The Kratos is Paul McBeth's overstable beaded putt-and-approach disc, rated 3/3/0/3: no turn, modest glide, and a firm left finish, with a bead locking the rim in the hand. It is built for wind putts, driving-putter duty, and approaches that must not slip past the basket; players wanting float and finesse will pair it with something straighter. The formula is the trusted one for overstable putters: power it, flick it, or throw it into gusts, and the flight ends the same way, short and left of where a neutral putter would drift. Certified in December 2023 (PDGA cert 23-279), it joined the mythologically named molds of McBeth's Discraft line (the Zeus and Hades among them), and it sells under his name in the stock lineup. Runs so far: Putter Line Hard and Putter Line Soft under his stamp, plus a Big Z stock release.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
