The Prodigy lineup is underrated by the disc golf community I had the opportunity to test them at the 2023 USWDGC course The Regulator.

What’s up fellas we’re doing a prodigy disc review they sent me out 10 discs so shout out to Prodigy for that we’re out here at regulator we’re on ho 10 because there was a pretty big backup on one this is a par five I’m going to go with
This F5 because it’s par five going through this gap on a little Hiser flip oh me tricky horrible kick we’re just gonna get something in the Fairway not ideal pitching an A5 through these little trees ooh in the puddle this water is really high today we had some massive rain the past two
Days and steady there we go the F5 was pretty underst stable for a sidearm so I’m going to Club up to this nped just throw it flat get into play you something okay that’s not terrible it comes out quick comes out really quick I don’t know if yall ever start on the
Back nine when there’s a big group I know I do cuz I got places to be man I don’t want to be on the course for three hours just going to lay this one up got a lot of golf left perfect game plan for ho 10 was a
Success I did not lose one in the water got a par on hold 10 hole 11 is a twoot hole you just want to throw a Flip Flip up Hiser going with a D3 here just a smooth forehand yeah I mean that’s carrying pretty good should be in a good
Spot with this A5 it feels pretty smooth pretty clean should be all right um kind of hooked on my finger not going to lie all right pry discs um I the only time I’ve ever seen anyone throw Prodigy is if they’re on the street team or they’re actually sponsored
So it’s kind of cool to give it a fair shot today just cuz I don’t know what any of these really do and hey I mean that’s just F that’s just the fun of it trying out new stuff I will say I do putt with b and
Putter so the pa3 is pretty nice one thing that I hear about Prodigy discs a lot from people is how bad the flashing is and I don’t know if that’s because of the old plastic or not but this new stuff it’s very smooth on the bottom not any rough
Edges all right that was a birdie so we are now one under through two holes hole 12 Par 3 300 ft going with this M4 and 400 plastic I don’t really know what to expect just going to assume it’s a straight great fly no it’s kind of stable give it a good
Bid justce going in oh man yep that rolled not good I can’t see a thing I should probably turn my hat around thing doesn’t Glide well back to even folks we got a par four here just going to throw an upshot to those Mossy trees
Then I got to get across the creek 500 A5 my mistake yeah that was pretty good I’ll be pinched but could be a we ended up being safe I think it was this pole so shout out pole I don’t want to lose any discs so just going to throw a sidearm and get
Across sidearm and get across nice try out this pa5 it’s in 300 soft plastic hopefully I can get up the hill feels funky woo that’s a par we’re on to another par 4 taking my D3 just trying to get out of the Gap man it’s it’s kind of stable came up pretty
Short pretty short I don’t like this walk up so I’m going to throw a sidearm kind of far for the approach we’re going to try this D2 unfortunately it is Syracuse themed so y yuck going to spike it in now die die okay probably a bit short but hey in the
Circle I think my thoughts throughout the round so far is that they’re pretty good um there’s really nothing’s flashing standing out um my only complaint is that the A5 that I have kind of has a little bubble top to it I’d like for it to be flatter okay Miss Fire one one two three four all right another far this fire on the putt this is 330 ft going with an F5 here just throwing some something flat letting it carry oh that’s kind of flipping we take that not bad birdie putt 33 feet oh my goodness Slowly figuring out that putter comes out pretty darn clean just have to find the right line for it this is a Bruiser of a par five if you don’t get out of this Gap going to go heer flip with this F5 I don’t have a driver that will fit
The flight shape that I want so we’re just going to play a little position golf okay well that did not work out that didn’t work after a little bit more higher than expected oh well will say the F5 is pretty darn smooth coming out of the hand super Smooth release so
If you’re looking for that woodsy type Fairway I I give it a stamp of approval H we’re not in a good spot taking an A2 yall can even see that she got to punch through this Gap um I think we’re on the other side I want to give the D2 a shot
Here um come over on it just a little bit yeah I think if I got that lower and penetrate the line more could have gotten some more distance I lay up all day I don’t want to take any silly Strokes yep 330 ft downhill par three over the water
Probably the iconic coal here at regulator going to go with this 400 plastic M4 on a slight tier yeah all right that should be a 20f footer okay I am right behind a tree that’s lovely nice look at that 18 par 4 straight through this Gap
Then left then back right giving the M2 a shot oh it dropped now go left okay okay say torque resistant M4 yeah Green’s clear we’re going D2 on a Heiser oh no what is that that pushed too straight was not dumping as hard as I wanted it
To okay baskets it’s in that tree line all the way down there going safe Heiser with a D2 now die right there hit and sit should be center cut okay baskets to the right side Gap I haven’t really thrown the A2 yet so going to give it a
Go please fade now yes sit down oh I hit the basket are you kidding me holy crap a2s are stable ladies and gentlemen 280 up this Gap going F5 letting the hill take it up to the left yep I’ve learned on this hole the more understable the less power you got to
Put on it and that just helps you control and hit the Gap better all right another birdie look here about 20 feet should just be able to knock this one down bang it’s so similar to my putter so similar I’m currently fighting daylight here it’s about 4:30 as I’m
Recording got about like 40 minutes left so we’re going to we’re going to grind throughout these last holes try to give you all 18 and we’re going to send you back to the room give you my full review on everything three going to take the A2 just get out of the
Gap and around the corner oh my gosh okay I keep underestimating how overstable that disc is soon as I left that out of my hand it wants to get down to the ground it’s kind of it’s kind of ridiculous was not my best effort off the te a I threw it low
Okay maybe we can save a par okay I’m just trying to save par and I don’t want to throw a sidearm so I’m going to throw the F5 yet again going to throw it flat to let it turn over oh my God I almost died hey look at that thing fly
Though oh my God that hurt oh that hurt okay got a lack of situation awareness because I’m right beside a creek and the Fairway is flooded and I forgot to think about my footing so I had to suffer the consequences and yeah did get far enough up to where I
Can just chip up take a par move on super smooth that’s a par all right survived the par on that one whole four got a Deep Creek that’s out of bounds so the game plan don’t lose a disc we’re going to go on a Hiser and the basket’s up there to the
Left oh the M4 man man well we lost that M4 so um if you’re in the Burlington area there’s an M4 without any name or number on it so guess if you find it either text me or just keep it Merry Christmas not only do we not have that M4 anymore
It’s a lost disc penalty so that’s awesome going take a drop here throw in three F5 okay well that’s great did all that work and lose it disc going to take a big number going to go pa5 and hope to save the bogey on this hole oh I slipped again but we’re
Pushing come back oh Dar I hope you all saw that I only had one goal on this hole and did not lose it disc and I lose one in a puddle that’s normally never there and my name and number isn’t on it because it’s my first time throwing these discs
So it’s really a bummer man super bummer doing a daring bag on put oh snucker in there whole five is 250 ft down the hill you have a creek that’s out of bounds behind it I like going with the sidearm and just letting it fizzle out right because it opens up
Pretty well so we’re going to go with this A5 little toss yep exactly how I drew it up so I don’t typically throw those low profile approach discs like the A5 A2 Zone Toro whatever the heck else they make um um I like those more putter style discs
Like the AVR X3 that’s my go-to um Harp’s another good one but so A5 is good I think I got a bad I think I got a fluke one just because of that Dome if it was flat or puddle topped you could convert me into throwing the
A5 um but I’m going to stick with what I’ve got right now A5 is a really good disc though if you get a flat one oh my days sometimes they fall sometimes you pull them so we took a PA on the last one this is another this is a soft par
Five uh it’s pretty easy eable shot it’s not in the game plan at all but you can do it going to take the FX4 and just throw a flick get over the creek objective one get over the creek I don’t want to lose another one one
Today and we striped it big skip nope dead skip but maybe maybe the eagle is in play someone who’s never really thrown Prodigy and I’ve just heard a lot of slander about them and they make pretty good stuff fellas go pick up some try it out for yourself I haven’t really
Complained about anything besides that Dome on the A5 and that happens with any disc at any manufacturer wouldn’t hurt yourself to try it out before you bash it Premier distance for the eagle going with the D3 here we’re just throwing it and letting the disc choose how it wants to get to the
Basket sit or go in nice oh sit down are you kidding me dude that was pure until it rolled away B Be control if there was ever a time to make a putt with a putter that’s not yours this is the time Eagle oh my God dude okay well it’s
Proven that you can do it with discs that aren’t yours I just didn’t do that today hole 7475 par 4 get past these trees bends left cool green it’s got a slope on one side flat spot on the other I kind of just Envision the same shot as hole
Two and that’s all I’m trying to do smooth Heiser F5 hey all right got lucky hit a tree back in the Fairway scramble pinched off going and go A5 flick and it should just kind of work its way down and do its magic there was really nothing
There going to take the D3 and try to Ace this hole it’s rolling guys oh no oh no okay well I was 10 feet and now I’m probably 40 I thought I had a sick drive and then this happens so don’t throw 13 speeds on Hills ring up the chains for birie
Oh dag nabbit one more hole all right last hole till we get back to the office 250 got left and right Gap I like the right gap on a sidearm and you can’t really see the basket you just got to trust me all right FX4 you’ve been good to me all around
Pure okay well starting to get that little flip up and push super nice with that flip up and push it’s really good flight just not for that hole in particular but really sneaky good sidearm disc the FX4 um I’ve only found like one or two discs that fly like that really had one
Disc that flies like that and it was the uh Vision Tesla from MVP see if we can finish the round out with a birdie that would be pretty sweet Dude that disc is kind of good that’s that’s enlightening yeah what the heck all right that’s it for the round let’s go back to the office and talk about how I think about all these discs are flying which ones I liked which ones I didn’t and my overall thoughts on
Prodigy um pa3 really grew on me I throw KC avrs and it’s just like a thinner thinner profile here’s the pa5 it was really soft and shallow good grip pretty tacky and flightwise it was really neutral just throw it on higher it’s going to flip up
Ride the wind here we have Tailwind on all these shots and it’s which is pretty good next Up’s the pa3 this is in 300 plastic it’s got a little give But now this is a great flyer holds a lot of torque and it’s pretty stable A5 Z next I was pretty bummed with the bubble Dome if this was flat or a little concave it’d be really good on a sidearm so just look out for one of those flightwise it’s a straighter approach
Shot I like a more straighter disc for approaches compared to next the A2 and this one is insanely overstable and it’s very gummy so if you like a gummy feel grab a 400 A2 or any 400 series disc I would say and flightwise here I could have
Thrown this on an any flex and it would have still come out granted really good disc highly recommend next is the M4 unfortunately I lost this feel wise it was super consistent had a good grip every single time and this is just your Dependable mid-range that you can throw on any line
Just a great disc all around highly recommend it after my one round throwing it M2 is next it’s it’s a lot stiffer than the 750 plastic but you still have give to dig your thumb into it flightwise it’s about the same as the M4 that I had but I could really pop
It and I threw this one a bit low but just rides the line you put on F5 is next this is 500 plastic this is really soft and grippy but what I found with the F5 is it comes out of your hand so fast and so clean just a super good neutral
Disc really good for higher flips or Turnovers FX4 this was a Workhorse really good sidearm disc I really like the feel of it first couple throws it came out early but once I figured it out game changer really really good and especially a good flight right out of the box All right on to the big boys we got the D3 this had a good amount of Dome wasn’t slick I mean I was just digging into it really good grip and I personally think all the amateures that throw destroyers and nukes they need to grab one of these
Cuz this gets good turn and it always has a consistent fade and when it’s windy just step right on up to the D2 feels pretty much identical to the D3 but it has that extra highspeed stability so it can fight a headwind very easily tried ripping into this one that
Tailwind just shows you how stable it can Become need a no one tried be for the
