The Prodigy 400 A3 is an overstable approach disc with a beaded rim built to hold up on hard forehand releases, and 400 plastic is Prodigy's standard grippy blend for it.

Flight Numbers: 4 / 4 / 0 / 3

400 plastic is stiff, durable, and grippy in nearly any weather without feeling tacky. It takes a long time to soften, so the strong fade you get out of the box sticks around for a long stretch of rounds, which makes this a reliable choice if you hate re-buying putters every season. The wide beaded rim adds a little extra grip for forehand releases compared to a beadless approach disc.

Thrown with power this disc crashes hard at the end of its flight instead of gliding out, which is exactly what players looking to fill a gap between a stable midrange and a full overstable putter want. On a big sweeping hyzer it holds the angle and drops fast, and into wind it barely turns at all. It works best as a scramble disc, an upshot into a guarded green, or a specialty forehand approach for players who already have a big arm. New players may find it fades too hard for standard putting; save it for approach shots until your power catches up.
