Mint Discs
SKU: DG-MT-EF-ALP (REF2311-1)
Description
The Mint Discs Eternal Flex Alpha fairway driver is Mint Discs' go-to power fairway driver, molded in Eternal Flex 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. Mint Discs is a Texas disc golf brand you'll find at events and minis around the state.
Eternal Flex Plastic
Eternal is tough and durable, so you can trust it to take a beating on the course without worrying about what that tree just did to your disc. It has a clear "candy" look that stands out in the fairway, and it wears in slowly for reliable flights every throw. This Flex version has a more flexible feel.
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.
