Mint Discs
SKU: DG-MT-A-IDOL (REF2314-9)
Description
The Mint Discs Apex Idol distance driver is Mint's high-speed distance driver, made by Prodigy, molded in Apex plastic. It's built for players chasing long, controlled power drives, and it's at its best on raw power and long, controlled flights. Mint Discs is a Texas disc golf brand you'll find at events and minis around the state.
Apex Plastic
Apex is Mint's premium plastic, designed for top-of-the-line grip without sacrificing durability. Mint finds it has slightly more glide, helping the disc carry forward, and it's typically opaque. White Apex is ideal for dyeing.
The Mold
The Mint Discs Idol is manufactured by Prodigy Disc. It's a high-speed distance driver built for raw power and long, controlled flights, with a bit more turn than the Goat and a nice, reliable fade at the end.
Stability
The Idol is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 13 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 2.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Mint Discs Idol good for beginners?
Not as a first driver. At 13 speed it needs real arm speed.
Is the Mint Discs Idol overstable?
Not really. The Idol is stable, rated 13/5/-1/2.5, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between Apex and Eternal plastic?
Apex is opaque with top-of-the-line grip and slightly more glide. Eternal is clear, tough, and wears in slowly.
What disc is similar to the Mint Discs Idol?
The Mint Discs Eternal Goat (12/4/-1/3) is a slightly slower, more overstable bomber.
How far does the Mint Discs Idol fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 410 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
