    The Mantra by Thought Space Athletics will fly straight at a manageable speed for new players but will have a more understable flight for experience throwers. It can be used for precision drives or for anhyzer lines and power rollers. It's an all-purpose driver with great glide that feels and flies wonderfully.

    I have been playing two years and throw about 320ft or so.  This disc has been one of my favorites recently.  I can get a full flight out of it.  Thrown with slight hyzer will turn a bit with reliable fade at the end.  I can get some of my best distance from this disc.

    This has easily become my go-to disc for backhand drives. Easy distance, just the right amount of flip during the early-to-middle part of the flight, and the plastic feels great in all weathers. Grippy enough for the cold and rain, but not so sticky that it's unusable in hotter or more humid conditions. This disc can get farther than a lot of 10 or even 11 speeds when thrown properly.

    Slightly more overstable than expected but still a very straight flyer that goes very far when thrown as a hyzer flip. Currently my favorite disc and my go to fairway driver. I have another TSA disc in ethos plastic and whle both are quite firm I find that the ethereal plastic is a bit grippier and feels better in the hand.

    This might very well be my favorite disc that I bag. Please note the difference between favorite and most useful. I release in on a slight hyzer and let it flip up and glide for days. As someone who is still relatively new to the sport, I have really appreciated the effortless distance this disc provides. Combine that with the tack and durability of the ethereal plastic and it's a winner! I won't use this into a headwind, but love to use it whenever I can...

    I bought the Ethereal Mantra as a RHBH disc, and right out of the box, it had a great smooth feel in hand, and lots of forward progress with a slight turn and a gentle fade. My positive experience with the Mantra made me investigate other TSA molds and so happy I did! Highly recommended.

    This disc has become a reliable go-to in the bag. I currently bag two of these - one ethereal and one glow. For my medium arm speed, the ethereal is a very straight fairway flyer, while the lighter glow Mantra I can turn over if I need it to finish to the right. It's a very shapable disc, especially for its 9 speed. I would definitely recommend, though faster arms might find it a bit flippier in lighter weights.

    I would be lying if I didn't say that the Mantra was by far my favorite disc I threw when I tried the Thought Space lineup. I am quite the sucker for understable discs and this was like a dream for me. I throw around the 350 mark on a typical drive so I have some power but not like the distance throwers. Because of that I lean to a lot of understable discs that I can manipulate in all sorts of ways. I found the mantra to be nothing short of exactly what I look for when looking at understable fairways. I was able to hyzerflip the mantra on backhand for great straight distance. When thrown flat I got a nice turning anhyzer that never flipped over and burned, and on an anhyzer line I was getting the mantra to turn into a great roller. It's a disc I am able to adjust my armspeed with to get all sorts of shots on top of those and I found myself trying to use this disc more than any others. I found this disc to be a ton of fun to throw on sidearms with some touch. Because it is so stable you can put it on hyzer with some touch and get a nice hyzer flip through tight lines. This disc would be a must have for wooded courses. If you do not throw far or just like understable plastic like me, do youself a favor and check out the mantra.

    A go-to driver for me. Works great for those with lower arm speed who want to maximize distance. This thing glides for days and is especially good for hyzer flips.

    Flies super straight for me. Love the plastic and the metallicish plastic makes it easier to find I use this as my main driver currently. Not to great in strong winds the art is definitely a plus and the ethereal plastic takes dye very well for any dye daddies out there.

    I live and play at about 6k ft In altitude.

    I was looking for a slightly under stable fairway for a while now, and this fills the spot perfectly. Super sturdy plastic, super gorgeous too. 
    Requires a bit of finesse and angle control when releasing but for me I get a slight turn to a predictable soft fade at the end of flight. Easily goes 300-330 ft controlled with about 80% power. Pretty darn straight flight. As it beats in I'm sure it will get more flippy but for now it works perfect as a controlled shot. I've used it a handful of times and each time I've absolutely parked the pin. 
    Tons of glide and doesn't require a huge arm, hence why I only give this thing about 80% power at most. Better for accuracy.

    Beginner friendly for sure because of the stability and glide, yet very useful for advanced players like myself.

    169 Ethereal Mantra

    Definite 5 stars for me. This disc has been great and has allowed me to get C1 birdie looks at holes that were not possible before. Not because it is my longest disc, but rather because it works great for several very specific shots. It has become my longest uphill tee shot disc. I can throw it level, up the hill, and it holds a straight line while allowing the glide to add some extra distance. It is also my long, low ceiling, tunnel shot disc. The right hyzer flip and it is a laser beam with a very soft finish at the end. Sometimes it will produce a very tight S-curve that is perfect for a low tunnel shot.

    It has a little more stability than I anticipated, which has been perfect. It can handle a decent amount of power - as long as your form is good and the release is clean. Like most US discs, snap it wrong or turn your wrist a little and it will not work. With correct form you can add some nice spin to the disc and it will just stay in the air and go where you want it to. Feels great in the hand and definitely a trustworthy disc. I like the numbers as well. Not to mention, I love the Ethereal plastic.

    I have 2 Mantras, 1 each in Ethos & Ethereal plastic, both 174g. Both plastics feel really nice to me and have really good durability. The are very firm, so some people might not like that especially during cold weather rounds. Even though both plastics are kinda shiny and firm they still offer good grip. The Mantra has a fairly typical 9 speed rim- feels like it could even be in between a 9 and 10 speed as far as rim size. 

    The numbers are true in my opinion, 9/6/-2/1

    This disc has a ton of glide! It took me a little while to adjust to the glide and turn but now I love it. I use it a lot for RHBH shots that need to turn right and finish either straight or right. If I need some right turn with a low ceiling, that's where this disc excels. My max distance is about 375' so I don't throw huge bombers. I could see this disc being too touchy for those with big arms, but for me it's a perfect disc especially on courses where there are a lot of right turning holes.

    I got this disc in the ethos plastic. Similar to Champion from Innova. First off, its gorgeous. It has tiny metal flakes, a really cool blood orange color and even some smoky swirls. Amazing design on the disc and the stamp is super awesome with a skull design that is akin to late 80-90s skateboard art and the Goonies.

    I initially purchased this for an understable fairway speed driver. Mainly for turn-overshots. The more and more I use it, it surprises me with what I can do with it. It is great for tunnel shots, gaps. It finds a way through. It has great turn and will swing out early but will also come back at the end too. So you can really place your shots. I can easily throw a turnover shot 350 with this. It just goes and goes.

    I am excited to use this more. I purchased another one in a brighter color as well because those big turn-overs can make the disc go places you're not used to and my burgundy one was hard to find.

    I think this would be great for beginners as its understable and easy to get to fly but won't get away from you really even with power. It just starts changing the shots you can go with it. Its a disc you won't outgrow. I guess its good for rollers too, but I haven't tried those yet.

    I picked this disc up on a whim when shopping for a sidewinder and a jade. I was totally impressed the first time I threw it with the glide and the straightness of the disc. Even though I'm a noodle arm this thing flew across my yard cross the neighbor's yard and into a third neighbors yard with no effort. Highly understable if you throw too hard. However if you let the disc do the work you'll have perfect straight shots when you need them. And also the finish is pure. Perfect for beginners and slow arm speed folks like myself (Age 63). Fits perfectly in my bag between the highly understable Jade, and the stable Sidewinder.  I'm glad somebody thought of us noodle arms when designing this disc.  Thanks TSA for remembering us weekenders who  wanna do well on the course also . Happy camper here.

    First off, I'm a fan of TSA.  Dig their plastic and stamps!  I have the Mantra in the glow plastic.  It has the great feel and aesthetic that we all love from TSA.  It has a comfortable shape and feel.  Great disc for the hyzer flip, but when it comes out it continues to drift slowly to the right.  I have to throw it on a pretty sharp hyzer to keep it from fading out.  I'd call the turn 3, but other numbers seem on.  I don't have much of an arm, but it's still a very flippy disc.  It does glide for days, so I might bag it for some backhand turnovers.  Not sure if the glow run is just more understable.  This might be a perfect driver for a new player or someone who drives <250'.  Did I mention the killer 3 color stamp?

    This is my favorite controllable hyzer flip driver. The mantra is comfortable to throw and will reward you with easy distance if released smoothly and at the right hyzer angle. This disc allows me to send drives past 350' without having to focus too much on power thanks to it's high glide and easy to control speed (9). I would recommend this disc to any player who enjoys throwing understable discs. The art on these discs is amazing also! Thought Space is doing a great job with their molds and their stamps.

    This is the most beautiful disc in my bag from plastic to stamp. Kudos to TSA for awesome stamps that just look so cool. As far as flight goes, the absolute most understable disc in my bag. That being said, I have done some field work with it and at about 40% power, this thing will soar!! I still have to hyzer flip it to keep it in the air, but I think it has potential to be a high precision disc for intermediate to advanced players who can get it to speed with 40% power. Less power applied means, at least in my opinion, that you can be more precise with the disc. For beginners that don't have a lot of arm speed, I'm confident that this would be a great disc for getting into drivers.
