Doomsday Discs Proximity Mine
The Doomsday Discs Proximity Mine is a boxy, thumb-track putt-and-approach disc from the Land Mine family, built for accurate throws that finish on command. A slightly angled, more overstable rim shape adds reliable fade while keeping the slow-speed control that makes tight landing zones and head-high gaps feel simple.
From a slight hyzer, it pops to flat and holds before a forward-pushing finish. For touch forehands, the blunt edge and thumb track give a secure grip and clean release. Compared to the Land Mine, expect a touch more bite at the end—great for “point, push, and park it” approaches.
Why throw the Proximity Mine?
-
Line control at low speed: shape short approaches that sit near the pin.
-
Dependable finish: more fade than Land Mine without jumping to Zone-level overstability.
-
Thumb-track confidence: secure feel for backhand or touch forehand releases.
-
Woods-golf friendly: low-glide style that resists long sail-by misses.
Plastics
Clandestine (premium): durable, grippy blend ideal for tee/approach wear. Survival (baseline): flexible and tacky for all-weather grab and predictable season-in. (Select runs may appear in other house blends.)

FAQs
What are the Proximity Mine flight numbers and how does it fly?
2 | 3 | 0 | 1.5 = true putter speed, modest glide for distance control, neutral high-speed stability, and a mild-to-moderate fade. Expect straight carries from flat or slight hyzer that finish on target, plus gentle, forward-pushing hyzers that land without big skips.
How does it compare to the Land Mine?
Both are boxy approach discs, but the Proximity Mine adds a thumb track and a subtly angled, more overstable rim. On course, it holds lines similarly at low speed but shows a touch more bite at the end—handy when you want the disc to check up near the pin instead of drifting past.
Which plastic and weight should I choose?
Clandestine brings premium durability and a consistent finish—great if you drive or forehand this mold. Survival is flexible and grippy with excellent touch on short upshots. Heavier builds (170–176 g) are steadier in breeze and fade a hair later; lighter options add a hint of pop-up and carry for softer arms.
Is it PDGA approved and competition legal?
Yes. The Proximity Mine was PDGA-approved on October 23, 2023. Key specs include a 22.0 cm diameter and 2.0 cm height, with a max legal weight of 182.6 g—fully legal across all sanctioned divisions.
Is the Doomsday Discs Proximity Mine forehand friendly?
For touch flicks, yes. The thumb track and blunt leading edge offer a planted grip and clean release. Keep the nose down and use smooth acceleration—the Proximity Mine rewards angle control more than raw power. For heavy headwinds or high-torque forehands, pair it with a more overstable approach disc.
