Kastaplast
SKU: DG-KP-K1S-SVEA (REF1838-4)
Description
The Kastaplast K1 Soft Svea midrange is an easy-to-use, glidey midrange, molded in K1 Soft plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on massive glide and low-power shots. Kastaplast is a Swedish disc golf company, and many of its molds carry Swedish names.
K1 Soft Plastic
K1 Soft is similar to K1 but flexier and grippier, and it comes in both translucent and solid colors. It's the same plastic as the old K2.
The Mold
The Svea might be your secret weapon for the lines you need, but don't mistake it for a beginners-only disc. Whenever you need massive glide, it delivers. It's lower profile than the Göte, so it suits smaller hands, and it's easy to grip and release.
Stability
The Svea is neutral-to-understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 6 | Huge glide that floats a long way with little effort. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 0 | No fade, so it finishes straight. |
