The Kastaplast K1 Malm is a unique distance driver. With a hint more speed than most fairway drivers, but not quite the levels as most distance drivers, the Malm slots in nicely for disc golfers of many skill levels.
The high speed stability is notable and can certainly hold up in most headwinds. You can lean into the Malm quite easily and trust that it won't get too out of control for you.
At the end of the flight, the Malm will certainly show some fade, but it doesn't have the big bite that so many drivers have.
It is a close, but not exact clone, of the Discmania PD. If anything, it reminds us of some older, straighter runs of the PD. It isn't going to become your go-to headwind driver, but the Malm can aboultely handle just about anything thrown at it. We wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a sleeper hit as the year goes on.

The four numbers on a disc tell you the discs’s flight characteristics: speed, glide, turn, and fade.
Lower speed ratings typically translate to a disc being easier to throw, but may not go as far. Higher the speed, further they’ll fly, but they are more difficult to throw.
Glide tells you how much it wants to stay in the air.
Turn indicates how much it wants to turn to the right at high speeds. -4 will turn more than -1.
Fade tells you about the end of the flight. The higher the number, the stronger it will finish to the left.
