Kastaplast
SKU: DG-KP-FRK1-GADD (REF2721-6)
Description
The Kastaplast K1 Gadd midrange is a straight midrange with a touch of fade, molded in K1 plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on accurate wooded lines. This listing is the First Run release of the Gadd. It's from the very first production run of this mold.
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 Gadd flies straight with a touch of fade, holding the line and staying grounded when the wind picks up. A lower dome gives a clean release and a flat, controlled feel. The grip is close to the Nord but rounder and more centered, and it's built for accuracy on wooded lines: forgiving enough to trust, stable enough to commit.
Stability
The Gadd 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 | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| 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. |

FAQ
Is the Kastaplast Gadd good for beginners?
Yes. The Gadd's predictable flight makes it easy to trust as you learn.
Is the Kastaplast Gadd overstable?
Not really. The Gadd is stable, rated 5/5/0/2, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between K1 and K3 plastic?
K1 is super durable with a mix of firmness and gumminess. K3 is the grippy, medium-soft base plastic that wears in quickly.
What disc is similar to the Kastaplast Gadd?
The Kastaplast K1 Kaxe (6/5/0/2) is a faster midrange driver with a similar fade.
How far does the Kastaplast Gadd fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 275 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
