Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-N-BAL (REF2146-9)
Description
The Axiom Neutron Balance midrange is Simon Lizotte's overstable-leaning Simon Line midrange, molded in Neutron plastic. It's built for players of every power level who want a dependable, wind-ready mid, and it's at its best on straight midrange lines with a reliable bite of fade and windy approaches. This listing is the Simon Lizotte Edition release of the Balance, so you get the same trusted flight with a collectible look.
Neutron Plastic
Neutron is the most popular plastic in the MVP and Axiom lineup and their flagship blend. It's opaque with a premium look and feel, and it comes in the widest selection of bright colors, which makes your Balance easy to find in any terrain. Neutron shares the great durability of Proton, so it holds its flight for a long time instead of wearing in quickly. Paired with Axiom's colorful GYRO rims, it's as good looking as it is dependable.
The Simon Line
No one has approached disc golf quite like Simon Lizotte, taking risks and turning conventional thinking upside down. The Simon Line follows that same drive: to carry Simon's name, a disc has to perform unlike any other.
Simon tested three prototype versions of the Balance before choosing his favorite for full production, giving fans a look behind the curtain of the design process. Other discs in the Simon Line include the Axiom Pixel, Axiom Time-Lapse (Retooled), Axiom Bokeh, and Axiom Time-Lapse.
The Mold
The Balance is a 21.5 cm midrange with a 13.5 mm rim. Simon tested three prototype versions of the Balance before picking his favorite (V2) for full production. The Balance falls between the MVP Reactor and the Axiom Pyro: overstable enough for torque resistance, wind-fighting, and a reliable, consistent flight, while keeping the flexibility of a midrange for shot shaping.
Stability
The Balance is stable-to-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.

FAQ
Is the Axiom Balance good for beginners?
It can be. Lower-power players get a dependable overstable wind-fighting mid, though a straighter mid like the Axiom Hex is easier as a first midrange.
Is the Axiom Balance overstable?
Yes. The Balance is stable-to-overstable, rated 5/5/0/2, so it resists turning over and finishes with a dependable fade.
What's the difference between Neutron and Proton plastic?
Neutron is opaque with the widest color selection, while Proton is translucent with similar durability and slightly more grip. Both hold their flight for a long time.
What disc is similar to the Axiom Balance?
The MVP Reactor (5/5/-0.5/1.5) is a little less stable. MVP places the Balance between the Reactor and the Axiom Pyro.
How far does the Axiom Balance 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.
