SKU: DG-AXM-PLC-ES-TEM (REF2712-6)
Description
The Axiom Electron Soft Tempo putter is Axiom's overstable, low-profile putt and approach disc, molded in Electron 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. If you're shopping for a dependable Tempo for your bag, this Electron Soft run is a great place to start.
Electron Soft Plastic
Electron Soft is the most flexible version of MVP's grippy, matte Electron plastic. It has the same tactile, all-weather grip with a softer feel in the hand. It's designed to wear slowly, and as your Tempo picks up a few battle scars it gains a little glide and flies straighter. The GYRO overmold keeps it on line, and premium blends like Neutron hold their out-of-the-box flight longer if you want less wear. The Tempo is also available in Cosmic Electron, Electron, Electron Firm and Neutron.
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

| 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. |
