Prodigy Disc

400 Glimmer X4 Team Prodigy

The X4 is a slightly understable, low profile, high speed distance driver. It is great for players with lower arm speed that are looking to gain more distance. The X4 is designed to hold a turnover even at a lower speed. The X4 performs very well at low heights and in tunnel shots. For players with faster arm speed, the X4 will flip later in the flight path, and is perfect for long wooded shots or accurate turnovers.

400 Glimmer plastic is regular 400 series plastic with tiny metal particles added to give the disc an extraordinary shine.

The US-based Prodigy Disc is one of the most popular disc golf brands in Finland. Prodigy’s range includes disc golf discs, backpacks, targets and other course equipment, as well as various accessories. Powergrip is the official distributor of Prodigy Disc in Europe (except Norway). The discs are manufactured in the United States and China.

Prodigy Disc use a unique naming system: the first part of the model name is a letter indicating the disc type (for example, the PA series for putters, the A series for approach discs, the M series for midranges, the F series for fairway drivers, H for hybrid drivers, and D for distance drivers). Prodigy Disc’s premium plastic blends are 400, 500 and 750. The grippier and faster-wearing base plastics are 200, 300 and 350g.

Some of the most popular Prodigy Disc models include PA-3, P Model S, P Model US, D3 and PA-1.

The numbers that usually appear on the top of the disc indicate the flight characteristics of the disc. The most commonly used way to tell the flight characteristics is to use four numbers: speed, glide, stability and fade.

Disc golf discs usually weigh between 140 and 180 grams. The lighter the disc, the less stable it is. Conversely, the heavier the disc, the more overstable it behaves.
