Mint Apex Grackle

The Mint Apex Grackle is a slightly stable fairway driver that complements the Alpha as a slightly slower and less stable version. It seasons well and turns into a great hyzer flip option over time. Flight numbers: 7 | 5 | -1 | 2

This disc responds well to both backhand and forehand throws. Mint says they find it flies a bit straighter on a flat forehand than it does on a backhand.

Flight Characteristics

The Grackle offers a slightly stable flight that will gradually season into a reliable hyzer flip disc. It holds lines well on both backhand and forehand.

• Speed: 7 | Glide: 5 | Turn: -1 | Fade: 2
• Backhand Throws: When thrown cleanly, it features a slight, workable turn before pushing forward on a laser-straight line, finishing with a smooth and dependable fade. As the disc gets beaten in, it transitions smoothly into an effortless hyzer-flip or turnover machine.
• Forehand Throws: Most players find that it flies remarkably straight and clean on a flat flick/sidearm release without turning over too easily.
• Wind Resistance: It handles mild headwinds well for a neutral fairway driver, though heavy winds may cause it to turn a little more 
• Comparable To: The Grackle compares closely to a seasoned Innova Teebird or a neutral control driver, making it a reliable workhorse for tight, wooded fairways or controlled placement shots.

Who Is This Disc For?

• Beginner / Amateur — A predictable fairway driver that probably won't turn for lower power throws, but should have a reliable line with a consistent fade
• Intermediate / Advanced — A seasoning disc that becomes a go-to hyzer flip and straight-flight workhorse over time
• Forehand Throwers — Flies remarkably straight and clean on a flat flick/sidearm release without turning over too easily
