    This disc is amazing if you get it in proton, it is a slightly stable disc but if you get it in fission, it is extremely flippy. The only downside is that it is More shallow than most discs.

    This disc is pure fairway driver perfection! When thrown on a hyzer this disc flips up very easily and just goes laser straight or creates beautiful turnover lines (depending on how much hyzer you give it). This also feels extremely comfortable for both backhands and forehands. For faster arms it will be extremely controllable and pinpoint accurate. For slower arms, thos could be your max distance disc. I'd also like to add that I personally think this disc is superior to the trail and much less finicky/reliable. So if there is something off about the trail for you (just like me), this is the disc for you.

    171 gram Axiom Insanity Proton plastic. Proton plastic has decent grip and good durability but the plastic the rim is made out of isn't as strong. I hit a rock and it took a little chunk out of the rim. The flight numbers seem accurate and the Insanity is a nice understable fairway driver. It works well for turnover shots and flips up. But I found a metal flake C-blend Infinite Discs Sphinx that does the same things but a little better. If I never found the Sphinx, I would still be happily throwing the Insanity. But because I have the Sphinx, the Insanity is out of the bag. It's still a great disc and someone with more power might prefer it to more under stable options.

    This disc has a very small feeling rim, perhaps because it is shallow. In the hand it feels more like I'm holding a 7-8 speed disc than a 9: very comfortable for my small hands. I also found it to fly very understable, moreso than flight numbers or disc feel would suggest. The disc is also extremely flat which usually equates to some amount of overstability, but not so in this case. Due to the flat+thin shape the Insanity it pretty decent for grenades, and overhand throws which rely on the flatness of the disc to carry distance, but bad for rollers which rely on having some amount of dome to keep from cutting to much, we normally associate these qualities with overstable discs but this disc breaks the trend. I'm having fun with it, and getting birdies! However, it seems like some runs may be vastly more overstable and due to that unpredictability out of the box it gets 4 stars instead of 5 from me.

    The proton plastic for this disc is just splendid really. In lighter weights, it will flip up and ride right a long ways for some easy distance. Easily one of the further flying 9 speeds. You do want to know though theres a massive difference in stability between plastics. Since this is a 9 speed, it may be a little too fast for a total beginner, but intermediate players onward can find an insanity they love.

    Feel: The Proton plastic has a nice grip to it, stiff with a little give. seems to be very durable with the ability to give a nice skip if needed.

    Flight: This disc flies beautifully. Not quite as flippy as the numbers would suggest, but vcan still be easily Hyzerflipped for a straight shot. When released on hyzer the disc wil flip up flt and glide for a long distance. When released flat, This disc will turn and give a nice S shape to it's flight. When released on Anny, this disc will ride the turn for the majority of the flight, fighting out at the end for a slight fade.

    All in all, This disc is a wonderful straight flyer that wil fit anyones bag, After it beats in some more, I'm sure it'll be a deadly weapon in my arsenal!

    Plastic - The proton plastic feels very good. It feels very similar to champion plastic from Innova except it has a tad more grip to it. It also does not beat in very much and I have thrown this disc for months now and it still flies the same.

    Reference - Max distance 375+, able to throw the Insanity consistently 325-330

    Disc - My insanity is board flat. It feels super good in the hand (9 speed rims feel very good to me because I have smaller hands). It is a great understable fairway driver. When thrown flat it gets a good amount of turn before fading back ever so slightly at the end. It is a controllable amount of understable. It is great for shaping shots and I have never accidentally turned mine into a roller. However, it has enough understability that is I put this down on a good amount of anhyzer I am sure I could get a pretty good power roller out of it. On a small amount of hyzer it flips up to flat, turns over a little bit before fading out at the end making a perfect "S" curve. When thrown on about 20-25 degrees of hyzer it flips up to flat and flies straight before fading a little bit at the end.

    Note: Axiom/MVP discs I have noticed take more spin in order to get them to fly properly. When I first got this disc I was not generating as much spin as now and it acted more overstable. I was getting the nose down but didn't have as much power and spin. So, if you don't put enough spin on it, it will fly pretty straight and then have a touch of fade at the end.

    171 Proton Insanity

    Overall, solid disc once you have your throwing and nose angles figured out. If you have that, it is an extremely controllable disc which can provide an very straight flight if desired. For one with a FH in progress, such as myself, it is one of the easiest to throw. Helps correct some of that wobble from less than perfect form without being overstable.

    For the numbers, I would probably rate it 9 / 4.5 / -1.5 / 1. The reason I chose not to bag it is because I simply don't get as much distance as I hoped out of it. I love throwing mids and I can basically imitate the same flight with my straight mid. Not enough separation to warrant it. But, still a good disc and recommended. I prefer the neutron in this mold as it seems to have a little more pop and flight out of my hand.

    I've had 3 of these over the last 3 years (since I started playing). And all of them have been good discs. But I settled on the Proton, as it's the most stable plastic and most useful for me. When I first started playing, the Insanity was one of the longest discs for me. But now that I can throw farther, smoother and with better technique, it's turned into my understable speed 9 FW disc. 

    I had 2 Neutrons and now this Proton, and all of them feel about the same and throw about the same. The first Neutron I had was a bit lighter, maybe 169g or something. And it quickly become too undestable for me as I started to learn how to throw better. Then I had a max weight Black Ink Discs Neutron and it was sweet for awhile as well. But it also became to understable for me. Now I'm on to a max weight Proton and it's perfect for me for now. 

    The feel of this disc is very nice to me. I love thin and medium depth discs and this thing is VERY thin for a FW. NO dome, 100% completely flat top, but somehow still has a nice rim to dig into. Has a fairly sharp leading edge on the rim, and the Proton plastic feels really good in your hand. It's that slick shiny hard plastic, but has grip still. Comes out of your hand very clean.

    Flight path is like 9/5.5/-2/1 ish if thrown correctly. If not thrown well, it's like a 9/4/-3/1. It's a bit touchy, but not real bad. But I do have to be careful about the angle I put it on, or it can turn too much. I've never really thrown it so bad, that it turns into a roller, but if I throw it flat and hard, it can turn kind of quick and get to ground right fairly short of where I wanted it to go. But when I get it on a hyzer angle and place it a little out left, good lord, this thing goes a long way and has a nice flight path. It will flip to flat, then start it's steady slow leak out right, and it gets pretty far out there (about 20-40' right of center), but then it always has a soft finish back to the left. For a net throw of about 10-20' right of center. So it's really good for a hole that doglegs right, but where you have to make SURE it won't continue leaking out right (like a Maul might do). It gets out there to the right, but always comes back at the end on a forward pushing fade. It's a pretty unique flight path that I can't replicate with any other disc. I don't throw this thing a lot, but when I need that shot, it's SO nice to know I can just throw it and forget it. I don't have to manufacture an amazing shot, it just does it. 
     

    Also, at speed 9, it's kind of like a FW, but not quite like a driver. It goes about 10-20' father than my speed 7 FW's, but the thing I like about it, is that it's easy to get that distance. As long as I throw it high enough, it will glide and get good distance. Which also reminds me, it is also a bit touchy for distance with it's height thrown. You have to get it medium to medium high or it won't go that far. I think the glide is a 5, but only with the right height. Otherwise it's more like a 4. If I throw it more on a flat rope height, it doesn't get anymore distance than my speed 7 FW's.

    It's also a great hyzer flip FH disc. Can throw it on a fairly steep hyzer angle on FH, and it will flip up to flat, get out left, then come back softly at the end. The flat top and thin overall depth make it feel amazing for FHs. Just have to be very careful about the angle or it will instantly turn over left and into the ground. But that also makes it one of my favorite recovery discs for longer rescue shots from the left side of the fairway. Because it's so understable, I can throw it out right from the left side of the FW and it WILL hold that angle the whole way. 

    Overall it's a great disc and one of the better distance discs for beginners or intermediates that need more easy distance. Along the lines of a Maul or River. But because it's a tad touchy, I'd always recommend the Maul or River first. I think the thin overall depth and lack of dome make this not quite an amazing disc, and just good.

    Disc - Proton Insanity 

    Feel - The insanity has a really good feel in the hand. As it is a 9 speed, it should fit great into many players hands. I have owned 4 of these and they all seem to be fairly flat. 

    Flight - Personally, I am not the biggest fan of many 9 speeds that are meant to be flipped up and fly straight. For some reason, I never can get them to do what I want so I have gravitated towards slower fairway drivers for tight wooded shots. So, for that reason I am not a huge fan of the insanity but I have friends who love this disc. I think that it is a great flip up fairway driver and you can get some really good flights out of this disc. I also think it can be a maximum distance driver for players with slower arm speeds.

    Overall - This disc is a great disc that I was never able to figure out but I think for players that enjoy throwing faster discs in the woods, it would be a great option.

    A really fun fairway driver that can be thrown straight consistently. It seems to glide a little better than the Flight Numbers show but that is a good thing. When thrown downhill, it will fly much straighter than a more powerful driver and can also handle the wind well. If you are throwing this disc well it will take the exact line that you are trying to reach.

    Has the Insanity changed? 

    I used to own an Insanity in 2019; recently lost it and ordered a new one. The previous Insanity seemed slightly bigger in diameter and significantly flat compared to the new Insanity I have. Has the disc parameters changed recently?

    This was the disc I learned to throw big on. The speed is perfect for beginners to build upon and the feel is great! I throw primarily backhand and when I was starting this disc gave me gains from the very first throw. They are definitely understable, I typically use these now when I need to rip hard to the right and hold the line. When I started these were my go to for every throw but now that my throws have become more powerful they have earned a place as a specialized tool in my bag.

    One of the top three discs I bag (Zeus & Stalker being the other faves). As a RHBH thrower this is the most straight of all my discs. It rips flawlessly thru wooded courses or when I need pin-point accuracy. If I had one minor complaint, it would be that it glides almost too far and I overshoot my target. If I try to take a little off, then it fades. Throwing it the way it is intended though yields perfect straight lines every time! (Bonus note: When I need shorter distance, this is when the Stalker shines.)

    Great flex utility disc. I find the glide to be useful to help keep the anhyzer lines while the fade brings it out at the end to land flat. I use for sidearm standstills and watch it sail!

    This is my go to control driver in Proton plastic at 171-175 grams.  It's just understable enough to get a very slight 'S' flight in no wind, with the perfect amount of fade at the end.  In a light headwind becomes more understable, but not overly so.

    This disc is good for all level, knowing the faster you throw, the degree of 'S' flight will increase, but not in an overly dramatic fashion like some discs.

    The rim is very small, which is a pleasure to hold in the hand and lends itself to very good control shots with a backhand.

    One of my favorite under stable drivers out there.  Throw it up on a decent hyzer angle and it stands up beautifully and carries for quite some time till it fades just a little.  Great for throwing off of hills or in a tailwind.  Really easy distance with it.   The numbers are pretty accurate for this disc.  I will continue to bag this one for the forseeable future.

    this is the first disc i was able to hyzer flip when I first started. Its an awsome first fairway driver if your looking to move up from your starter pack that comes with a leopard or valkyre. once your arm gets stronger, you will start to turn this disc over. but I still use it on several holes a round when i need a dependable straight 300 foot drive. and this disc in proton plastic feels amazing!!

    The Insanity first disc that I could throw that would follow it's intended flight path and ever since then I've always had one or two in my bag. I don't have huge hands and this disc fits my grip like it was made for it (it feels almost exactly the same as the Leapord as far as size goes.)

    I like the proton plastic for this disc. It just seems to fit the disc profile. I like Fission plastic for my Volt and Tesla but for some reason proton plastic just works for the Insanity.

    The Insanity's flight path follows the numbers for me. If I whip it down there flat, it will turn quite a bit and then fade back in not quite as much as it turned. It is easy to hyzer flip when I need it to go straight or for mild flex shots. It's thin profile cuts through wind as long as you keep it nose down- put the nose up and it will sail on you.

    I don't do a lot of forehand throws, but if I have to, the Insanity has been reliable for anything under 300'.

    It hold hyzer spike lines with ease.

    I'll also use the Insanity for a long anhyzer shot that flattens out and glides at the end with very little fade.

    If I want a similar flight path but need more distance and/or stability, I grab my Volt which flies almost identically but with more distance and stability.

    The insanity is a little touchy on power. Under thrown discs will fade quick and overthrown discs turn a lot more than expected, though this behavior can be used to the player's advantage when they really get to know the disc.

    This is a really great, slower arm speed friendly, easy distance driver that also has reliable fade. I would definitely recommend this disc to anyone looking for a consistent distance driver that has had trouble with the more higher speed stuff. 

    Even as my arm speed has increased, it still has a place in my bag because of it's reliable fade. It will flip up and turn more for me now than when I first started throwing this disc, but it still comes back left (RHBH).

    This was the first disc I figured out how to hyzer flip, and when that happens it goes far! Probably the longest RHBH disc in my bag at the moment. I find this too understable to throw RHFH, and I lost one throwing downhill (bad decision on my part, bought a new one in the car driving away from the course!), but it definitely has a place in my bag for longer, mostly straight/slight right backhand throws.

    I honestly got this disc just to try out the overmold tech that Axiom and MVP use. I like the disc, but it took some getting used to. At first, it feels very end-heavy in the hand, because the weight is not as evenly distributed as a regular disc. It would fly very far left at first. But, that is not the disc, it was me. It was just a new feel, and after a few rounds, this disc became a very reliable disc. But, there is one note I must add: due to the overmold tech, the disc's actual speed rating is higher than indicated. So, if you want a speed 11 disc, get like a 9 or 10, or if you want a 13 speed, get a 11 or 12. It just is higher because of the end loaded rims.

    at first this disc would just turn on me like crazy and I avoided it for a while. I took it out the bag to use for a flex shot it did exactly what I wanted it to. So I started to mainly use it as a sidearm disc I could get about 360 out of a forehand on that disc. Then I started to throw it backhand at my local course on a hole that requires either a forehand or a shot from an over stable disc. It turned and came back strong with a nice penetrating fade. I use this disc now on pretty much every drive. I put a little hyzer on it. It flips up has a slight little turn with a string fade. Would recommend this disc for intermediate players for the versatility that you can get from turn over shots to hyzer flips over all my favorite distance driver.

    I have a max weight insanity in proton plastic - i got this disc when i was a newbie and at first it was quite overstable for my noodle arm.  But usefully so.  It would go straight a ways then have a predictable forward penetrating fade.  Now that I have gotten a bit more power - 350 ish ft on an average drive LHBH, this is a turnover disc for me.  Released with slight anheiser this will go for miles, and hold the turnover line to the ground.  Also I prefer Axiom to the MVP because the bright colors make them impossible to lose.

    I recently picked this up from Infinitediscs.com and right out of the box this disc was such a eye catcher the bright transparent colors are amazing. I took this to my local course and was stunned by how well it held a anhyzer. After a few throws this disc was soaring 400ft. 

    They have really out done themselves on this one.  The disc feels very comfortable in my hand and releases clean smooth!

    I threw this disc for the first time at my local course yesterday and it is the best driver I've ever thrown. Most of the time I have a hard time with drivers because of how bad they tail off as they decrease speed, but this one isn't nearly as drastic as my katana. This disc is an absolute laser off of my hand. Definitely my go to driver from here on out.
