Prodigy Disc

400G FX-2 2020 Disc of the Year

The FX-2 packs a punch in our fairway lineup, finding a slot between our F Series and H Series. It was created in collaboration with 2-time Disc Golf Pro Tour Champion Chris Dickerson, who expressed his desire for a fairway driver that was faster and sported specific dimensions.

The FX-2 has a profile that provides a comfortable feel for both backhand and sidearm throwers. It handles power extremely well with a long straight flight and a medium, consistent finish. The finish is not too harsh for those with less power, and it will be available in lighter weights soon for access to a variety of players at different levels.

400G series is the regular 400 plastic with a shot of adrenaline. It is the base 400 plastic mixed with another resin that give the plastic a slightly different feel than the base 400 series. The additive also makes the disc more durable and requires more time to break it in.

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.
