Mint Discs
SKU: DG-MT-AS-LNG (REF2312-9)
Description
The Mint Discs Apex Swirl Longhorn distance driver is Mint's long-bomb, overstable-stable distance driver, molded in Apex Swirl plastic. It's built for players who want long, flip-to-flat drives with a trusty fade, and it's at its best on long-bomb distance drives. Mint Discs is a Texas disc golf brand you'll find at events and minis around the state.
Apex Swirl Plastic
Apex is Mint's premium plastic, designed for top-of-the-line grip without sacrificing durability. Mint finds it has slightly more glide, helping the disc carry forward, and it's typically opaque. This Swirl run adds swirled colors for a one-of-a-kind look.
The Mold
The Longhorn is the perfect complement to the understable Freetail. It flips up to flat and soars down the fairway before its trusty fade kicks in, a perfect long-bomb, overstable-stable distance driver.
Stability
The Longhorn 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.
