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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGlide\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTurn\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eFade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Big Z Kratos delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeaded Feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bead gives your fingers a clear edge to find, so you get the same grip and release every time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Stability Than the Luna:\u003c\/strong\u003e It holds up to harder throws and wind without turning over.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDependable Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e It fades at the end every time, so you know where it's going to land.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt excels at:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindy putts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproach shots that need to hold a gentle hyzer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort tee shots that need a dependable finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowing putter duty off the tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Discraft puts it, the Kratos is overstable, optimized and outstanding.
