The Axiom Hex in Particle Eclipse is a stable midrange with Jeremy Koling's "Tales of Terror" stamp on Axiom's glow plastic loaded with suspended color particles. Take away the glow and the particles and it is still the same Hex that plays like a Buzzz with extra glide.

Flight Numbers: 5 / 5 / -1 / 1

Particle Eclipse holds a charge well under a blacklight or a phone flashlight and keeps glowing for most of a night round. The particles suspended in the plastic do not change the flight, they just make each disc look a little different off the shelf. Like Axiom's other glow blends it feels a touch firmer than a straight premium plastic and takes a little longer to break in, so the flight you get on day one holds for a good while.

Thrown flat the Hex holds unbelievably straight with only the smallest fade at the very end, which is the exact comparison every Buzzz thrower makes the first time they throw one. Hyzer it and it rides smooth without flipping over. It handles forehand and backhand equally well thanks to the shallow rim, and it is the disc to reach for on a tunnel shot or a placement line where you cannot afford a surprise. New players get a trustworthy straight flight out of it, and anyone replacing a beat in Buzzz gets a fresh disc that flies almost identically.

Never thrown a Hex before? The stock Neutron Hex is the plastic almost everyone starts with. Want the mold in a Halloween themed run instead? Check the Total Eclipse Simon Lizotte Hex. If you already bag the Discraft standard, the Discraft ESP Buzzz is the disc it gets compared to most. Browse every version in the Hex collection.
