Axiom Discs Project Lab Coat Neutron Soft Tempo Putter 4/4/0/2.5
by
Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-PLC-NS-TEM (REF2833-2)
Description
The Axiom Neutron Soft Tempo putter is Axiom's overstable, low-profile putt and approach disc, molded in Neutron Soft plastic. It's built for players who want a dependable approach disc for breezy days, and it's at its best on windy approaches and consistent approach angles.
Neutron Soft Plastic
Neutron Soft gives you the premium look, bright opaque colors, and Proton-level durability of Axiom's flagship Neutron blend with a softer, more flexible feel in the hand. That extra flex helps your Tempo settle where it lands instead of skipping away. Like standard Neutron, it holds its flight for a long time. The Tempo is also available in Cosmic Electron, Electron, Electron Firm and Electron Soft.
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 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 Tempo flies just like the pre-PLC "Classics," with a fresh, modern look.
The Mold
The Tempo is a 21.2 cm putt and approach disc with an 11 mm rim. It excels as an overstable putt and approach disc thanks to its low profile and flat flight plate. Power throwers may see a little turn before the torque resistance and reliable fade kick in for its forward-pushing finish. Lower-power throwers get a straight-to-overstable disc that's great for windy days and consistent approach angles. It's arguably become Jeremy "Big Jerm" Koling's disc of choice.
Stability
The Tempo is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
