by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-ZL-PMKRA (REF1937-9)
Description
The Discraft Z Line Kratos putter is Paul McBeth's overstable, beaded putt and approach disc, molded in Z Line plastic. It's built for players who need control on approaches and off the tee, and it's at its best on approaches, short drives, and windy putts. This listing is the Paul McBeth release of the Kratos. Paul McBeth is a 6x PDGA World Champion.
Z Plastic
Z is Discraft's flagship hard, translucent, and glossy plastic. It offers maximum durability, resists wear and tear, and holds its original flight stability for years. Discraft's recent Z refresh gives it an enhanced look and feel while keeping the same trusted flight, so your Kratos will fly the same way for a long time.
The Mold
The Kratos is the 7th disc in Paul McBeth's lineup. Slightly shallower than the Luna with a distinctive bead on the rim, it brings enhanced control to your short game, approach shots, and throwing off the tee.
Stability
The Kratos is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
