The Mint Discs Salamander is an understable fairway driver with a lot of air under it. Six glide with two of turn means it flips up and rides — this one wants to float, not fight.
That makes it a hyzer-flip and turnover disc. Released on a hyzer it stands up, drifts right, and glides a long way before one of fade brings it gently back. Lower arm speeds get a straight, long flight from a disc that needs very little power to show its whole shape. Mint describes it as a longer Lobster, and the rim is narrower than most six-speeds, which suits smaller hands. It is the slowest driver Mint has made.
Power players will turn it over on a flat release, and in a headwind two of turn keeps going right. If you need a fairway that holds a line, this is not it.
How much the Salamander turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
