Axiom Time-Lapse Overstable Distance Driver
The Axiom Time-Lapse was without a doubt one of the most popular disc golf releases in 2023! It's essentially MVP Disc Sport's answer to the ever-popular Innova Destroyer.
The Time-Lapse is the perfect blend of turn, glide, and overstability. It has a comfortable feel in the hand. It's a great choice for sidearm and backhand throwers.
The Time-Lapse was the first disc to be released in the new Simon Line from MVP! A lot of this disc's popularity can be attributed to Lizotte's epic throwing!
If you're a player with a decent amount of arm power, looking for a super accurate and reliable distance driver that will go far, the Time-Lapse is your disc!

Flight Numbers
Speed: 12
Glide: 5
Turn: -1
Fade: 3
MVP pretty much nailed their flight numbers on this one! The disc has a fast and glidey flight, with a touch of turn, and then a strong fade back! You can read our full Simon Lizotte Time-Lapse Review here.
Flight Path Chart
Here's an MVP Time-Lapse flight chart to give you a basic idea of how it's going to to fly!
Plastics
This far MVP has only released the Time-Lapse inProton, Neutron, and Fission plastic. Proton Time-Lapses are currently very scarce.
Neutron: Grippy and durable these Time-Lapse's are the most common right now! They have an overstable flight and bunches of glide! You can read our Neutron plastic review for more information.
Fission: Everyone went crazy when the Fission Time-Lapse was released. This lightweight plastic makes it easier to throw for players with lower arm power. It also means that you can throw it even further! You can learn more about this amazing plastic in our Fission plastic review.

Skill recommendations
Beginner: The Time-Lapse is not a great choice for beginner players. You need to practice on slower discs like putters and mids, and perfect your form before throwing distance drivers! This disc is too fast and too overstable.
Intermediate: If you're looking for an overstable driver that you can use for meathooks and headwinds then try an Axiom Time-Lapse! Its touch of understability makes it more than manageable. If you're looking for distance get a lighter Fission Timelapse.
Advanced: You're going to want to try one of these bad boys out asap if you're an advanced player! With decent arm power, you're going to get considerable turn out of this driver and as a result massive distance!Â
