upgrade. Comparing it against another overstable approach disc? The Discraft ESP Zone carries a bit more fade for the same job. See our full lineup of approach discs.

Speed 3, glide 3, turn 0, fade 2. Diameter 21.0 cm, rim width 1.1 cm, max weight 174 g.
