Axiom Discs
SKU: DG-AXM-PLC-N-HEX (REF2489-13)
Description
The Axiom Neutron Hex midrange is Axiom's versatile, mesmerizingly straight midrange, molded in Neutron 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.
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 Hex 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 Hex is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Eclipse, Neutron Soft and Plasma.
What Is Project Lab Coat?
Project Lab Coat (PLC) is the visual refresh of the MVP Disc Sports and Axiom Discs lineups, MVP's commitment to making sure their discs are the best they can be today, not what made sense a decade ago. Most MVP and Axiom stock stamps were 10 to 15 years old, so PLC brings fresh designs built on MVP's multi-foil stamping. Axiom Neutron stamps are getting a complete overhaul with a fresh concept. Axiom keeps its signature colorful GYRO rims, and black rims are joining the Axiom color mix.
Why it's a win: the flight and plastic don't change. PLC discs come from the same molds and plastic, made in the same Marlette, Michigan facility, so this Hex flies just like the pre-PLC "Classics," with a fresh, modern look.
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. |

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 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.
Does Project Lab Coat change how the Hex flies?
No. MVP says Project Lab Coat is solely a visual refresh. The Hex is made in the same mold, from the same plastic, in the same facility, so it flies exactly 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.
