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 Tākapu is molded in 5 standard plastic types and with many effects. The Magma and Strata varieties feel grippy and silky and come in three grades of stiffness. Cosmic (translucent) and Atomic (solid colour) are super-grippy ultra-durable premium TPUs - Thermo-Plasticised Urethanes.

RPM Takapu (SWIRLY Atomic)
Takapu is a stable driving and putting putter inspired by the Aviar Putt & Approach mold, and flies like a P2. Tākapu is beadless and has roughly the same depth as the famous Ruru. It is a slow-flying, stable putter with good loft and a great ability to withstand high airspeeds without turning over.
Atomic Plastic is a premium solid-colour plastic with a great colour range. Atomic discs sometimes have swirl or splatter effects, and/or metal flakes, and/or metal foil stamps.Proudly designed and manufactured in Auckland by our good friends at RPM.
