The Idol was PDGA approved in July 2025. It is a a stable-overstable 13-speed driver with a workable slight turn and a strong fade. In Mint’s own words, the Idol is “Flat, Fast, and Fierce” – designed to handle power (“torque-resistant”) yet carry great distance. Interestingly, Mint partnered with Prodigy Disc to manufacture the Idol. This collaboration is new for Mint as their earlier molds were made by MVP. The Idol, molded in Prodigy’s plastic in Georgia, appears to share some DNA with the Prodigy Falcor. So you can think of the Idol as a close cousin of the Falcor – a long-distance driver that top pros like to crush. Early reviewers (mainly Team Mint players) who tested the Idol at the Texas “Sizzler” event reported it has “clean lines, buttery glide” and a comfortable grip. The flat top was emphasized, aiding both backhand and forehand throws.

The Mint Discs Idol has only 2 reviews so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

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.
