What RPM say: The Tākapu (or Gannet in English) is a stable putt and approach disc. In the wild it has bold colours, rakish lines and a wing span of almost two metres. Tākapu are not only among the most elegant of birds but are also masters of the wind and attack their prey with deadly precision.
The RPM Tākapu has a slow and very stable flight with a gentle late fade. The beadless rim and rounded nose fits perfectly into your hand and helps eliminate wobble. When thrown with high power they will hold their line like a laser beam.
The Levi Stout Tākapu is molded in 1158 TPU (Thermo-Plasticised Urethane) which is a lot stiffer that the regular 1155 Atomic plastic. It was first used to mold First Run (1R) Takapus when sourcing 1155 plastic was tricky, during COVID.
The resulting very stiff yellow Takapu quickly found favour with players seeking the longest, stiffest, and most stable Takapu, and OG 1R Yellow Takapus trade at non-trivial prices.
