Mint Discs Eternal Salamander 6 | 6 | -2 | 1
If you are looking for the most durable and stable variant of Mint’s newest understable fairway driver, the Mint Discs Eternal Salamander is exactly what you need. Taking its place as the workhorse of the Mint Discs Salamander Collection, this highly glidey 6-speed is designed for effortless distance and controlled shot shaping. Dubbed the "longer Lobster," the Salamander features a comfortable, thin rim that is perfect for backhand precision, while the premium translucent Eternal plastic ensures it can withstand heavy tree hits without losing its dependable flight characteristics.
Flight Numbers
Sporting a speed of 6 and a massive glide rating of 6, the Salamander is built to stay suspended in the air. The -2 turn allows it to flip up smoothly from a hyzer or ride a panning anhyzer line, while the gentle 1 fade brings it to a soft, predictable landing. It should be noted that the stiff, translucent nature of Eternal plastic generally makes this specific run slightly more stable out of the box compared to other blends.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | -2 | 1 |
The Eternal Salamander delivers:
- The "Longer Lobster": Faster and longer-flying than their wildly popular understable midrange, giving you that same dependable turn with extra distance.
- Maximum Glide: Fights to stay airborne with minimal effort, offering massive value for tight woods lines or open tailwind shots.
- Player Utility: For beginners and slower arm speeds, it flies dead straight to gently turning. For power players, it serves as a highly reliable, touchy hyzer-flip or a controlled turnover disc.
- Ergonomic Profile: Built with a thin, comfortable rim, it sits perfectly in smaller hands or for players who prefer a clean, easy release.
Eternal Plastic
Manufactured by MVP, Mint's Eternal plastic is a highly durable, translucent blend that is extremely similar to MVP's famous Proton plastic. It is the most resilient of Mint's core premium plastics, giving it a very rigid release off the fingers. Because it is so tough, an Eternal Salamander will hold its original flight characteristics for a very long time, absorbing hard ground impacts and tree kicks without warping or beating in too quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Eternal plastic compare to MVP Proton?
Because Mint Discs are manufactured by MVP, Eternal plastic is extremely similar—if not identical—to Proton plastic. It offers the same candy-clear, translucent aesthetic and the same ultra-durable, stiff flight plate.
Is the Eternal Salamander more overstable?
Yes. As is common with stiff, translucent plastics across the industry, the Eternal Salamander typically molds up slightly more stable than the opaque Apex or Sublime runs. It will still exhibit an understable flight, but it may require slightly more arm speed to access its full -2 turn.
Is the Salamander good for beginners?
Absolutely. The 6-speed rim is very easy to grip, and the -2 turn combined with a massive 6 glide allows newer players to achieve incredibly straight, easy distance without needing a powerful arm.
