The Malm is a Kastaplast driver rated 10/4/0/2.5, with little turn and a substantial finishing fade. It suits longer bending control shots and powered throws where a strong finish matters. Players seeking a driver that turns easily at moderate power may find it too resistant to that line. Kastaplast specifically recommends it for headwinds and power shots, and says it serves both backhands and forehands. The maker emphasizes long curving fairways rather than only open-field distance. That makes it worth testing on a longer shaped fairway as well as an open distance shot. The PDGA approved the Malm on 30 December 2024 (24-231).

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.
