by
Mint Discs
SKU: DG-MT-EMS-IDOL (REF2315-3)
Description
The Mint Discs Eternal Mega Soft Idol distance driver is Mint's high-speed distance driver, made by Prodigy, molded in Eternal Mega Soft 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.
Eternal Mega Soft Plastic
Eternal is tough and durable, so you can trust it to take a beating on the course without worrying about what that tree just did to your disc. It has a clear "candy" look that stands out in the fairway, and it wears in slowly for reliable flights every throw. This Mega Soft version is much softer and more flexible in the hand.
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. |

Eternal Mega Soft is a much softer, more flexible version of Eternal.

The Mint Discs Eternal Goat (12/4/-1/3) is a slightly slower, more overstable bomber.
