The Kastaplast Falk is a 9-speed understable fairway driver. With published flight numbers of 9 / 6 / -2 / 1, it is most often described as suited for hyzer-flip fairway drives, long anhyzer turnover shots.
Overview
The Kastaplast Falk is a versatile understable fairway driver from Swedish manufacturer Kastaplast, with flight numbers of 9/6/-2/1.[1] Named after the Swedish word for falcon, the Falk fits a wide range of players thanks to its comfortable 19 mm rim width and high glide.[1] Its understable, glidy profile makes it accessible for moderate arms while still offering shape control for stronger throwers.
Flight characteristics
Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.
Recommended uses
The Falk shines on hyzer-flips, long turnovers, and shaping lines in the woods.[1] Throw it flat for a long, gentle S-curve, or on a slight hyzer for a flip-up-to-flat workhorse.[1] K1 is firm and durable, K1 Soft offers more flexibility and grip, K1 Glow is the glow-in-the-dark variant, and K1 Hard provides a more rigid, confident feel.[3]
Best for:
- Hyzer-flip fairway drives
- Long anhyzer turnover shots
- Backhand and forehand rollers
- Shaped lines in wooded fairways

Plastics & variants
The Falk is available in the following plastic blends from Kastaplast:[1]
K1, K1 Soft, K1 Glow, K1 Hard
Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.
History
The Falk was PDGA approved on April 13, 2017, with certification number 17-54.[2] Kastaplast is a Swedish manufacturer known for high-quality production and distinctive K-series plastic blends.[1] The brand's signature animal-stamp molds — Falk (falcon), Berg (mountain), Reko (heron) — have become iconic in the European disc golf scene.
