Axiom Disc Golf Neutron Tenacity Distance Driver 13/5/-2.5/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Axiom Neutron Tenacity distance driver is Axiom's understable 13-speed bomber, molded in Neutron plastic. It's built for players who want sneaky-long distance with an understable flight, and it's at its best on long turnover drives and max-distance flights. If you're shopping for a dependable Tenacity for your bag, this Neutron run is a great place to start.
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 Tenacity 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 Mold
The Tenacity is a 21.1 cm distance driver with a 23 mm rim. It is the understable bomber from Axiom's high-speed 23mm distance class. With proper form, it easily qualifies as "sneaky long." It's best compared to a worn MVP Catalyst and features the familiar evenly domed top that promotes distance-covering glide.
Stability
The Tenacity 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 | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2.5 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Axiom Tenacity good for beginners?
It can work for players ready for a high-speed driver, since its understability helps it fly straighter at lower power.
Is the Axiom Tenacity overstable?
No. The Tenacity is understable, rated 13/5/-2.5/2. Its 2.5 turn makes it a better fit for turnovers and hyzer-flips than hard fades.
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 Tenacity?
The MVP Catalyst (13/5.5/-2/2) is the closest MVP match. MVP compares the Tenacity to a worn Catalyst.
How far does the Axiom Tenacity fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 410 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
