Kastaplast Disc Golf K1 Glow Nord Midrange 5/4/0/3 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Kastaplast K1 Glow Nord midrange is Kastaplast's overstable, heavy-flying midrange, molded in K1 Glow plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on overstable mid shots in any condition. Kastaplast is a Swedish disc golf company, and many of its molds carry Swedish names.
K1 Glow Plastic
K1 Glow has the same properties as the durable K1 line, powered with a long-lasting glow. Charging it with a UV light gives the best, longest-lasting results.
The Mold
The Nord is an overstable midrange that flies heavy and isn't as deep as many comparable discs. It completes Kastaplast's midrange trio: Nord on the overstable side, Göte in the center, and Svea on the understable side, giving you confidence on all medium-range shots in all conditions. Nord is a synonym for north.
Stability
The Nord 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.
