Bobcat | Mint Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The **Bobcat** by Mint Discs serves as an overstable midrange for controlled throws in windy conditions and precise fade lines. With a speed of 5 and fade of 2.5, it fits between a reliable workhorse and a utility disc—overstable enough for dependable landings without becoming a brick. The beadless design and flat top ensure a clean release, while the three main plastics (Eternal, Sublime, and Apex) offer varying degrees of stability. It’s especially suited for approach shots under 100 meters and fairway throws with guaranteed fade when trees or obstacles demand an exact flight path. In flight, the **Bobcat** shows a straight initial phase with minimal turn before the strong fade kicks in. The combination of glide 4 and turn 0 keeps the disc on its intended line longer than pure utility discs, while the 2.5 fade reliably pulls left. In headwinds, it stays stable without unpredictable turn, making it a safe choice for tricky positions. Sublime plastic delivers slightly more overstability than the manufacturer’s ratings suggest—the fade feels closer to 3 than 2.5. Hyzer throws amplify the fade effect for aggressive skip landings, while light anhyzer allows for a flatter S-curve with a dependable finish. For intermediate players, the **Bobcat** works as a versatile tool that forgives mistakes while still allowing precise lines. Advanced throwers appreciate its predictability at higher speeds and use it for tunnel shots with defined outcomes. Beginners may find it more overstable than expected—this disc demands clean technique and sufficient arm speed for full flight. Positioned as an alternative to classic overstable mids like the **Verdict** or **Justice**, the **Bobcat** strikes a balance: controllable without extreme stability, powerful without sacrificing glide.
