The Mint Discs Mustang is a 5-speed stable midrange. With published flight numbers of 5 / 5 / 0 / 1, it is most often described as suited for straight tunnel shots through tight gaps, controlled approaches inside 250 feet.

Overview

The Mint Discs Mustang is a beadless, low-profile midrange built as the straight-flying counterpart to Mint’s overstable Bobcat. Mint’s own copy describes “a straight flight mid-range that compliments the overstable Bobcat,” with “that classic go-to mid shape, with a beadless rim, concave wing and rounded shoulder.”[2] The PDGA measured it at 21.5cm across with a notably low 1.6cm height, a 1.3cm rim depth and a 178.5g maximum.[1] Its flight rating is contested even within Mint’s own store: the current Eternal listing prints 5/5/0/1, while the Vault Collection listing for the same mold prints 5/4/0/2 beneath identical marketing text.[2][3]

Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.

The Mustang is a point-and-shoot midrange. Mint’s instruction is simply to “pick a line and let the Mustang run free towards the basket.”[2] The low profile and beadless, concave wing suit straight tunnel shots, controlled approaches and hyzer-flip lines that finish flat.[2] Marshall Street files it as a “Beadless Control Mid-Range.”[4] Mint positions it explicitly as the neutral partner to the overstable Bobcat, so it complements a stable midrange rather than replacing one.[2]

Best for:

  • Straight tunnel shots through tight gaps
  • Controlled approaches inside 250 feet
  • Hyzer-flip lines that finish flat
  • A neutral partner to an overstable midrange

Plastics & variants

The Mustang is available in the following plastic blends from Mint Discs:[2]

Royal, Sublime, Eternal

Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.

History

The Mustang was PDGA-approved on 26 March 2020 under certification 20-30, on the same day as Mint’s Bullet.[1] Mint published no launch blog post, so 2020 is an approval year; the first production run is documented instead by Mint’s serial convention, SB-MT01-20, which decodes as Sublime plastic, Mustang mold, run 01, 2020. Marshall Street’s listing from that autumn calls it the “Newest addition to the Mid-Range Mint Discs family.”[4] Retailers split along the same lines as Mint’s own pages: Marshall Street prints 5/5/0/2, while Foundation Disc Golf prints 5/4/0/2 and compares the mold to “a less stable Discraft Buzzz.”[4][5] Mint sells by exact gram rather than weight brackets, which is unusual among manufacturers, and publishes no stated weight range — the figure above is derived from observed listings.[2] Mint credits Cliff Franks for the icon art but names no mold designer.[2] The Mustang predates the Taco, which Mint calls its first beaded midrange, and is itself explicitly beadless.[2] As of August 2026 Mint’s Eternal listing shows the mold sold out, and Mint has published no retirement notice.[2]
