Mint Discs Apex Phoenix

Mint Discs Apex Phoenix 9 | 3 | 0 | 4

Mint has finally given us what we've all been waiting for, an overstable nine speed fairway driver! For forehands and backhands alike, players will love it for that "Fiery Bird" slot. The Mint Discs Apex Phoenix is a very overstable fairway driver in Mint's grippy Apex and Apex Swirl plastic. See every Phoenix we stock in the Mint Discs Phoenix Collection Hub or shop our full fairway driver collection.

Flight Numbers

The Phoenix is more stable than a typical Firebird and has a touch less glide, meaning you can really rely on it in windy conditions and consistently drop it in on target without worrying about it sailing long. On hyzers it will spike in and dig, when thrown flat it will give a healthy flare skip, and on anhyzer a Phoenix will fade back out to finish on hyzer. The Phoenix flies 9 | 3 | 0 | 4, and it's Mint's most overstable disc. It's 21.2 cm across and 1.7 cm tall with a 1.2 cm rim depth and a 2.0 cm rim, and it was PDGA approved on April 25, 2022.

The Apex Phoenix delivers:

• Wind Fighter: Low glide and a hard fade keep it on line in headwinds.
• Forehand Power: Resists torque on full power sidearm throws.
• Predictable Landing: It drops in on target without sailing long.
• Apex Grip: Grippy premium plastic that feels great on forehands and backhands.

It excels at:

• Headwind drives
• Spike hyzers that need to stop quick
• Flat flare skips
• Forehand approaches and drives

The Apex Plastic Advantage

Apex is Mint's grip-focused premium plastic. It's opaque with a little flex, it holds up well to tree hits and it has a touch more glide than Eternal, which helps it carry forward. Apex Swirl is the same plastic with a swirled color pattern, so no two discs look alike. This page also has a couple of Apex Swirl discs with an Alan Janzen stamp.

How the Phoenix Fits in the Mint Discs Lineup

• Vs the Eternal Phoenix: Same mold and flight numbers. Firm, translucent Eternal plastic that keeps its stability the longest.
• Vs the Mint Discs Jackalope: The Jackalope (8 | 5 | -2 | 1) is the easy, understable fairway driver in Mint's lineup. It's the opposite of the Phoenix, perfect for turnovers and players with less power.
• Vs the Mint Discs Goat: The Goat (12 | 4 | -1 | 3) is a faster, overstable distance driver. Grab the Goat when you need distance and the Phoenix when you need a controlled, beefy fairway shot.
• Vs the Innova Firebird: The Firebird (9 | 3 | 0 | 4) has the same numbers on paper. The Phoenix flies a little more stable with a touch less glide, and a lot of players like how it feels in the hand.
