Proximity Mine Factory 2nd Prototype (Warped)
Want to try a new mold? Well now you can… in a slightly deformed way. These Proximity Mines are factory second prototypes. We liked the mold, but not the way they warped when cooling. These are a super cheap way to investigate a new mold that will debut in 2024. Some are bottom-stamped and some are top-stamped with the Team Doomsday logo.
The Proximity Mine is in the Land Mine / Depth Charge family. It has a raised thumb track around the top rim, and the rim shape slopes inward at a slight angle (instead of being perfectly square).
$6.50
This disc is an acquired taste; you will either love the feel or hate it. Personally, I love it for it's deep rim, thumb track, and dependable flight. And you can't beat the price.
The Prox Mine has great glide with a reliable flight. It will hold the angle you put it on. It's great for approaches and/or putting. The warped flight plate on these factory 2nd's doesn't affect the flight from what I can tell. For the price, snag one and try it yourself!
I love this disc, the plastic is not my favorite so I need to try it in the clandestine, but as far as functionality it is great.
Being a lid fan bagging Polecats, Birdies, Dillos, and of course the Landmine and Depth Charge this is the disc I am bagging. Mine is a bit puddle topped and is just STRAIGHT. I am very surprised the Proximity Mine was not rated a one speed I think it is easier to throw than a one speed Polecat. It feels skinny in the hand but once you get over that you will be reaching for the Proximity Mine for all those putts and approach shots you don't trust your putters with reaching chains.
The proximity mine proto is a tad less stable than its clandestine counterpart. Still, it has reliable stability with just enough fade to make it a go-to and consistent approach disc. The difference in plastic offers excellent grip in all conditions. You’ll never doubt what this disc will do. Think of it as a depth charge or landmine in a standard package. The thumb track offers excellent grip and consistent release.
