K1 Hard Details
K1 Hard is the stiffest version of Kastaplast's K1 plastic.
Honestly one of my faves, it's fairly straight with a little drift at high speeds and it glides forever. Fairly small for a 10 speed so like a PD, its more comparable to a 9 speed.
This disc has been a workhorse for me since it came out. This disc is very straight for most of its flight, before a late reliable and hard fade. It is not some insane beefcake, but does not flinch in the wind either. This disc being a 10 speed really makes up for its lack of glide, it gets where its going fast, then fades right near the end of the flight.
Most of the other reviews are spot on. I agree with the 10-speed teebird comparison. On a good throw, this disc holds straight for awhile before a nice fade as it slows down. In my short experience, this disc doesn't quite hold up in wind. I think maybe because the nose on mine seems a bit blunt compared to discs of similar speed.
I will use this as my summer distance driver with my slower arm speed and I would recommend it for that use case. A distance driver you don't have to completely rip to get a proper flight with nice glide.
