The Mint Discs Idol is a very high-speed distance driver with good glide and strong fade. It produces a reliably overstable flight, making it a dependable choice in windy conditions and for shots that require a consistent finish.
Very high speed (13) requires elite arm speed — most players won't reach this disc's potential.
Release flat with power — the disc will resist turning over and finish reliably left (RHBH). Great for forehand drives.

A high-speed distance driver from Mint Discs designed specifically for players with elite arm speed. This 175-gram plastic offers a reliable flight path once you can get it up to speed, utilizing a slight hyzer turn that flattens out before the disc aggressively fades to the left. The Idol is known for its overstable nature, meaning it resists turnover and provides a solid landing angle even when thrown hard. It cuts through the air effectively, allowing for impressive skips on the ground during controlled distance shots. This driver excels for forehand throws into moderate headwinds or when you need a finish that fights back against the fade. While it might be too much plastic for beginners, this is an essential tool for advanced players looking for a disc that holds its line and finishes predictably on the left.
