Reko X | Kastaplast · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Reko X" from Kastaplast positions itself as an overstable beaded putter, establishing its place as a versatile throwing putter in the Swedish manufacturer's lineup. With a speed of 3, glide of 3, turn of 0, and fade of 2, this disc offers significantly more stability than the classic Reko, catering to players seeking a reliable approach and throwing putter for windy conditions and precise lines. The K1 Line delivers particularly grippy characteristics, while the K3 Line and K1 Glow provide additional plastic options for different preferences. The distinct bead and deeper hand feel set the "Reko X" apart from its predecessor, creating a unique throwing experience with a secure grip. The flight characteristics feature a remarkably straight initial phase followed by a reliable fade at the end of the flight path. Unlike many putters with a fade rating of 2, the "Reko X" consistently delivers this fade, ensuring predictable landings. Its stability allows for controlled turnover shots without unwanted flipping or risk of rolling, while the disc also provides enough resistance for gentle flex shots. This balance between straight flight and dependable finish makes the "Reko X" far less susceptible to wind compared to flatter putter models, significantly expanding its range of use. For backhand throwers, the "Reko X" excels in straight approaches with a secure fade finish, while forehand throws remain precisely controllable. The disc shines particularly at distances between 50 and 90 meters, where stability and predictability are crucial. Despite its overstable nature, the "Reko X" is rated as very beginner-friendly—its deeper profile and pronounced fade quickly give newcomers a sense of reliable flight paths, while advanced players appreciate it for demanding approach shots and headwind situations.
