Every player needs a forgiving approach disc that can be trusted. Whether facing wind or danger near the basket, the Berg's minimal speed and glide provide unmatched control for short approaches.
The Berg is a slow and stable putter designed for short drives and approaches as well as fearless putts. The Berg can be trusted not to hover far past the basket, even on windy days. What characterizes the Berg when thrown off the tee is its good high-speed stability without a very hard fade, a combination that makes this disc easy to shape various lines with. The Berg features an ergonomic grip and the thumb track was designed to be prominent on the top side while not being noticeable at the bottom, which makes it feel very different from any other putter. Feel the Berg difference, and go for the chains! Berg is Swedish for mountain. Steady as a rock!
The Kastaplast Berg is one of the most unique discs in the game. With its 1-speed and 1-glide, it’s designed for precision and control on short-range shots, eliminating the fear of overshooting your target. Its blunt profile and torque resistance allow you to throw it confidently without fear of it deviating from your line, even when thrown with power. Pair that with Kastaplast’s incredible lineup of plastics, and you’ve got a disc that truly stands out. Whether you love it or hate it, the Berg is a disc every player should try. Has it made your bag?
Why This 1-Speed Made My Bag
Flight Metrics
Speed
The velocity required to reach a disc's optimal flight path. Range: 1 to 15.
Glide
The measure of lift generated by a disc to stay aloft. Range: 1 to 7.
Turn
The velocity, relative to the speed of the disc, required to cause the disc to turn with the direction of spin. Range: +1 to -5.
Fade
The low-velocity stability that causes a disc to hook at the end of its flight. Range: 0 to 5.
My go to approach disc inside 150.
Can handle a little torque on the forehand, And stable enough to resist a little bit of Annie on the backhand.
I’ve had it for about a month now and I already have two throw ins outside of 100ft.
The Berg is my favorite approach disc for shots under 200 feet. Since it doesn't have much glide, it makes controlling the distance much easier. Also, since its a one-speed disc, controlling the left and right movement is much more forgiving. I definitely would recommend trying this disc if you're looking to improve your short game.
I am relatively new to disc golf. I have been playing almost two years now. I used to carry all sorts of different putters and approach discs and would struggle with disc selection depending on distance, obstacles, wind, etc. An experienced player told me to pick one putter, commit to it, develop your touch with it, use it for catch in the park, take it in the shower with you, lol. I chose the K-1 soft Berg because if I miss it doesn’t sail away on me. It doesn’t bounce or skip off the basket and go sailing past. Its like a tennis ball. It goes right where you throw it and stays put. Since I started using the Berg for all putt and approach my score has dropped 10 stokes. I went from shooting +10 or more on rounds to shooting even or +1 or +2. I have confidence in my putting and approach shots that I lacked before. It was great advice to pick one disc and stick with it and the K-1 soft Berg has been amazing for me.
I’m definately a Kastaplast fan (K1 and K1 glow plastics make all other “premium plastics” feel like economy grades). Even so, I didn’t expect to like this disc, so it took me a very long time to try it... now it is probably my favorite mold!
I love this thing! When a disc is epicly slow and also super stable, think about it... I can essentially throw this thing power grip as hard as I want and it doesn’t go anywhere, and it also doesn’t think about turning! It just goes straight w/ a hint of fade. It’s a point and shoot disc for unparalleled distance control and it grabs the grass very well, and the fade is easily controlled by altitude. It’s super comfortable both fan grip or power grip and it can even handle sidearm. If you’re throwing a harp, it might be time to upgrade to a slower Berg.
I throw this on pretty much all backhand upshots as my go to at 80-200’, and it seems to be magnetically attracted to the basket. I used to struggle on shorter drives, but my typical putting distance after upshot is probably cut in half since bagging this disc.
My max distance is around 350’ and it is very rare that I can throw the Berg beyond 200’... usually my distance is accurate to about 10’ with the Berg.
