The Axiom Rhythm is an understable 7-speed. It was released back in 2021, and has since been one of the more popular discs in the Axiom line!
The Rhythm is most suited to hyzer flips and buttery smooth turnovers! It's a dream come true if you're in the woods, or if you don't have a marvelous sidearm game!Ā
One great thing about the Rhythm is that it is not too understable. This just means that you can rely on it to not turn and burn. It will generally always finish its flight with a touch of fade!
This disc has a very low profile, which gives it a very comfortable fit in the hand! This also makes it a reasonable choice for sidearm shots. In the video below you'll see Cheating Lefty demonstrating this.
Whatever kind of disc golfer you are, the Rhythm will probably find a home in your bag! It's workable understability is not to be resisted or refused!
With a speed of 7, glide of 5, turn of -2, and a fade of 1, the Rhythm was designed to be either a great first driver or a line-shaping fairway driver for power arms. Lower power players will find the Rhythm to be laser straight with a slight fade at the end, making it a great line-hitting disc. Higher power players will love the Rhythm for carving up the woods with hyzer flips or natural turnovers from flat, even rollers arenāt out of the question for the Rhythm. Whether youāre looking for your first straight driver or an awesome line shaper, turn to the Rhythm to find your beat on the course.
