Mint Discs
SKU: DG-MT-AS-PHX (REF1889-6)
Description
The Mint Discs Apex Swirl Phoenix fairway driver is Mint's overstable, wind-fighting 9-speed, molded in Apex Swirl plastic. It's built for players who need to fight wind or get out of trouble, and it's at its best on flexing forehands and spike hyzers. Mint Discs is a Texas disc golf brand you'll find at events and minis around the state.
Apex Swirl 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. This Swirl run adds swirled colors for a one-of-a-kind look.
The Mold
With plenty of overstability, the Phoenix is a wind-fighting beast that lands on hyzer every time you throw it. It's perfect for big, flexing forehands or monster spike hyzers, and its 9-speed rim is comfortable to grip forehand and backhand.
Stability
The Phoenix is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard 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's a valuable disc for players who need control in the wind.
