The Freetail is an understable Mint Discs distance driver rated 10/5/-4/1. With a lot of high-speed turn and very little fade, Mint calls it a disc to control rather than overpower, says an easy flat release brings out its turnover, and suggests stronger players add hyzer for a long flip to straight. Big arms who want a driver that holds a line or finishes left should pick something more stable. Mint presents it as the touch-and-finesse counterpart to its first driver, the Alpha, which is built to be thrown hard. A turn of -4 is a lot for a speed-10 driver, so it suits anhyzer lines, turnover drives and newer players chasing distance. The PDGA approved the Freetail on 16 September 2019 (19-63). It was Mint's second driver, and Mint named it after the Mexican free-tailed bat, a native of its home city of Austin, Texas. Recent runs from late 2025 and early 2026 are sold out on Mint's store as of October 2026. Try Discs lists it in Apex, Eternal and Sublime. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Innova Monarch and the Discmania TD2.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
