The Prodigy A1 300 is a very overstable putt and approach disc built for wind and for players who want a shot that refuses to turn over. It is molded in 300, Prodigy's base line plastic, so it comes in at the lowest price point in the A1 family.

Flight Numbers: 4 / 2 / 0 / 5

In the field it flies closer to 4 speed, 2.4 glide, 0 turn, and 3.9 fade, a hair less meathook than the box promises, though still one of the more overstable approach discs Prodigy makes. 300 is Prodigy's affordable, basic-grade plastic, grippy enough for most conditions, though it beats in a little faster than the premium grades.

Throw it into a headwind at full power and it still fades hard to the ground instead of turning over. Distance is short by design, once the spin dies down it drops fast, which is exactly what you want on an upshot onto a sloped green where a flippier disc would roll away. It also handles forced turnover approach shots, since it takes real effort to send it anywhere but straight and down.

Best for advanced and power throwers who need a dependable overstable disc for tight fairway approaches, tricky outs around obstacles, and short-range shots in gusty conditions. New players will find it stubborn until their release speed catches up to it.

Throwing into wind a lot? Compare the Prodigy A1 400 for a longer-lasting, grippier version of the same beef, or step up to the Prodigy A1 500 for a stiffer flight plate. See every option in the A1 collection.
