I tried to dye an R-Pro disc and it bled bigtime. And that doesn't look like the dye took well.

I have dyed DX even though its said you cant. Most baseline doesn't have a dense sheen to the polymer so the appeance isn't going to be as sharp IMO.

Not me AIM. I should get my hands on a blank atom and give it a shot tho.
should have been more clear-- for passing on the 411 RE: atom's taking dye.. This was the guy you were referring to correct?

Ah! Yep!
I'm liking the Atom as a putting putter. Plastic feel, grip, chain grabbing all superb...reg Electron. And being a little faster with the lower profile helps when putting in the wind. The only downside I see is with long putts, because the Atom doesn't have the float or glide of most other putters.

It definitely takes a little to dial in the long putts, for sure. What putter did you come from? I was throwing Judges, which have mega glide, so there was a little adjustment.
Voodoo and Magic, Magic for outside the circle. I'm starting to dial in long putts with the Atom...aim higher, lol.

It's funny, I mentioned this a few pages back...I've been putting for a while with soft P, Ions and Anodes. I feel like the Atom has MORE float than them, not a ton, but some. Plus I push putt, straight arm, no elbow or wrist action. Really had to kind of lob the soft P putters outside the circle, but the Atom has made me more comfortable with normal putting motion out to like 40+.

Trying to adjust from a Judge as well. Time will tell.

Electron normal is pretty soft, I'm hoping for Electron Hard if they make driver/mid molds in that plastic. I still think it handles tree hits pretty well though, better than DX and Innova makes everything in DX it seems like.

I just got two more Atoms. Same weight, one feels flatter. I'm guessing that will be the thrower and the domey one will be the putter. I could see carrying three atoms and an envy.

Make one a thrower for a month and then see if your opinion changes.
My thrower looks like garbage but still flies fantastically.
I think it would be different for a driver but I could be wrong, but that's kinda the case with most base line plastic.
So far it hasn't been more durable than dx in my testing. I very easily put a deep gouge in the rim on a normal putt for example.
I'm not saying this is bad or good though. Just my observations.

But how is it affecting stability? DX gets thrashed looking and becomes flippy. Haven't seen the same with Electron yet.

I'm about to go spend an hour with an Atom and a chain link backstop.
