Description
Don’t let something silly, like an alien abduction, spoil the vibes after you get the OTB Open Particle Proton Soft Hex on the course! Damian White’s art makes this exclusive Hex – one of the best midranges of all time – really pop!
The Axiom Particle Proton Soft Hex midrange is Axiom's versatile, mesmerizingly straight midrange, molded in Particle Proton Soft 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. This listing is the OTB Open 2026 release of the Hex, so you get the same trusted flight with a collectible look.
Particle Proton Soft Plastic
Particle Proton Soft is a gummy, flexible, translucent version of Proton with embedded glow particles that react under UV light and help with night visibility. It offers enhanced hand feel and confidence on cold or wet days, keeps Proton's high durability, and cuts down on unwanted skips for better hit-and-sit performance. The Hex is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Eclipse, Fission and Neutron.
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. |

Discs That Pair Well With the Hex
- Axiom Prism Neutron Pyro (5/4/0/2.5): An overstable midrange for approaches that have to fade.
- Axiom Neutron Paradox (5/4/-4/0): An ultra-understable midrange for rollers and turnovers.
- Axiom Neutron Balance (5/5/0/2): A Simon Line midrange with dependable overstability for wind.
- Axiom Neutron Envy (3/3/0/2): A stable, lid-like putter for putting and approaches.
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 Particle Proton Soft and Proton plastic?
Particle Proton Soft is softer and gummier than Proton, with glow particles added. Durability is the same.
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.
