Mint Discs Apex Goat 12 | 4 | -1 | 3
The Mint Discs Apex Goat is a high-speed overstable distance driver designed to give big arms maximum distance with dependable control. If you love the wind-fighting stability of the Goat mold but want a fraction more high-speed turn and a tackier hand feel out of the box, Apex plastic is the ultimate choice. Manufactured by MVP Disc Sports, Apex plastic is Mint’s version of the iconic MVP Neutron blend—offering a durable, opaque, swirled aesthetic with exceptional grip. On the course, the Swirly Apex Goat pushes deep down the fairway with a touch more workable glide before settling into its reliable low-speed fade.

Flight Numbers
The Apex Goat provides the perfect balance of distance-maximizing tracking and overstable security. Operating at a 12 speed, it requires clean throwing velocity to perform at its best. The 4 glide gives it a controlled, predictable flight path, while the -1 turn allows the disc to flex out subtly under power for extra distance down the fairway. Its 3 fade provides a hard, dependable finish that checks up cleanly on the grass.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 4 | -1 | 3 |
The Apex Goat delivers:
- All-Weather Tacky Traction: A velvety, opaque plastic feel that yields slightly to thumb pressure, giving you total release confidence in cold, wet, or humid conditions.
- Workable High-Speed Flex: Offers a bit more natural high-speed turn out of the box than stiffer plastic blends, helping you shape long flex-distance lines.
- Consistent Forehand Release: A comfortable wide rim profile that resists off-axis sidearm torque without catching on your fingers.
It excels at:
- Full-power backhand distance drives down open fairways.
- Sweeping flex shots that track gently right before fighting back flat to a reliable finish.
- Long forehand drives where you need high-speed stability and a dependable ground skip.
The Apex Plastic Advantage
Apex is Mint’s premier swirled opaque plastic blend, manufactured by MVP using their renowned Neutron polymer compound. It combines top-tier durability with an enhanced tactile feel, making it one of the most comfortable premium plastics in the sport. The plastic absorbs direct tree impacts and ground scuffs effortlessly, maintaining its flight characteristics over seasons of play. Apex runs naturally cool down with a fraction more flexibility than glassy blends, which gives the disc a touch more high-speed glide and a slightly less aggressive early dumping motion.
How the Apex Goat Compares Across Blends
- Vs the Mint Discs Eternal Goat: Eternal plastic is a clear, Proton-style blend that cools down stiffer and stands as the most overstable run in the Goat family. This Apex Goat offers a tackier grip, swirled visual patterns, and a slightly more workable, distance-friendly flight path.
- Vs Standard 12-Speed Distance Drivers: Compared to purely neutral distance drivers, the Apex Goat maintains superior torque resistance, preventing unwanted turn-overs while providing a more approachable flight path than ultra-stiff meathooks.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Apex Goat
How does Apex plastic feel compared to Eternal plastic?
Apex plastic is opaque, swirled, and slightly softer in the hand compared to the stiff, glassy finish of translucent Eternal plastic. It provides a tackier grip in wet or cold weather and naturally yields a fraction more thumb traction during power throws.
Is the Apex Goat good for sidearm/forehand throwers?
Yes. The wide 12-speed rim and torque-resistant mold profile make it a go-to choice for sidearm players. You can power into it on a flat or slight hyzer angle without worrying about it flipping over under high off-axis torque.
Will the Apex Goat beat in faster than an Eternal Goat?
While both are extremely durable premium plastics molded by MVP, Apex plastic will break in slightly faster than Eternal plastic. As it seasons, it develops an incredible, smooth S-curve flight path while maintaining its strong low-speed fade.
