Kastaplast
SKU: DG-KP-K1-KAXZ (REF2033-4)
Description
The Kastaplast K1 Kaxe Z midrange is a multi-purpose midrange driver, molded in K1 plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on mid-power drives and powered-down shots. 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
Kastaplast calls it a midrange driver, but the Kaxe Z is just as much a fairway driver. It handles a decent amount of speed and wind but performs better than a typical driver when powered down. The Z stands for Zero, symbolizing less stability than the original Kaxe.
Stability
The Kaxe Z 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 | 6 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| 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. |
