Prodigy Disc

300 Ultra Soft A5 Twilight Tide

The Prodigy A5 is a slightly overstable approach disc that will work in to be a straight flyer. It has a nice, smooth feel with a shallow profile and flat top, which makes it ideal for sidearm approaches. It can handle torque well and has a mild finish on the end, so it won't skip too far from where it lands.

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.
