Kastaplast
SKU: DG-KP-K3-TUFF (REF2243-2)
Description
The Kastaplast K3 Tuff putter is a smooth, straight-shooting putt and approach disc, molded in K3 plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on smooth approaches. Kastaplast is a Swedish disc golf company, and many of its molds carry Swedish names.
K3 Plastic
K3 is Kastaplast's base plastic, grippy in all conditions. You'll get that nice worked-in feel quickly, and compared to other base plastics, K3 is medium soft.
The Mold
The Tuff takes you from A to B in the smoothest way possible. This straight shooter has a rounded edge and small bead for a comfortable grip and excellent control, and its glide and small fade make it great for approaches.
Stability
The Tuff is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |

| Speed | 3 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| 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 | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
