Axiom Disc Golf Fission Hex Midrange 5/5.5/-1/1 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Axiom Fission Hex midrange is Axiom's versatile, mesmerizingly straight midrange, molded in Fission 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. If you're shopping for a dependable Hex for your bag, this Fission run is a great place to start.
Fission Plastic
Fission is MVP's ultra-lightweight Neutron core plastic. Its Fission Microbubble Technology creates an ultralight core with evenly distributed, imperceptible microbubbles, which allows an even denser GYRO overmold relative to the core. The result is a lighter disc that keeps the stability of its heavier counterparts, with improved weight distribution and durability over prior bubble plastics. It's a great way to get extra distance from your Hex. The Hex is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Eclipse, Neutron and Neutron Soft.
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. This Fission run is rated 5/5.5/-1/1, with more glide than the standard 5/5/-1/1. 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 | 5.5 | 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 5/5.5/-1/1, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Fission and Neutron plastic?
Fission uses a microbubble Neutron core to make the disc lighter while increasing the GYRO effect. Standard Neutron is heavier and has the widest color selection.
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.
