Mint Discs
SKU: DG-MT-E-PHX (REF1890-9)
Description
The Mint Discs Eternal Phoenix fairway driver is Mint's overstable, wind-fighting 9-speed, molded in Eternal 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.
Eternal 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.
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.
