The Alias is a straight, stable midrange from Axiom, rated 4 / 4 / -1 / 1 — a point-and-shoot placement disc built as a slightly firmer version of the MVP Tangent.
Minus one turn and one fade cancel out for most arms, so the Alias goes where it is released: flat stays flat, a hyzer holds, and an anhyzer pans out rather than rolling over. Axiom pitches it at exactly those shapes — straight lines, hyzers, and shallow helix shots that turn and then come back. Slower arms will find it straight with a soft left finish; harder throwers can get a little drift out of it on a flat release before the fade. Infinite’s reviewer averages across 21 reviews sit at 4.2 / 4.2 / -0.9 / 1, which is the rating almost exactly.
It is the neutral midrange in an Axiom bag, the disc between the understable Theory and the overstable Hex. Its limit is wind: with one fade it does not fight a headwind, and it is not a disc to power into.
The Alias was one of Axiom’s first moulds, PDGA approved on 12 January 2014 in the brand’s launch year, on a 12 mm rim at 21.5 cm across. Axiom does not explain the name. It is out of production; TryDiscs and Infinite both list it as discontinued.
It shipped in Neutron and Proton with MVP’s overmold rim. Beadless.
How much the Alias turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the Alias was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
