Mint Discs
SKU: DG-MT-AS-MINT (REF1954-3)
Description
The Mint Discs Sublime Alpha fairway driver is Mint Discs' go-to power fairway driver, molded in Sublime plastic. It's built for players who want one fairway driver that responds to the line they give it, and it's at its best on headwinds and carving up the woods. This listing features the Mint Logo stamp, a limited-edition Sublime run.
Sublime Plastic
Sublime has the optimal mix of grip and durability, typically with an opaque metallic look or a brilliant sparkle effect. Mint uses it for Limited Editions and tournament stamps, so these discs are special.
The Mold
The Alpha fills the essential go-to fairway slot in every golfer's bag. It's designed as a true power fairway with a straight flight and reliable fade, and it responds to the line and power you give it. Capable of fighting headwinds or carving up the woods, it's a uniquely stable disc that Mint absolutely loves.
Stability
The Alpha 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 | 8 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
