Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-RTN-TL (REF2230-2)
Description
The Axiom Neutron Time-Lapse (Retooled) distance driver is Simon Lizotte's retooled, workhorse max-distance Simon Line driver, molded in Neutron plastic. It's built for high-power players who want glide and flight-extending turn, and lower-power players who want a go-to distance driver, and it's at its best on max-distance drives with a reliable finish.
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 Time-Lapse (Retooled) 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.
The retooled Time-Lapse shows how seriously Simon and MVP take the line: after hearing that the original run flew as a wind fighter, they made microscopic changes until it became the workhorse max-distance driver they envisioned. Other discs in the Simon Line include the Axiom Pixel, Axiom Bokeh, and Axiom Balance.
The Mold
The Time-Lapse (Retooled) is a 21.2 cm distance driver with a 22 mm rim. Many players found the original Time-Lapse to be a great wind fighter, but Simon and MVP wanted it to be a workhorse max-distance driver in everyone's bag. After microscopic alterations to several aspects of the mold, it now meets their desired flight, and its flight numbers were updated to 12/5/-1/2. High-power players will enjoy its glide and flight-extending turn.
Stability
The Time-Lapse (Retooled) 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 | 12 | 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 | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Axiom Time-Lapse (Retooled) good for beginners?
It can be. MVP says lower-power players will find the retooled Time-Lapse a very usable go-to distance driver.
Is the Axiom Time-Lapse (Retooled) overstable?
Not really. The Time-Lapse (Retooled) is stable, rated 12/5/-1/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
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 Time-Lapse (Retooled)?
The Axiom Defy (11/5/-1/3) is a slightly slower driver with similar turn and a stronger fade.
How far does the Axiom Time-Lapse (Retooled) fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 395 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
