SKU: DM-DM-ACT-MEN-PNK-170 (REF396/C)
Description
The Discmania Active Mentor distance driver is the widest-rimmed Active distance driver, molded in Active plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on optimized distance for all players. If you're shopping for a dependable Mentor for your bag, this Active run is a great place to start.
Active Plastic
Active is Discmania's base-level plastic, a solid blend with great grip in all weather conditions that wears gradually.
The Mold
The Mentor combines high-speed turn with slow-speed stability to maximize distance for all players. It has the widest rim in the Active lineup, and it gains more turn the faster it's thrown, so you can throw harder for distance or softer for a controlled, stable shot.
Stability
The Mentor is stable-to-understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
