Discraft Big Z Kratos 3 | 3 | 0 | 3
Designed after the fan-favorite Luna, the Kratos is part of Paul McBeth's line from Discraft and feels very similar to its earlier counterpart with the exception of its beaded rim. The bead of the Kratos is intended to bring more stability to its flight in comparison to a Luna, and many players simply enjoy the feel of a beaded putter as opposed to a beadless putter. In Big Z plastic it's firm and durable with a pearly finish, so it's a great throwing putter. See every Kratos we stock in the Discraft Kratos Collection Hub or shop our full putters collection.
Flight Numbers
At 3 | 3 | 0 | 3, the Kratos is a slightly overstable putt and approach disc. The 0 turn means it won't turn over when you throw it hard or into the wind, the 3 glide keeps it from floating past the basket, and the 3 fade gives it a dependable finish every time. It's 21.1 cm across and 2.0 cm tall with a 1.4 cm rim depth and a 1.1 cm rim width, and it was PDGA approved on December 26, 2023.
These are designed to be great both on the putting green and off the tee as short range drivers or workable approach discs that have enough stability to give you the confidence you need to get from the fairway to the green (or from off the fairway back onto it).

The Big Z Kratos delivers:
- Beaded Feel: The bead gives your fingers a clear edge to find, so you get the same grip and release every time.
- More Stability Than the Luna: It holds up to harder throws and wind without turning over.
- Dependable Finish: It fades at the end every time, so you know where it's going to land.
It excels at:
- Windy putts
- Approach shots that need to hold a gentle hyzer
- Short tee shots that need a dependable finish
- Throwing putter duty off the tee
As Discraft puts it, the Kratos is overstable, optimized and outstanding. Whether you're sinking putts or threading approaches, it's your ticket to a more consistent and reliable game.
The Big Z Plastic Advantage
Big Z is Discraft's Z Line plastic with a pearly finish and a big, bold stamp. It's firm and durable, and it shrugs off tree hits without getting too beat up, so a Big Z Kratos stays overstable for a long time. It's not as grippy as Discraft's softer plastics and can feel a little slick on cold mornings, but it's a great pick if you want the Kratos as a throwing putter that flies the same round after round.

How the Kratos Fits in the Discraft Lineup
- Vs the Rubber Blend Kratos: Same mold and flight numbers in the grippy rubber and plastic mix the Kratos debuted in, great for putting.
- Vs the Putter Line Kratos: Same mold and flight numbers in baseline putter plastic in a grippy Soft Blend or a firmer Hard Blend.
- Vs the Z Line Kratos: Same mold and flight numbers in firm, durable premium plastic with a clean release for throwing.
- Vs the Z Glo Sparkle Kratos: Same mold and flight numbers in glow in the dark Z plastic with metal flake sparkle, from the 2025 Ledgestone Edition.
- Vs the Discraft Luna: The Luna (3 | 4 | 0 | 2) is the beadless putter the Kratos was designed after. It has more glide and a softer finish, and the Kratos is the one to grab when you need more stability.
- Vs the Discraft Zone: The Zone (4 | 3 | 0 | 3) is Discraft's overstable approach disc. It's a little faster and flatter, so it's perfect for longer approaches, and the Kratos is the one you can also putt with.
- Vs the Innova Aviar: The Aviar (2 | 3 | 0 | 1) is a classic beaded putter that flies straighter. The Kratos has more fade for windy putts and hyzer approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Discraft Big Z Kratos
How does Big Z plastic feel on the Kratos?
Big Z is firm and smooth with a pearly finish. It's one of Discraft's most durable plastics, so it holds the Kratos's stability the longest. It can feel a little slick in cold or wet weather, so keep a towel handy.
How does the Kratos compare to the Luna?
The Kratos is basically a beaded Luna with a little more stability. The Luna (3 | 4 | 0 | 2) has more glide and a softer finish, and the Kratos (3 | 3 | 0 | 3) has less glide and more fade, so it handles wind and harder throws better.
Is the Kratos good for beginners?
Yes. It's slow and easy to control, and it won't turn over on you. It is a little overstable, so it fades more than a straight putter, which newer players will notice on longer throws.
