Kastaplast
SKU: DG-KP-K1-KRUT (REF1824-2)
Description
The Kastaplast K1 Krut distance driver is a powerful driver with consistent results in all conditions, molded in K1 plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on powerful, consistent drives. Kastaplast is a Swedish disc golf company, and many of its molds carry Swedish names.
K1 Plastic
K1 is Kastaplast's super durable plastic, with a nice combination of firmness and gumminess. K1 discs come in both solid and translucent colors.
The Mold
The Krut gives experienced players consistent results in all conditions. Kastaplast says it comes slightly understable with a beautiful fade.
Stability
The Krut is stable-to-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 for intermediate to advanced players with good arm speed.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 12 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 4 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
