The Kastaplast Reko X is a 3-speed overstable putt & approach. With published flight numbers of 3 / 3 / 0 / 2, it is most often described as suited for headwind putts and approaches, approach shots that need a dependable fade finish.

Overview

The Kastaplast Reko X is the overstable member of the Reko family, flying 3/3/0/2 against the classic Reko's neutral flight.[1][3] It shares most shapes and dimensions with the original — the concave wing is the most obvious exception, a feature Kastaplast says 'allows a more distinct grip and makes the disc a better headwind fighter.'[1] The result is a straightforward workhorse putter: no turn at any sensible power, modest glide, and a consistent two-fade finish that shows up putt after putt.[1][4]

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.

Kastaplast lists the Reko X as suitable for putts, approaches and short drives.[1] It slots in where the regular Reko gets pushed around — headwind putts, forehand upshots, and approach lines that must finish left (RHBH) rather than drift past the basket.[1][4] The premium K1 blend is the stock offering, with K1 Glow for night rounds and the base-grade K3 blend as a budget, quicker-to-season alternative.[1][3]

Best for:

  • Headwind putts and approaches
  • Approach shots that need a dependable fade finish
  • Forehand upshots inside 250 ft
  • Short overstable putter drives

Plastics & variants

The Reko X is available in the following plastic blends from Kastaplast:[1]

K1, K1 Glow, K3

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 Reko X was PDGA-approved on January 17, 2022 (certification 22-9).[2] It extended one of Kastaplast's most popular molds: the Swedish company's Reko putter had become a modern classic, and the X version answered players who wanted the same hand-feel with more stability. Rather than a simple re-tune, Kastaplast reworked the wing into a concave profile while keeping the Reko's dimensions, positioning the Reko X alongside the Berg and Berg X as the overstable end of its putt-and-approach lineup.[1][2][4]
