The Mint Discs Alpha in Sublime plastic is a Tour Edition release for Mason Ford, and it is Mint's do-it-all stable fairway driver in a grippy, metallic-swirl blend.

Flight Numbers: 8 / 4 / 0 / 2

Sublime feels close to MVP's Plasma plastic in the hand: grippy, glossy, and firm enough that it holds its stability before it starts to loosen up. Mint publishes the stability rating for every run and color on its own site, a detail I check before picking a specific one, since early Sublime runs can turn over a bit more in wind past 320 feet.

The big dome adds stability and helps it cut a straight line into the wind, closing with a dependable fade rather than a hard dump. Backhand throws feel great off the rim; some forehand throwers notice the dome more than others but it does not slow the disc down.

Built for intermediate to advanced players who want one fairway driver to replace a Teebird, CD2, and PD combination. This particular run also carries Mint's Tour Edition stamp for Mason Ford.
