Prodigy Disc

500 A2 Väinö Mäkelä Signature Series 2021

The A2 is an over stable utility disc that fills the gap between midranges and putters. The A2 is perfect for power throwers who want to avoid the possibility of their shot turning over. The disc is consistent and reliable in all wind conditions and perfect for short, trick shots as well as high wind approach shots. The A2 is a beadless cousin to the A1 and will fly just slightly less stable than the A1. You can expect and extra 30 to 40 feet of glide than the A1.

500 Plastic has been in development for quite some time, formulated and based on carefully considered player feedback. It has a stiffer, less gummy feel than 400 Plastic. This provides an extremely confident grip on the flight plate, balancing just the right amount of flex and firmness, with a very solid feeling rim that we believe disc golfers are going to love.

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.
