The Stal, written Stål by Kastaplast, is an overstable driver rated 9/4/0/3. It suits control shots with a strong finish, particularly when easy-turning drivers are too vulnerable to the line or wind. Slower arms may use it mainly as a fading placement driver instead of an ordinary distance choice. Kastaplast recommends it to experienced players and specifically highlights headwinds and control over maximum distance. The maker's intended role is resisting turn while maintaining an accurately placed shot, rather than producing the broad curve of a distance driver. The name means steel in Swedish, according to Kastaplast. The PDGA approved the Stal on 11 December 2017 (17-126).

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.
