The berg in k3 plastic is my favorite of the bergs. Has the perfect feel and softness for me. its a "straight/stable" disc in the beginning but beats in to be a hyzerflip to flat disc. it just goes straight were you aim it. This one i also forehand and its great for short holes and upshots when u dont want to fade left or right.

The Berg is a very unique disc.

The basic idea of Berg is that it flies straight, then stalls in the air and drops in place with barely any lateral movement. It's impossible to accidentally throw the Berg far farther than attempted, and it's nearly as impossible to end up too much left or right of the target.

I like this concept for shots where I would otherwise have to power down on a 4-speed approach disc or a 2-3-speed putter. I would often overshoot a short shot with those discs, but that barely ever happens with the Berg.

The shape of the Berg is as unique as its flight path. It has a massive puddle top, and the disc seems very deep, but because of the puddle top it doesn't feel as deep as it looks. I don't generally like forehanding deeper discs, but the Berg works just fine on both forehand and backhand.

I throw the Berg from anywhere between 30-60 meters to the pin. I can pretty much throw a regular forehand shot with the Berg and I know it will stop before flying past 60 meters.

The Berg is also useful for stalling anhyzer lines, for example when you need to dodge a tree with either backhand or forehand. You can throw the Berg high in a severe anhyzer, and it will still manage to land softly and not go too deep of the target. I've attempted this same shot with regular putters and it's easy to overshoot or cut roll.

The K3 plastic beats in with time, and it becomes a bit less stable than the K1 Soft that I have. If I throw these two at max power with the backhand, the K1 Soft doesn't turn at all, it will just fly straight for a while and drop down on a straight line. The beat-in K3 Berg will turn mildly to the right with a similar shot.

I love the feel of both the K3 and K1 Soft plastics. The K1 Soft is ridiculously soft, but for the Berg it somehow works perfectly. The K3 is the grippiest base plastic from any manufacturer that I've tried.

All in all, you should give the Berg a try. The K3 ones don't cost much, and it's definitely a disc type that you haven't seen elsewhere.

My prefered type of Berg!

When thrown hard and little hyzer it flips up and it fly straight. Then the best part, it fades DOWN.

This is why I bag a K3 Berg.

Approachgame made easier with both forehand and backhand ??

(Keep in mind that it could feel a bit odd in the hand but give it a try)
