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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGlide\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTurn\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eFade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apex Phoenix delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWind Fighter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low glide and a hard fade keep it on line in headwinds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForehand Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resists torque on full power sidearm throws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePredictable Landing:\u003c\/strong\u003e It drops in on target without sailing long.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApex Grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grippy premium plastic that feels great on forehands and backhands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt excels at:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadwind drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpike hyzers that need to stop quick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat flare skips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForehand approaches and drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Apex Plastic Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex is Mint's grip-focused premium plastic.
