The Mint Discs Lobster in Eternal plastic is an understable midrange that turns like it wants to help you, not fight you. Mint built the Lobster with a rounded, MVP style nose instead of the usual squared off midrange front, and Eternal is their clear, glossy base blend.

Flight Numbers: 5 / 5 / -3 / 1

Eternal is translucent and a little firmer out of the box than Mint's premium Apex blend, with a slicker top that grips fine once your hand warms it up. It beats in fast, so the flippy turn you feel in the first few rounds settles into something more controllable within a couple months. I have thrown Eternal Lobsters next to Nocturnal versions of the same mold and they fly almost the same, so if you want this exact flight in a different look, either plastic gets you there.

Thrown flat this midrange holds a long, gentle S curve and rarely fights back with fade. Give it a hyzer and it flips up to flat, then rides out dead straight, which is the shot most people buy a Lobster for. Slower arms get an easy 250 to 280 feet out of it without ever fighting the disc to get there. Bigger arms use it for hyzer flip turnovers and rollers when the fairway calls for it.

New to midranges and tired of overstable discs turning into a fight? This is the one to start with. Want the same shape with a grippier, softer feel? The Apex Lobster is Mint's premium version of this exact mold. Want a little less turn and a touch more glide instead? The Sublime Lobster holds a smoother line.
