    [Drivers] MINT Discs - Longhorn

    Yeah sorry about that. We made some changes on the backend with the way accounts were working(launched a wholesale portal) and it's affected some existing retail customers. So far the best way to fix it and retain the customer info is to just send that reset email. Shoot me an email if you have...

    We'll have more Freetails out after the Longhorn(very soon). Covid put us behind by 6+ months unfortunately. The Alpha model is undergoing some repairs, so it'll have to wait until 2021 to be produced again at the earliest.

    [Putters] MINT Discs - Profit

    I usually won't reference other companies discs but it definitely helps with putters. We've put it in the hands of a few Judge people around here and they all seem to agree in terms of how it flies(not the shape). It'll be a nice putter if you like the PA3, Ridge, Rhyno(without a track) or P3x...

    [Other] Mint Discs

    We've been pretty focused on local Austin events and stuff. There is more in the pipeline but it's not really worth talking about or hyping until its ready. We've also only been around for a little over a year and a half. I know its cliche but it takes time :)

    [Other] Alpha - Power Fairway

    Yeah the Yellow/Pink/Orange Eternal from the 1st Run are definitely the flight we had seen in the test runs before production. We want that flight when possible. And not to hype it up too much...but the Glow I've been testing is just a tick more stable than those first run Eternal Oranges and...

    Speaking for Mint only here but consistency boils down to how neutral it is designed to fly. 0 turn / 2 fade is the design middle point of stability for any manufacturer. It's not 0/0 since those tend to be understable. So based on how its shot, it can lean one way or the other when its 0/2...

    [Other] Alpha - Power Fairway

    I posted this on our MINT Facebook Fan Page yesterday. To go into more detail, it just flat out sold significantly better than expected. There have been some production delays as well but normally the customer never hears about that stuff. It is just part of the game any company plays. If we...

    [Question] Most Consistent Production

    From what I know being in the on the sales/production side of the biz for the last 8 years... The longer the wing(or faster the disc), and more neutral the design, the more variance you will have. Neutral being that -2 to 2 range for fade & turn. When you try to ride that line you leave the...

    How pros get/choose discs?

    A lot of the discs that are stamped with art intended for other discs are usually print set up discs. Now in Paul's case he's been known to throw stuff like this, but I know in my stamping days at Disc Nation it was usually a result of set-up printing on whatever I had laying around.

    [Putters] Innova yeti pro Aviar

    This is pretty much exactly what Yeti wanted when Innova made this for him. His favorite KC's were the beat up ones and wanted something concave out of the box. Some of the new runs aren't as poppy concave with more of a yeti firmness & jk grip blend of plastic. From my talks with Jay its more...

    [Putters] Infinite Discs MYTH Putter

    A P2 used to be called a beadless KC Aviar. This doesn't look like a KC Aviar. Looks like a KC Whale. Might make sense why Innova put some up on the store recently.

    Ridiculous Photog @ GBO

    Yeah she also is in a relationship with Nate Perkins and tours with most of these people. I think most of them are plenty comfortable with her taking the pictures. They understand its her passion/job just as much as throwing the disc is theirs.

    [Other] Alpha - Power Fairway

    Glad both will find a spot in the bag. The good and bad thing about being a new company with our small runs is the variance in stability for drivers at this stability. This was a big reason behind the serial # so you can look it up in in a few years. We aim to be more consistent but love to...

    [Millennium] MS Aurora Love?

    Sweet! Almost asked Dylan the other day what mold this was. I guess I should have. Its been on my try out list since I pretty much only throw the QMS, Alpha, and Scorpius.

    Adidas sponsors Paul McBeth

    So the cost of a disc golf mold? Its not outside the realm of current costs. Vibram probably had a pretty good idea of how to keep that cost down too or re-use another sole design.
