Kastaplast
SKU: DG-KP-K1S-JARN (REF1822-4)
Description
The Kastaplast K1 Soft Jarn putter is a low-profile, overstable approach disc, molded in K1 Soft plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on flex shots and hyzer approaches. 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 Järn's flight pattern makes it just as capable for touchy flex shots as for flat-out hyzers. Its low profile makes it easy to grip and easy to release. Järn is Swedish for iron.
Stability
The Jarn 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.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4.5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
