    The Crave is the first driver in the Axiom Line. This moderate speed fairway driver is described as a seasoned MVP Servo. The Crave is one of the straightest flying fairway drivers in the market. It totes a slower speed, but don't let it fool you, as it goes far. It provides a torque resistant, but straight flight suitable for backhands or forehands. Most MVP made discs are relatively flat, and the Crave is no exception.

    An excellent disc if you know what to use it for. Lots of people expect this to be super straight, and maybe it is in other plastics, but in Neutron, this flies like a trusty Teebird. Enough stability for newer players to throw relatively hard without great form, and once you get more spin on the disc, it will fly nice and straight with a little bit of fade. Also agree that this disc is more like a 7-speed.

    Simple and easy to throw straight flyer, for anyone starting out this is a great disc to perfect timing, and form without sacrificing distance. For the seasoned vet this disc can hold any angle.

    Loved this disc from the moment a friend let me throw his.   Has sneaky distance and don't have to get it up in the air very high, it just keeps gliding!

    My two takeaways are that this disc was both more understable and glidier than I expected.  Even with a clean release, it rides the line for me between "acceptably understable" and "untrustworthy".  Definitely cannot confirm that it "holds any line" like others have said, but the understability combined with surprising glide does make this disc sail with minimal effort.  Very comfortable for a forehand grip, absolutely nailed the hand feel here.  Very flat.  Was more like a Lat. 64 River than anything else for me.

    I have a Sarah Hokom signature Neutron that I absolutely loved throwing on forehand and backhand when I first started playing. It's a faster Hex as some have said before. I've since replaced it with a Halo Centurion which has plenty of workability and torque resistance vs the Crave that I've burned over without putting it on a decent amount of hyzer

    A great disc for hyzer flips and turnover shots for intermediate arms and a nice first driver for beginners. The neutron plastic feels pretty good in the hand although can get a little sticky for me at times. Would recommend to beginners and more advanced players alike.

    Super fun for wooded courses. Can really do whatever you want with it. On a hyzer you'll get a tiny bit of turn and good distance with great fade. Flat you'll get a reliable flight with good distance and solid fade. And on flex you'll get some good turn then straighten out. Fun to try and weave through trees.

    I predominantly throw forehand, and someone recommended that I use this disc to learn a backhand. This disc flies far with ease and holds a straight line. Its a great disc to learn angle control as well. I still use this disc as a primary backhand driver several years later. Its very versatile.

    If you aren't already aware, most Axiom and MVP discs have very thin profiles. That means shallow rims and flat tops. If you like that sort of feel when throwing plastic, you'll love these companies. The Crave is no exception. It has a great thin profile and it's flight is just fun to watch. If you throw it flat, you'll get a nice turn and then a medium fade at the end of the flight = easy distance. It also make a great hyzer flip disc! Throw it on hyzer and watch it flip up to flat and ride it straight for a while before fading back out. It's a pretty easy disc to control. If I were to compare it to the other Trilogy disc manufacturer, I would say it's similar to a Stag or a Falchion. 

    Get one. Enjoy!

    The Crave is a fantastic disc. It is a very controllable understable to stable disc that is capable of many shot shapes. It flies so much farther than I would think for its speed, In fact it has made me rethink my game and I'm often reaching for this in places where I used to throw a distance driver. It is comparable to my star leopard3 but has a tad more turn and a little more distance potential. New players will probably get a nice glidey straight shot out of it and its a good disc to learn the flip up and turnover shots with. If you can already throw fairway drivers in the 320-340 ft range then you can probably push 380-400 with this disc. Feels equally great fh and bh although I predominantly use it bh. I highly recommend this disc for players of any skill level although its probably pretty flippy for bigger arms.

    TLDR: Super straight, flatter disc that flies true to the numbers. This is the best fairway driver for most players that Axiom/MVP have to offer. Feels like if a discraft buzzz was a fairway driver.

    Feel: Neutron plastic is like a more premium version of innovas star plastic. The finish is amazing with no flashing to be found. The disc is fairly flat making it easy to grip FH or BH. The rim is a bit smaller than many other 7 speeds, making it noticeably easier to grip and control. Axiom discs are able to maintain a high glide rating without being super deep and domey. Huge win on the feel with this one.

    Flight: Pretty accurate to the flight numbers, although that -1 can become a -2 fairly quick for power throwers. If this one goes 250-275' for you, it's going to be a super straight and stable (not overstable), reliable disc that doesn't quite flip for you, but will still exhibit the 1 fade rating. If you can get it to the 300 mark, you'll see the turn rating be spot on at -1. If you're putting this out over 325, you may find it to have a bit more turn that the rating would suggest. Thought not enough to make it fit the turnover slot in your bag.

    For the average player, each brand has a straight/neutral fairway driver that rises to the top to represent the brand. Latitude 64 explorer, innova teebird/eagle, etc. The crave is Axiom/MVPs version of that. It's the best neutral fairway they have to offer, and in my opinion it's their best fairway driver.

    The crave is one of my all time favorite discs. It has helped me become a better disc golfer more so than any other disc I've ever thrown. When I first started throwing it, it was the very first disc that I could throw a hyzer flip that would ride straight forever. Then, as my form has started to improve, the crave became the disc that taught me a slow hyzer flip to late turn shot. Those two backhand shots alone are incredibly important in wooded golf where you need to shape a fairway, and before the crave, they were shots that I didn't have. Everyone needs something in their bag that's slightly understable and very controllable which is exactly what the crave is. 
     

    Beyond the amazing control for backhand shots the crave gives you, it's just as useful on a forehand. I started trying to teach myself flip up forehands using this disc and it's been very successful because I truly believe that the crave is a perfect understable fairway driver. It's not the fastest fairway driver which to me makes the rim feel very comfortable in the hand, and it's very flat which makes it even more comfortable for forehands grips. I think everyone should try out a crave because it just offers so much for beginners and more experienced players alike. 

    I also truly believe that neutron plastic is the best plastic in all of disc golf. It's super durable; it has a firm rim but a little bit of give in the flight plate, and it's got quite a lot of grip for a premium plastic. Honestly if you haven't ever thrown an mvp disc pick up a crave just to feel the neutron plastic  

    Overall, I think the crave is a near perfect disc that everyone should try. It's understable enough for beginners to throw it straight, but it's also not so understable that it's only useful as a roller disc for more experienced players. It can teach newer players so much to help develop their form, and it fills a slot that I believe everyone should have.

    I was looking for something like a longer Buzzz that was a bit more stable than an Opto River and settled on the Axiom Crave (Sarah Hokom's). I can't speak highly enough about this disc.

    First of all, this disc surprised me by getting distance that rivals my 8 and some of my 9 speeds with similar effort. It performs similarly well when dialed back, so it fills the role that I was hoping it would.

    Much like a Buzzz, it gets noticeable but not overwhelming high speed turn and late fade on a flat shot. It will hold lines pretty faithfully - it can be hyzerflipped, but it seems like the hyzer has to be a little shallower than my River or a Valk to flip to flat. Conversely, it will "correct" a bit of unintentional anhyzer to flat, but can take an intentional turnover nicely and land flat, mitigating skips. 

    While it has a -1 turn (the same as a River and Buzzz) the same effort that might turn a River or Buzzz is not quite enough to have the same effect on the Crave. Rather, the Crave acts maybe like a -0.5 or -0.75 (or whatever that means). I like this because I can be pretty confident that I can crank on it for a flat shot without a turn-and-burn.

    I tend to forehand with overstable discs on the course while I'm learning the throw mechanics in field work. The Crave is a good learning disc because it has that fairway driver feel but it's pretty easy to tell if there's off-axis-torque/wrist rolling compared to other discs. Hopefully that feedback will eventually help me be controlled enough to use the Crave for true straight forehand shots on the course.

    Highly recommend. 

     

    Edit 12.14.2021: This disc continues to impress. It has taken over as my go-to fairway due to its versatility. As I've added distance and shot shapes, the Crave scales well with power and covers every fairway shot unless I need something very specialized. Just a wonderful mold!

    This is the first disc I've ever tried from MVP. This disc is so stable brand new, if thrown flat. As a previous reviewer said the disc will teach about disc angle. I've had mine for about 4 years and it's kissed quite a few trees. Now, it will hyzer flip and ride straight FOREVER. If thrown flat mine will hold a slight turnover, but never turn and burn, it eventually flattens out and sits down not really fighting back to a fade. I HIGHLY recommend this mold if you haven't tried it!

    I'm loving the crave! This disc will teach you about release angles and power so well. It can really do anything you want it to. Thrown Flat it will hold a gentle turnover for a long time but doesn't turnover and roll. Thrown on a slight hyzer it will flip up to flat, turnover gently and then come back left. Give it more hyzer and it will flip up slightly but then hold hyzer. 
     

    This is a great disc for all skill levels. Super easy to shape for more advanced players. Point and shoot disc for beginners.

    Need a straight disc for the woods? Need a disc to hold big anhyzers? Need a disc to flip up and then finish left? Need an easy forehand flex disc? This disc has you covered for all of that!

    I had a plasma Crave and not sure if it was just the plastic difference but it did not fly like the flight numbers suggest. It was more straight to fade right out of the box with no turn even with 300 feet of power. After beating it in for a couple months it started flying like the numbers suggest and had pretty good glide. The Crave is super flat and comfortable to throw both forehand and backhand. For a beginner this could probably fill a slightly overstable fairway slot but will not fly straight, at least not in the plasma blend plastic.

    I have a Crave in the Neutron plastic and this thing fly's more like an 11 speed on the distance but dead straight for me which works prefect, When thrown on a power shot I can get 300 plus feet but if you want to slow it down you can throw laser's like a midrange disc. 

    This is a must bag disc in my opinion and it will shock you on what you can do with it and its very beginner friendly as well.

    It is as advertised. It does a narrow S turn on a flat release. The S turn is narrow enough that you could fit this disc through tight corridors for 300ft. A straight 300ft shot is not something I need often, but when i need a straight shot just out of reach of my putter, and a little shorter than my valkyrie will get me, this is the disc I will throw.

    Axiom says the Crave flies just like a beat up Servo and they are exactly right. Grabbed one to replace an old Servo that got stuck in a tree and it is flying perfect. I do like the Crave since it has a pretty soft fade at the end. I find the Servo to fade very rapidly. 

    I find this is relatively easy to hyzerflip and have it go straight. Thrown flat, it has a good amount of "S" shape to it. I was also looking for something between a Signal and a Relay for understability and this is it. 

    Great on a backhand turnover as well.

    Much like the Servo, I would recommend this disc to anyone. If I was going to take one disc with me while traveling, the Crave is it since it does it all.

    I bought a 160 gram Neutron Crave as part of a pair of fairway drivers (along with the Inspire) for my wife, who was struggling to throw our near max weight fairway drivers.  I did a lot of research on what would be best for her game, and Axiom checked all the boxes:

    -- Axiom produces a lot of its fairway drivers in lower weights, which makes the discs a lot easier to get up to speed and to see its intended flight.

    -- The Crave and Inspire are both shallower fairway drivers, ideal for someone with smaller hands to throw.

    -- The Gyro rim means a slightly gentler fade and a controlled turn that doesn't let the disc turn all the way over or become an unintentional roller.

    -- The rim and flight plate allow for some great color combinations.  This is definitely the least important factor, but my wife was excited about the bright colors.

    We couldn't be more satisfied with this choice.  I even like to borrow this disc sometime, and the lower weight lets me get great distance with a solid skip at the end.  The disc is very true to the flight numbers.  It has great glide and will only move a little bit either left or right.  My wife is able to get her best distance with this disc and reaches for this on any hole that requires a driver.  A light weight Crave is a great choice for players who are working on improving their arm speed and may struggle to 9+ speed drivers consistently.

    When I checked to see if I had typed a review on the Crave and saw that I had not... I also decided to check my pulse. I can't believe I have yet to leave a review on this amazing disc! This is a disc that has been a staple in my bag for 4-5 years. I actually have a Neutron Crave that I know has been my bag for over 3 years and I had several before this one. Not to mention I have several back ups for if I ever (hopefully never) lose this disc. Now on to the review...

    The Crave is, in my opinion, the absolute best fairway driver on the market. Countless fairway drivers have made their way into my bag and have eventually worked their way out but the Crave is the 1 fairway that was put in and will more than likely never leave. It is the most controllable fairway I have ever thrown. I can use it to go left, right, or dead straight. And it's not like it's one of those discs that you have to put an extreme amount of hyzer or anny on to get it to do what you want. With minor angle and speed tweaks, this thing will do almost anything you want it to do. And if that isn't enough to sell you on it, this is also the absolute most straight flying fairway I have ever thrown. Just find a basket and then point and shoot. The Crave is always going to go exactly where you want it to!

    I have this disc in Neutron at 155g. I had surgery on my wrist and after a round with max weight discs my wrist and elbow ache so I have thrown lightweight disc for about 5 years now. This disc bombs for a 7 speed disc. Even at 155g this disc will flip up but not over. For reference I throw 350 max in good conditions. After a few rounds I am still getting used to the disc but yesterday I used it for an 300' approach shot with no room for run up just stand still on an ever so slight hyzer and this disc held that line until it crashed into a stump 12' past the basket! If I throw it hard and flat it just takes of and sails straight and then finally hyzers out at the end. I suspect as it gets beat in it will be laser beam straight. One note, when I have powered it down for touch shots closer to the basket it will hyzer dump suprisingly hard at the end. Also this disc will take forehand throws quite well even skipping good if you need it to. All around awesome disc that has bumped my eagle out my bag. For me this disc flyes 8/ 5/ 0/ 1

    The Crave was a huge surprise for me. I had to pick up a new Anode for a tournament the next morning, while in DiscMart I saw the numbers on the Crave and needed to fill a low speed neutral flight slot in my bag. I first pulled it out in the woods on my local course while playing doubles. My partner was parked so I told our group I needed to break in a new disc, I threw a thumber hoping to hit a tree or get a hard landing and I’ll be damned if it didn’t weave through the trees and park under the basket. If you can throw a good baseball thumber (centerfield to home plate style) this thing is money up to 250ish. Not as much distance as I get overhand with the Resistor but same pin point accuracy and flip.

    This disc is by far my most versatile disc that i own. You can crank on the power or tone it down with any line and it holds about 90% of its flight. From a stand still i can throw it roughly 300 ft and on a drive about 340 ft. If you throw it flat it will have a straight minimum fade line. On a slight an-hyser it will turn almost the entire flight and vice versa for a hyser. Perfect for getting around obstacles or hitting any tunnel!  I recommend this disc to anyone looking to shave strokes off their game. Truly a game changer disc. If i could putt with it, this would be my choice for single disc rounds its that good!!!

    This is my absolute go-to disc for any straight shot. When thrown flat and fast, it will fly exactly how it was released. The only issue with these are the durability, the outer rim is pretty soft and they become understable quickly if you throw them a lot. But I like its predictable flight so much, I don't mind re-buying this once or twice a season, I think I've got 4 of them right now, I couldn't imagine playing a round without this disc.

    Yet another good quality disc from Axiom. I feel like I can only give it 3 stars because mine does not fly as it is advertised. By no means does this mean it is a bad disc but it is far more overstable than the flight pattern shows. It actually seems similar to my westside discs world. That is a speed 14 with 4 fade driver. It is totally possible that my individual disc does not represent all of the craves, but this has just been my experience with it.

    The Crave is a wonderful control driver. When thrown flat, it drifts a little right and then fades back to center for a dead straight throw. The distance is remarkable for a speed 6 driver as it wastes so little energy going left or right. The disc that it most reminds me of is a Westside Warship, but I would say that the Crave is more forgiving. I know that my release isn't that consistent, but the Crave's flight is very consistent. I throw the Crave rhbh and have only an average arm.

    I just picked up a Crave to try out for my straight/stable Fairway driver. 
    I got a Neutron 175g Black Core, White Rim & Neutron 173g Blue Core Blue Rim
    The disc looks and feels great.  Flat top, fairly pointy feel, but slightly blunted and feels right in the hand.

    The flight was almost as expected.  It was actually more HSS than I would have guessed.  The disc flies true to flight #'s 6/4/-0.75/2 or 7/4/-1/2 if you want it closer to Innova rating.  The rim width was not as wide as a Teebird. But it was very aerodynamic.  So it can zip, but does not go THAT far.  If you muscle it really good it will turn over and ride but not a big flip.  It just takes a small anhyzer bank and rides mostly straight.  It is not a Flippy disc, it is not an overstable disc, its just goes where you aim it with a nice confident hyzer fade out in the last 15% of the flight.  It is pretty trusty to finish on the hyzer.  Nice disc.  A stable, do-it-all type of fairway disc.  Its small, thin, flat, flies in a tight S shape.  All around I was impressed with the disc.

    This disc makes it's way in and out of my bag. It is starting to season in a little so I am starting to see the turn of -1, but the fade is a little stronger than a +1. What really surprises me is the amount of skip the disc generates, much more than what I expect out of a fairway with these numbers. A decent disc, but not a staple in my bag.

    EDIT- 5/25/17

    I now bag three Craves in three weights and plastics. It's thin rim and shallow profile fit great in my hand and its versatility as a driver/ approach disc that I can comfortably backhand or flick with control makes it a workhorse in my bag. I have my seasoned neutron at 172 , a plasma at 168 that has a little more turn and less fade, and a 174 proton that is the most stable. I can put this on numerous lines and trust it to do what I need.

    I am writing this from my own prespective. I am a new player who can only throw about 275 feet reliably.

     

    Pros:

    • Won't turn over in a direct headwind
    • Great aesthetics like most axiom discs. I don't have a plasma 'skullboy' crave but they are pretty sweet.
    • Consistent left turn for utility shots. I still use this driver but only for hyzer spikes and left turning drives.
    • Very reliable downhill. Won't get squirly and go way right of target.

    Cons:

    • Flight numbers are off. This is one of the most overstable discs I've ever thrown.  I can actually get a straighter flight out of an innova firebird.
    • Too stable to get big distance. (usually throw around 225 feet which puts it in the same range as my MVP Tangent)

    This disc is a very good stable fairway driver. The rim on this disc is a bit skinnier because it's a fairway and I throw forehand and it is very comfortable to throw. Also, this disc fades right for me right at the end so if you aim it right its perfect for going right around trees.

    wouldnt be my first choice for a driver, however still a sweet disc. comes in many color options with in my eyes is a big deal because i like to have a bag that sticks to one color. As far as the actual throwing of the disc goes it is something that I am still trying to figure out 100%. unlike some discs this one has taken me some time to figure out.

    I recommend this disc to any skill level. My all time go to disc for woods courses. Its not something in going to rip on but if i need a placement shot between 200-320 i wont consider anything else. Multiple aces with it also

    The Neutron Crave is an S-curve monster in the hands of a player with moderate arm speed.  Thrown flat, it exhibits gentle turn with minimum fade.  Into a headwind, it generally will turn very hard but try to fight back even before it hits the ground.  The small rim width lends itself to a comfortable grip, and even thought it doesn't have a ton of dome, it has a ton of glide.  This is a low speed driver that you can get solid distance with.  

    Don't get this disc in Proton plastic if you're playing in the cold, as it is incredibly splippery.  The Neutron is a bit better, but not great.

    Neutron 163g. This is a great disc. While it's slot in my bag is currently taken by the warship (as I prefer throwing mids to fairway drivers now), the crave is still an excellent disc. I think it would be a great disc for beginners getting into fairway drivers and more advanced players. It is just so consistently straight.

    I have a weak arm, I get these out around 270 but boy are they consitant and easy to throw.  As a rec player my form is less then great, what do you expect I don't practice, but this disc very forgiving so a bad throw rarely ends in distaster.  Slight variations in my form doesn't completely wreck my line.  That is way I like it so much.  It will be a staple in my bag for a long time.  Nice straight tight S curve all day, everyday.

    Dead straight... Those are the two words I have for the Crave. It will hold a lazer beam from start to finish. I would compare it to a flat, Discraft XL with more distance. Similar to the clash but less turn and less fade. Great all around disc.

    The crave is a more newer purchase for me, but has already become a staple in my selection of discs. This is one of the only Axiom/MVP discs that I agree with the stats listed. The Crave can go perfectly straight with a natural small end fade, or the disc can be turned over and hold that anhizer line till in lands. Teh Crave feels very similar to the Inspire but is a much more stable flyer. This is a great fairway driver for those narrow tree shots. Very happy with my purchase of this disc, and honestly, I have yet to trade in or get rid of any Axiom/MVP discs I have picked up. Its all about that Gyro!

    When i got this disc it did exactly what the flight chart shows but now...

    After throwing this disc more, over a month now it has started to become more overstable, compared to when i first got the disc. I use to be able to throw this disc and get a straight line out of it with very little turn and very little fade. Now, it will barely turn and then fade over pretty hard. Flies more like a 6 5 -0.5 2. It also does not have a very good finishing forward fade anymore like the MVP/Axiom disc are known for. Maybe i have just smashed it into a few too many trees, and with that the plastic still looks great with very very little wear on the edge.

    This disc is awesome! this disc flies unbelievably straight, even when over powered. The crave is my go to disc on pretty much everything. If I need to i can even flick it around 250 plus feet without turning it over. I can back hand this disc 350 very easily and make it look just like the fight chart. my absolute favorite disc.

    You kidding me? This fairway driver is so good it should be outlawed.Its a straight flyer and  It has such a beautiful foward fade. It can generally help win tournaments when thrown properly. No guarantees of course.

    The crave is my favorite Fairway driver.  It is consistant, even, and easy to throw.  My biggest complaint is the plastic is not as easy to grip when wet, but as long as you can keep it dry, it won't let you down.

    The course I play the most is a shorter, very wooded course. I throw this disc for the 200 to 275 range shots where I need it to go straight and then finish with a predictable left turn. This is a great fairway disc for just about anyone.

    The Crave is another example of a disc i had no intention of buying but went ahead and bought anyway, and I'm glad i did. i picked up a 172g in neutron and it's quickly becoming my favorite disc in my bag. It holds a line like no other and is by far the most consistent disc i own. it's a super strait flying disc when thrown on a flat release, but will hold a perfect hyzer when thrown on a hyzer release. I've thrown more birdies in the last 4 days with this disc then I've thrown in the last 4 months. I can't say enough good things about the Crave. If your on the fence about buying one, just do it. and get it in a weight you would normally use with a fairway driver.

    The Crave is a really good fairway driver. This is definitely one of the most stable, straight flying discs I've ever thrown. The disc golf term 'stability' can be pretty confusing depending on who is talking about it, and what they are referring to. If something is less stable, does that mean it's understable, or just less overstable? Is something that is more stable, overstabe, or just less understable? And what the heck does super stable mean?

    When I say this disc is incredibly stable, is that my 172g Neutron Crave exhibits almost no high speed turn when I throw it, but it also hardly fades on me at the end of the flight. It's a totally straight flyer, and holds its line forever without coming out. I tried throwing the Crave hard with a slight hyzer to see if it would flip up and straighten out, but it wouldn't. It just held the hyzer line the entire flight for me and faded hard left. I would give the Crave I tested flight ratings 7/5/0/1.

    Perhaps over time the Crave will beat in a little bit and exhibit more high speed turn like the flight chart indicates, but as a brand new disc, this thing is stable. I generally can't flick anything understable without turning it over, but I can throw the Crave forehand and get great straight line drives. This is the first driver I've ever felt that I could use for a forehand throw I wanted to finish left with a slight anhyzer release. The other thing that makes this a great sidearm disc is that the Crave has a super flat top and a very thin profile. For me this gives it a very good feel, and the hard neutron plastic allows for a clean consistent release. Generally, flat topped discs don't glide very well, but strangely enough the Crave seems to glide really well. I don't know if it's the Gyro technology that makes this disc so awesome, but if you're looking for a straight fairway driver, definitely put the Crave on your short list.

    I got a Neutron Crave, 155 grams because I have never thrown a lightweight fairway driver. I have very mixed feelings about this disc. It's really a nice disc, but the light weight gives it some negative attributes.

    First, I will say that the disc feels very comfortable in the hand and it flies very fast out of your hand. It also has a good amount of glide to keep it in the air and make it a touch more stable. Something strange about this disc, though, is that the disc will turn slightly at high speeds but once it starts to get stable, it falls out of the air very quickly. This disc did seem very similar to the Volt, but obviously slower. I found this disc to be very controllable for tight wooded holes because of the light weight and straight flight, but I am not going to bag this disc for two reasons. The first reason is that this disc does not like wind at all. If it starts turning over into a headwind, it won't come back at all. The second reason is that I usually like heavy discs and this weight of 155 doesn't feel right to me and doesn't provide me with the same control and consistency as do max weight discs. This was my first disc from Axiom Discs and I was impressed, but I made a mistake getting one that was so light. I would recommend this disc to people that need a reliable straight disc.

    I ordered two juicy Watermelon Craves and threw a 175 on release day and loved it. It's a laser beam that can ride out low ceiling shots and so far has minimal skip for placement shots. I'd compare it to a TL maybe with a little less skip and a lot more beauty! I think I'm going to get my hands on a Neutron version and see how that compares. Definitely recommended for the bag.
