The Kastaplast K1 Kaxe, retooled with a slightly smoother fade, sits in the gap between a midrange and a fairway driver, faster than a Roc but not quite ready to call itself a driver. It's the disc I grab when I'm not sure which of those two I actually need.

Flight Numbers: 6 / 5 / 0 / 2

K1 is Kastaplast's grippy, ultra premium blend, small in diameter with a slightly elongated wing that makes it feel faster and smoother in the hand than a typical midrange. It holds its stability stubbornly, even forced onto an anhyzer it resists turning over more than you'd expect from a 6 speed.

It flies consistently across a wide range, anywhere from 200 to well past 300 feet, and it commits to whichever line you put it on rather than drifting. That range is what makes it a genuine tweener, it covers fairway distances on a hard throw and eases down into true midrange territory on a soft one. It's a strong single disc option for a smaller bag, and I'd recommend it to anyone who already owns a Roc3 and a Teebird and wants one disc that splits the difference.

Want a firmer, more overstable version of the same shape? The K3 Kaxe fades harder and grips even better. Prefer something that glows for evening rounds? The K1 Glow Kaxe carries the same flight after dark. Browse our overstable midranges.
