This is my first Axiom disc, and I’ll admit it—I’m impressed. The Axiom Rhythm is a 7/5/-2/1, very similar to my beloved Latitude 64 River (7/7/-1/1). The River has been my ride-or-die disc. Hyzer? Yep. Anhyzer? Absolutely. Straight as an arrow? Most days. I love that disc. But like any healthy relationship, I wondered… could there be something similar, but longer?After way too much research (and probably watching more YouTube than I’d like to admit), I landed on the Axiom Rhythm. I put both discs through two rounds of very scientific testing. Round one: Rhythm first, River second on every hole. Round two: River first, Rhythm second. The results? The Rhythm outperformed the River on about 75% of the throws in both distance and placement. Scientific right??? :)PROs:This disc is stupid easy to throw. Hyzer, anhyzer, straight—no problem, just like the River. The grip feels great in the Fusion plastic. The gyro technology actually does something, because I’m throwing this thing about 40 feet farther than my River. For context, I don’t have a fast arm speed. A great River throw for me is around 260 ft. The Rhythm? Consistently closer to 290 ft. That’s a huge win… although on my short local course in the woods I now have the opposite problem because I keep overthrowing holes (when not hitting the trees first). Humble brag, I guess.CONs:Let’s talk color. I bought this on Amazon, so I rolled the dice and got green. Green, for real? I will be throwing this disc in forests where everything is green. If this thing so much as looks at a tree and kicks into the woods, it’s basically camouflaged and gone forever. Not ideal but I knew the risk of getting a “random” color.Durability is my other concern. On literally my first throw, I hit a tree (shocking, I know), and a little piece of plastic was hanging off like a hangnail. I had to pull out my pocket knife and perform minor disc surgery. I’ve been throwing my River all of 2025 and have never had to trim it. Time will tell how well this holds up.Overall:Despite the green invisibility cloak and early tree trauma, I 100% recommend this disc. Just do yourself a favor and buy it from a local shop so you can pick a color that doesn’t disappear into the forest. It’s cheap enough that if it beats in too fast and changes flight, I’ll sell it used and grab another one new. If you have a slower arm speed and want a disc that flies how it’s supposed to—but just a bit farther—go get yourself an Axiom Rhythm. You probably won’t regret it… unless you lose it in the woods. Happy disc golfing everyone!
