The Mint Discs Profit is a 2-speed slightly overstable putt & approach. With published flight numbers of 2 / 3 / 0 / 2, it is most often described as suited for forehand approach shots with the basket in sight, driving putts off the tee on short holes.

Overview

The Mint Discs Profit is a flat-top, beaded putt and approach disc rated 2/3/0/2 by Mint.[2] Mint calls it “our third disc, and first putt & approach disc” and pitches it two ways — as a slightly overstable putter, or “as an easy to range driving disc.”[2] The flat profile is the design point: “The flat top profile helps for a clean and consistent release on any shot.”[2] The bead sits on the underside of the rim, where Mint says it “fits perfectly in the crease of your finger and this helps the disc fit snug in your grip.”[2] The PDGA measured it at 21.1cm across, 1.9cm tall, with a deep 1.6cm rim and a 175.1g maximum.[1]

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.

Mint aims the Profit squarely at the forehand approach: “Forehand dominate players will love this as your go-to approach with the basket in sight. Just give it a pop and let it find the chains.”[2] The flat top and modest fade also make it a workable driving putter.[2] Mint expects it to improve with wear, arguing that the bead’s “real intention is to help it maintain that stability over a longer life span” and that “a well seasoned Profit is MONEY IN THE BANK!”[2] Players wanting a straighter, beadless putter should look elsewhere.[5]

Best for:

  • Forehand approach shots with the basket in sight
  • Driving putts off the tee on short holes
  • Putts that need a touch of fade into a headwind
  • A beaded, flat-top alternative to a deeper putter

Plastics & variants

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

Royal, Sublime

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 Profit was PDGA-approved on 23 May 2019 under certification 19-44, but Mint held the retail launch for four months — its announcement post, written by Mint co-founder Zachery Jansen, gives a “Release Date Sept 24 @ 7pm cst.”[1][2] The PDGA’s manufacturer record confirms the ordinal Mint claims for it: Alpha on 28 January 2017, Bobcat on 31 January 2019, then Profit — Mint’s third approved mold and its first putt and approach disc.[4][2] The launch debuted three stamps. Cliff Franks drew the Coin stamp and the Piggy Bank icon used on the Royal stock stamp, while Ben Hopwood’s “Money Bags” design ran once only, 500 copies with three foils.[2] Both are stamp artists; Mint has never credited a mold designer. Mint tracks production through serial numbers rather than announcements, and the disc currently in the store carries “Serial # RO-PR03-25,” marking the third Royal run and placing it in 2025.[3] Mint also sells the Profit by exact gram rather than in weight brackets, and as of 2026 every weight and colour of that run is sold out.[3] Flight numbers, unusually for a Mint mold, are uncontested — 2/3/0/2 appears on Mint’s own pages and on every retailer checked.[2][3][5]
