Mint Discs
SKU: DG-MT-A-TAC (REF1883-9)
Description
The Mint Discs Apex Taco midrange is Mint's big-bead power midrange, molded in Apex plastic. It's built for players who want confidence on upshots, and it's at its best on upshots in the wind, backhand or forehand. Mint Discs is a Texas disc golf brand you'll find at events and minis around the state.
Apex 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. White Apex is ideal for dyeing.
The Mold
The Taco is a power midrange that can handle some torque and fight the wind. It has a big bead and a rounded nose, works great for backhands and forehands, and helps you face your upshots with confidence.
Stability
The Taco 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.
