SKU: DG-MT-FR-BCAT (REF2002-6)
Description
The Mint Discs Royal Firm Bobcat midrange is Mint's flat-profile power midrange, molded in Royal Firm plastic. It's built for backhand and forehand-dominant players, and it's at its best on windy mid shots. Mint Discs is a Texas disc golf brand you'll find at events and minis around the state.
Royal Firm Plastic
Royal is Mint's pro-grade plastic. Its advantage over Sublime, Apex, and Eternal is superior grip in all conditions, with a tacky feel that's uniquely soft yet firm. It's also ideal if you want a disc to season faster: it typically flies straighter as it wears in and loses its high-speed stability. This Firm version has a stiffer feel.
The Mold
Designed as a power midrange to complement the Alpha, the Bobcat has a flat profile that cuts through almost any wind. It's perfect for backhand or forehand-dominant players.
Stability
The Bobcat is stable-to-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.
