Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-EC-HEX (REF692-135)
Description
The Axiom Eclipse Hex midrange is Axiom's versatile, mesmerizingly straight midrange, molded in Eclipse plastic. It's built for players of every power level who want one midrange for every shot shape, and it's at its best on straight midrange lines and controlled shots in the woods. If you're shopping for a dependable Hex for your bag, this Eclipse run is a great place to start.
Eclipse Glow Plastic
Eclipse is the premium glow plastic, built with the ultra-bright Glow Core 2.0 for visibility day or night. It's highly durable, so your Hex will have a long, consistent life, and it's a top pick for glow rounds and evening leagues. MVP notes that Eclipse offers an alternate flight compared to its other premium plastics, so it may fly a little differently than the same mold in Neutron or Proton.
The Mold
The Hex is a 21.4 cm midrange with a 13 mm rim. It is an exceptionally versatile midrange, able to perform a wide variety of shot shapes. At the highest arm speeds, it produces slightly understable lines from flat, but its fade of 1 keeps it from flipping over completely. For lower arm speeds, it has enough turn to make shaping lines a breeze, making it a great choice for control in the woods.
Stability
The Hex is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

FAQ
Is the Axiom Hex good for beginners?
Yes. MVP says the Hex will find a place in anyone's bag as a versatile, reliably straight midrange.
Is the Axiom Hex overstable?
Not really. The Hex is stable, rated 5/5/-1/1, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Eclipse and Neutron plastic?
Eclipse is a durable premium glow plastic for night rounds, and it can fly a little differently. Neutron is the opaque flagship blend with the widest color selection.
What disc is similar to the Axiom Hex?
The MVP Detour (5/5/-2/1) is a slightly more understable mid that MVP places between the Hex and the Uplink.
How far does the Axiom Hex fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 275 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
