[Other] Kastaplast Kaxe

[NuNinja]

Meet Kaxe, a small diameter midrange driver. With decent stability and slim proportions this disc will come in handy in numerous situations on the course. Made in our popular high end plastic - tacky and super durable. Kaxe is an old Swedish word, meaning a stuck-up or cocky person.
The Kaxe prototype is here thrown downhill by Kymen who describes it as very reliable and multi-functional. Stay put for the first run in June!

Go...

Are they going to use the same technology that they used on the Rask?

 

[NuNinja]

I hope not. The few times I held the Rask, I just couldn't get my grip right. And I dig small diameter mids. :thmbup:

 

[NuNinja]

Anybody throw one or at least feel one up. I saw one local but didn't spend too much time looking with the 20 price tag. :\

Haven't tried the Kaxe or the Rask yet... would like to. From what it looks like, it should be a popular offering, but I don't know how popular they will be right away. Be interested to see how/what they do to market to American players...

I have both the Rask and the Kaxe. I love both of them. I would not say the Kaxe is a disc for a new player. Like MVP discs, it needs more snap to get its full potential out of it.
It feels and flies like a mid but with the speed and glide of a slow fairway driver. I would liken it to the concept of a hybrid club in ball golf.
Go get one, the plastic is up there with MVP's, it will last you a long time

Anyone else throwing this thing yet? Bi picked up a Kaxe today and a Kaxe Z on a whim just to because they looked cool. I compared the rims to the Claymore I was buying and they are definitely wider. So speed 6 is probably about right. The Kaxe has a bead, and the Z version has no bead. Plastic reminds me of some of the awesome Prodiscus plastic. I will try to get them out this week and see what. They do.

My friends in Germany are all saying this is the disc of the year, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

 

[Mocheez]

It kind of sounds similar to the OOP Discraft Storm.

 

[Moose33]

I've thrown the Kaxe a couple of times, and i haven't thrown many similar discs.

It's like a fast mid/slow fairway flies sort of like a Zombee but the hand feel is more comfortable, almost like if a Cro came to a more of steep curve. I liked it but have no idea when I would bag one.

It's just a bit shorter than a Teebird and not much longer than my normal mids(yao/Roc3/Cro I switch it up depending on the course) just not sure where it fits.

 

[BrotherDave]

Is it like a Squall?

 

[Halcón]

This looks like a sick disc.

 

[TheBMeistor]

The Kaxe tester I threw from Infinite a while back was pretty beefy. Most similar disc I could think of was Gazelle. Feels and looks a lot like a Zombee/Squall (Squombee?) but faster and more stable.

Definitely punishes you if you don't rip it on a hard throw, fades hard on soft throws. Haven't thrown a Kaxe Z but I bet it is like a longer Squall.

Looks more like a slow FW driver than a Mid to me. I'm glad I watch that vid just to hear the correct pronunciation of Kaxe, although now I'm scared to ask someone if I can see their Kaxe.

Well, the vid is in German, but I assume he was pronouncing it how it's pronounced in Swedish.

 

[sloppydisc]

This could be intersting then. The Kaxe is thenOs one with a bead, and the Kaxe Z is the same disc minus the little bead. So it is less Os in theory. I like the combo theory and complimentary nature of their strategy. Plus the plastic is simple awesome feeling. Now I just have to throw them and see what they do.

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

i threw a kaxe, felt like a slower qjls or less overstable whippet, not bad but i don't need one.

 

[adventurous penguin]

My Kaxe is still pretty fresh, but I'm already in love with it. It flies just like my envy but faster, glidier, and further. I feel like I have the same amount of control, and it has been getting used on almost all throws 300-375' for the last few weeks. I'd call it a very fast mid, it's a very controllable disc. Haven't thrown a kaxe z though.

 

[sloppydisc]

Weather looks good tomorrow so I'm going to meet brotherdave for a few rounds with the Kaxe and Kaxe Z. We'll report back after we give them a good testing.

Well then, you just said the magic words. I'll have to get a few of these.
