A truly need series. It's pretty hard to find decent information on companies plastics. I hope you do many more companies; especially the lesser known.
My bag is roughly 85-90% kastaplast. If I had to play a one disc round, I would probably choose the K1 Kaxe Z. You can do just about anything with that disc
@@johan8602 One of my favorites as well :) Have you tried it in K3? It somehow feels very diferent from the other plastics, I think the mold is slightly different. I throw only premium plastics except for the Kaxe Z thats in K3
@@SixSidedDiscs I'm a farmer with really dry hands so I can only get good grip on champion/lucid/glow style plastic not esp/star. I have to putt with premium plastic putters or jawbreaker/soft nomad is ok but I prefer very a stable putter. I always impress my cardmates with 45 footers with my glow Reko. It's 171 grams that helps with it's lack in glide. I aim left side band and spin it lil Annie/flat.
Honestly my K1 Soft plastic is more durable than my K1. The fact you rated k3’s durability higher than the K1 soft has me scratching my head too. This coming from a northeast woods player too.
Great question! I've not experienced any difference nor have I heard anyone talk about a difference in feel or durability between opaque and transparent K1. I've heard a few people talk about transparent being a little more overstable but I haven't experienced a difference myself.
Great video, although consider giving a lower score for higher price. All the other categories could be considered desirable characters where a higher score is better, whereas higher price is usually undesirable.
I see where you're coming from. I think the thought process was rating it low to high doesn't necessarily mean good or bad. Some people want a firm disc vs a flexible disc, doesn't necessarily mean that's good or bad. Same on price, sometimes premium plastic is worth it, sometimes mid grade or base plastic will do. As long as we rate them consistently against each other, it should at least make sense when compared against other ratings.
The Svea is great for beginners. It is nice and understable, meaning its easy to get distance for someone new to the sport. As your arm speed and technique improve, the Svea will become too understable for straight shots unless you can control that power.
With more power the svea will flip more but with better (cleaner) technique it might flip less again. I've just experienced that myself, right now I'm getting a lot cleaner releases than before and as a result everything acts more stable.
I have one Berg K1 soft(1-1-0-2) and a BergX K1 line(1-1-1-2). They are indestructable, period. I only use them for tricky upshots within 100ft and no other discs i own can match any of them. You do NOT use any of these for longer shots at all. And i only play wooded courses because i think park courses with huge open fields are utterly boring and to easy.
@@SixSidedDiscs yeah honestly all their suregrips could be condensed into 1 with a range of flexibilities and would cut out a good amount. Still a hefty video though

That is definitely the plan! Thanks for watching

would say the same.. the Kaxe Z is by far my favourite disc in the bag..i have the K1 soft however but I love the disc

@@broderalias nah I haven´t. Haven´t tried Kastaplast in other than the K1 Line
I just picked one up it’s still to stable the svea is my go to right now
Im a simple man. I see six sided discs and I hit like.
Great review. This is a company I have wanted to check out but know nothing about. This is super helpful, thank you.
Excellent breakdown
K1 glow Reko is my favorite plastic and putter. Does get too slick when raining but don't get too gummy when hot like my glow envy
Completely agree with your assessment, MVP Eclipse can get a bit gummy in the hot, although K1 is a fairly soft premium plastic as well.

I feel the same. The K1 Soft feels indestructible
K1 soft is bulletproof!!!
What timing. Looking at buying a Svea and trying to figure out what plastic to buy it in, thanks for the video!
Thanks! We have K1, K1 Soft and K1 Glow in stock currently if you can't find one you like elsewhere.
I have the Svea in K1 Line.. it is really flippy out of the box
@@johan8602 Oh for sure! The Svea is quite understable in just about any of their plastics, maybe a tad less so in Glow.
Another great episode in the seeies
Hey neat series! Would love to see this for RPM!
We carry RPM, I do like their plastic, I'd love to get a video done for them in the near future.
Is there any durability difference between their opaque and non opaque K1 plastics?
Great question! I've not experienced any difference nor have I heard anyone talk about a difference in feel or durability between opaque and transparent K1. I've heard a few people talk about transparent being a little more overstable but I haven't experienced a difference myself.
RPM next!

Strange how it appears as high price is desirable.. consider inverting the price scale.
Im new to disc golf and i just bought a Svea K1 since i heard it was good disc for beginners is it as good as i´ve heard?

Lol you should do Gateway, that'd be a nice hour long video
Omg our nightmare haha, we do like some of their plastics…maybe a best of version lol
