Kastaplast K1 Idog
How do I read the numbers and stability?
How fast the disc has to be thrown to fly as designed. Beginners: up to 7. Without a strong arm, a faster disc will simply drop to the left and won't fly far.
How long the disc stays up in the air. A higher number means more distance with less effort. 5–7 works well for beginners.
High-speed turn. How much the disc turns to the right early in the flight (right-handed backhand). For beginners −1 to −3 is better: this turn to the right offsets the natural drop to the left of a beginner's throw, so the disc flies straighter.
Low-speed fade. How sharply the disc hooks to the left and drops at the end of the flight. For beginners 0–2 is more predictable and keeps more distance.
Despite how it sounds, understable does not mean a bad or unpredictable flight. Stability is relative to the power of the throw.
An understable disc is made to turn right on a powerful throw. On a beginner's softer throw, this tendency evens out the natural drop to the left, and the disc flies straight.
On a beginner's throw, a stable or overstable disc will drop to the left straight away and won't fly far. Once your throw gets stronger, you can move on to more stable discs.
Beginners: the first 6 months, still learning the basics of the throw. Amateurs: play regularly, with a developed technique. Advanced players: experienced players with a powerful, consistent throw.
Controlling the half-distance means controlling the entire game, and the Idog is the new half-distance disc that's up to the task. This versatile disc will come in handy more often than you think. Throw it in a straight line and watch it stay on course with an easy flip, use it for tricky "saydham" moves, throw it high and trust its landing deflection. "Idog" is an old, unusual Swedish word for diligence or industriousness, and that's exactly what we want to make it into - a reliable workhorse and new best friend.
Suitable for: Intermediate and advanced players.
The K1 line is a particularly durable material from "Kastaplast" with a good combination of rigidity and softness. The K1 line discs are available in both uniform and transparent shades.
