About the Lobster

Lobster: Mint’s understable mid-range driver

The Mint Discs Lobster is an under-stable midrange driver. It’s new disc for 2022 (dropping July 6th, 2022). As the discs says, it is a finesse midrange. With a speed of 5 and a turn of -3, this makes for a shot shaping disc when you need a little creativity to get down the fairway! At the end of the video below you can see this disc flip pretty aggressively and it holds the line. This will make a great hyzer flip disc. For beginners, this is a sneaky good play to extend the distance of your drives.

How much the Lobster turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
