Mustang

The Mint Discs Mustang is a straight-to-stable beadless midrange rated 5/4/0/2. Mint describes it as having “that classic go-to mid shape” and pitches it for picking a line and letting it run. It was PDGA approved in March 2020.

Zero turn means it doesn’t flip when thrown flat, and 2 fade is a short, predictable finish rather than a hook. Four glide is moderate: enough to carry a controlled approach, not enough to float past the target. Crowd readings run a little softer than the label. Infinite’s reviewer averages across 19 reviews come back at 5/5/-0.2/1.6, with more glide, a trace of turn and less fade, and OTB and Infinite both list the glide as 5 against Mint’s 4. For a newer player that means a straight line with a gentle finish. A stronger arm may see a hint of turn before it comes back, and that grows as the disc wears in.

On paper it is a step more stable than the Discraft Buzzz (5/4/-1/1); the reviewer averages put it closer to one. In Mint’s own line it is the straight option: the Bobcat and Rodeo finish harder, the Lobster turns over, and the beaded Taco is its closest relative. The beadless rim and modest fade mean it isn’t the mid for strong headwinds or hard hyzers.

Mint hasn’t published an explanation of the name. The more useful story is where the flight came from. Writing on Mint’s blog in January 2025, Zachery Jansen named the Mustang his favorite Mint disc and “a modern homage” to the original CE QMS from Millennium, his favorite midrange before Mint existed. He wrote that the Bobcat was Mint’s first attempt at that flight and came out far more overstable, and that Mint gave the factory feedback and reference molds before the Mustang arrived.

The Mustang has been made in several of Mint’s blends, including Apex, Royal, Eternal, Sublime and Nocturnal. OTB describes Royal as grippy and suited to cycling, where a player keeps throwing a disc as it wears and flies less stable.
