[Other] Mint Discs

[VictorB]

My big disc order this year was all Mint. A handful of Bullets, 2 jackalopes (lost my eternal, and there's some competition for that slot in my bag - maverick, crave, and jackalope), and 1 eternal freetail.

Looking forward to trying the Bullet, even if it doesn't push Pures of the putting/throwing slot (I'm a stickler for only 1 mold for putting and throwing putters, and no the breaker doesn't count since it's approach only). Love the apex freetail I have, but it's more along the lines of roller flippy, and not quite as workable as I would like. Hopefully adding an eternal will help solve that.

Need to hear more about the Diamondback! The Jackalope is basically what I always wanted out of a sidewinder, so interested to see where it fits in the lineup.

I was fairly disappointed in my Diamondbacks. Nothing wrong with the discs, but I bought it based upon the -2 rating. Mine might be -0.5. So, mine is basically a Thunderbird. Love the Jackalope, and if there's ever a known understable run or plastic in the Diamondback, I will revisit.

That's where I'm seeing a trend with Mint. Many of the discs reportedly fly more stable than the flight numbers would indicate. In my experience: the Goat, Alpha, and Grackle all fly more stable than advertised. The jackalope and freetail are much closer to their base ratings.

I find the bullet to be a great neutral putter. It has maybe a tick less glide than a pure but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Just incredibly straight, even out to edge of c2 just like the pure. The glow bullet train is also a super straight thrower. I think I could easily use them interchangeably so I'll just have to get a feel for which I prefer. The medium royal plastic is nice, but I really like retro burst. It's really splitting hairs for me at this point.

Are the Apex Bullets going to be available to all venders or just on the Mint site?

 

[Serious-OLD]

MSt has 'em. It looks like the signature apex bullets are broadly available.

has that been confirmed or just speculating? I personally haven't seen or held a praxis, and I know that just having different flight numbers doesn't mean anything...it wouldn't surprise me but haven't seen that correlation confirmed yet.

side note: the bullet apex art reminds me of the Chain Devil from Chainsaw Man intro

Patrick Brown Glow Mustang is money. Flatter, more stable than other runs. It's a winner.

Yep, down to the microbead and mold marks on the rim.

I have both, throw both, and both land within 5 feet of each other in practice repetitions.

Weird about the flipped speed and glide flight number differences though.

I can't find my calipers or silly putty, so its a bad day for science, but I'll double check the rim width when I find them.

i have a freetail in alpha that ive only had for about a month and about 5-7 rounds. do they beat pretty quick ? seems like its getting flippy quickly which i didnt really expect it due to the plastic.

should have said apex not alpha. anyway, its my favorite disc now, apex over sublime and eternal

How exactly does one get a gummy Bobcat that isn't a Sublime FR? This has been a hunt that has gone on for far too long. I have a Sublime FR, it's perfect, but its ****ing forest green, as if the color they put on it was a prank. It would be lost immediately. I dig my Taco Cat and 2nd run Bobcats, but they are still a little too stiff for me, especially in winter. WHEN SUBLIME FLX?

New Longhorns are going to be released next week, 5/23!

Looks like Apex swirl and Nocturnal from the posts on instagram. Now I'm not sure if I should grab a few and hope that I can get replacements in the future, or just stick with the Grace since it's easier to acquire but more expensive.

Pretty new to Mint but I'm loving the sublime grackle. I saw that they ran nocturnal grackles for a bit. Anyone know if they're reliably more stable or hit and miss?

they're about as overstable as a grackle gets. I threw a 168 sublime that was pretty flat and the most overstable of the group of sublimes that I tried. The Nocturnal is right on par with those, but in heavier weights. The 170+ sublimes had more dome and actually came out a bit less overstable than either nocturnal or sub-170 sublime

Reliably more stable. I'd compare the Sublime Grackle to a longer Mustang and the Glow Grackle to a longer Bobcat.

Ordered apex and nocturnal longhorns last night. I hope they fit perfectly next to my eternal that I've been working with for a bit now. And hopefully they will be more commonly available this time around!

tried the swirly apex out today. alot like a wraith, had some really good drives but nothing overly special, except mvp plastic.

I think its a straighter than a wraith, which i bag a GG 21 pop top wraith, maybe not as much glide as the GG but not as much fade either.

The nocturnal longhorn is flatter than both the eternal and apex that I have. Decent bit more stable. If a new apex is a -1/2.5, the nocturnal is definitely 0/2.5.

All of the plastic looks and feels great. The biggest problem is that they can't keep them in stock...

Sounds awesome. I should get my hands on one Tuesday. I'm stoked.
