Idol | Mint Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Idol" from Mint Discs is a distance driver with a speed of 13, designed for powerful throws and challenging conditions. This overstable disc combines high speed with controlled fade, delivering maximum distance while maintaining reliability. It excels on open fairways and in sidewind situations where other high-speed drivers might become unpredictable. In flight, the disc initially maintains a nearly straight trajectory with minimal turn (-1), allowing for a slight rightward movement when thrown with sufficient arm speed—without losing control. Its glide of 5 keeps it airborne longer, noticeably extending distance. In the final phase of flight, the fade of 2.5 kicks in decisively, pulling the "Idol" reliably back to the left, which proves especially useful in headwinds or for skip landings. This stability prevents overturning even at maximum power. For backhand throws, it performs best for long hyzer lines or flat releases with a controlled finish. Forehand players benefit from its overstable nature for flex shots, where the disc starts right before snapping back forcefully. With a recommended skill level of 5, the "Idol" is tailored for experienced throwers who can consistently generate high speeds and utilize its stability strategically. For players with lower arm speed, it remains too overstable and shortens flight distance.
