SKU: DG-AXM-PLC-P-RHY (REF2813-8)
Description
The Axiom Proton Rhythm fairway driver is Axiom's understable 7-speed fairway driver, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for newer players looking for a first driver and power arms who want a line shaper, and it's at its best on laser-straight drives, hyzer-flips, and turnovers.
Proton Plastic
Proton is the premium look-and-durability blend: a translucent core with vibrant candy colors, paired with Axiom's vibrant color GYRO rims. It's built for high durability and a long, consistent life, and it's designed to withstand the roughest conditions. Proton has similar durability to Neutron with slightly more grip, and the translucent core looks great with an LED light for night rounds. The Rhythm is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Fission, Neutron and Plasma.
What Is Project Lab Coat?
Project Lab Coat (PLC) is the visual refresh of the MVP Disc Sports and Axiom Discs lineups, MVP's commitment to making sure their discs are the best they can be today, not what made sense a decade ago. Most MVP and Axiom stock stamps were 10 to 15 years old, so PLC brings fresh designs built on MVP's multi-foil stamping. Axiom Proton stamps are getting a complete overhaul with a fresh concept. Axiom keeps its signature colorful GYRO rims, and black rims are joining the Axiom color mix.
Why it's a win: the flight and plastic don't change. PLC discs come from the same molds and plastic, made in the same Marlette, Michigan facility, so this Rhythm flies just like the pre-PLC "Classics," with a fresh, modern look.
The Mold
The Rhythm is a 21.2 cm fairway driver with a 17 mm rim. It was designed to be either a great first driver or a line-shaping fairway driver for power arms. Lower-power players will find it laser straight with a slight fade at the end. Higher-power players will love carving through the woods with hyzer-flips or natural turnovers from flat, and even rollers aren't out of the question.
Stability
The Rhythm is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 7 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

FAQ
Is the Axiom Rhythm good for beginners?
Yes. MVP designed the Rhythm to be a great first driver, laser straight for lower-power players.
Is the Axiom Rhythm overstable?
No. The Rhythm is understable, rated 7/5/-2/1. Its 2 turn makes it a better fit for turnovers and hyzer-flips than hard fades.
What's the difference between Proton and Neutron plastic?
Proton is translucent with slightly more grip, while Neutron is opaque. Both are highly durable and hold their flight for a long time.
Does Project Lab Coat change how the Rhythm flies?
No. MVP says Project Lab Coat is solely a visual refresh. The Rhythm is made in the same mold, from the same plastic, in the same facility, so it flies exactly the same.
What disc is similar to the Axiom Rhythm?
The Axiom Crave (6.5/5/-1/1) is a more stable 6.5-speed fairway driver.
How far does the Axiom Rhythm fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 310 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
