The Nord is Kastaplast's overstable midrange, rated 5/4/0/3: a flat-flying, heavy-feeling mid with a shallower hand feel than most and a fade you can set a watch to. It is the Swedish brand's answer for headwinds, forehand mids, and approach shots that must not turn over.

Approved in February 2024, it completed Kastaplast's midrange trio, anchoring the overstable end beside the neutral Gote and understable Svea, and the names map Sweden itself: Norrland in the north, Svealand in the middle, Gotaland in the south. It sells in K1, softer K1 Soft, and grippy K3 blends.

If your mids drift when the wind picks up, this is the anchor Kastaplast built for the job.

Questions

  • Is the Kastaplast Nord overstable?
    Yes. The Nord (5/4/0/3) is an overstable midrange that flies heavy and finishes with a dependable fade, so it resists turning over even on power throws. That makes it a reliable choice for headwinds, forehands, and hyzer approaches.

  • What is Kastaplast K1 plastic like?
    K1 is Kastaplast premium Swedish blend, known for an excellent feel that is grippy but not sticky, and very durable. K1 Soft is a flexier, grippier version, and K3 is a more affordable baseline option.

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.
