The Discraft Kratos is an overstable putt and approach disc for players who want a strong, controlled finish. Its stable flight works well for approaches, short drives, and forehand shots. The Kratos also handles wind and harder throws better than a straighter putter.
The Discraft Kratos is a beaded putt and approach disc with an overstable flight. It shares the Luna mold but has a stronger finish and a bead on the rim. That gives it a different feel in the hand and a more overstable flight. The added stability suits players who prefer a putter with more fade. It is also a solid choice for shots where you need the disc to finish firmly.
The Kratos is useful when you need a putter that will not turn over easily. It works well for approach shots, short tee throws, and putts in windy conditions. Players who like throwing their putters with power can also use it for longer approaches.
Flight Characteristics and Control
The Discraft Kratos holds a straight path on a flat throw before its fade comes in. When thrown on hyzer, that fade shows earlier and gives the shot a more pronounced finish. Anhyzer throws can keep the disc moving on a wider line, but the Kratos will still work back as it slows down. More power brings out its strong finish. A smooth release helps keep the flight on a tighter line.
The same stability makes the Kratos useful for forehand shots. A clean sidearm can push forward before the disc fades toward the target. Around the basket, that strong finish can help when you need the disc to settle instead of continuing past the landing area.
Discraft Kratos Flight Numbers
Flight numbers of 3 | 3 | 0 | 3 give the Discraft Kratos a stable flight with a strong fade. It does not turn much during the early part of the flight and finishes firmly as it slows down. The moderate glide keeps the disc from staying in the air too long on shorter shots.
These numbers suit power hyzers, forehand approaches, and shots into a headwind. Flex throws can also use the forward push before the fade takes over. The flight is a good fit when you need a putter to finish with a clear left or right movement. Short tee shots can also benefit from its firm finish. It works well when you need to keep the disc from drifting too far past the target.
Beginners will find the Kratos more overstable than a typical straight-flying putter. The strong fade can make it finish early on shorter throws. Short hyzers and windy approaches are good places to start.
Intermediate players can use the Kratos for approaches, short drives, and forehand shots. The added stability helps when a straighter putter turns too much. It also works well for controlled hyzer lines. As arm speed improves, players can use more power without losing control. The strong fade can help them learn to shape consistent hyzer shots. Windy conditions also give them a chance to practice working with an overstable putter.
Advanced players can put more power into the Kratos without turning it over easily. Power putts, flex shots, forehand approaches, and headwind throws suit its flight. The strong fade also helps when a shot needs to finish around an obstacle.
