PLH and Dome Guide
We measure Parting Line Height (PLH) and Dome on every disc so you know what you are actually getting, not just what the flight numbers say.
Parting Line Height (PLH)
The parting line is the seam around the middle of the rim.
- Higher number = higher PLH = more overstable
- Lower number = lower PLH = more understable
This is one of the most reliable ways to compare stability between discs of the same mold.
Dome
Dome is the height of the flight plate.
- Higher number = more dome
- Lower number = flatter top
Flatter discs usually feel faster and handle wind better.
More dome typically adds glide and carry.
Why we show a range
You will see:
- The measurement for the selected disc
- The full range for that run
The range gives the number context.
Example:
PLH 6 (range 4–6)
That means you are looking at the most overstable version from that batch.
This makes it easier to:
- Find true backups
- Compare multiple copies
- Dial in your stability exactly
Flight numbers describe the mold.
PLH and dome describe the individual disc.
The Axiom Discs Time-Lapse was first released in November 2023. As time as gone on, it was determined that the final product wasn’t quite what Simon Lizotte and the MVP gang were looking for. They’ve gone back to the drawing board and are ready to release the retooled version of the popular Time-Lapse.
The new Time-Lapse has been retooled to give it a better feel in the hand which then leads to an even better flight. MVP/Axiom’s goal was to provide a distance driver that gives power throwers a lot of control and slower arm speeds more predictability in how it would fly.
Initially the Time-Lapse was quite overstable and while that can be desirable at times, it was often times just too much disc for many disc golfers. Now, the finish is a bit calmer and has new flight numbers of 12, 5, -1, 2.
The glide is outstanding and the softer finish is exactly what disc golfers have been after.
Watch Simon’s video where he gives the new Time-Lapse a trial run:
The four numbers on a disc tell you the discs’s flight characteristics: speed, glide, turn, and fade.
Lower speed ratings typically translate to a disc being easier to throw, but may not go as far. Higher the speed, further they’ll fly, but they are more difficult to throw.
Glide tells you how much it wants to stay in the air.
Turn indicates how much it wants to turn to the right at high speeds. -4 will turn more than -1.
Fade tells you about the end of the flight. The higher the number, the stronger it will finish to the left.
