The Prodigy A2 200 is the beadless, budget version of the A1, an overstable approach disc built for upshots you do not want turning over in the wind. It shares the family's stubborn fade at a friendlier price.

Flight Numbers: 4 / 2 / 0 / 4

200 is Prodigy's most affordable line. It feels less tacky in the hand than 400 or 500 but still grips fine in dry conditions, and it wears in faster, which means it will pick up a bit more glide and a touch less fade after a season of tree hits and fairway abuse.

The extra glide over the A1 shows up on the course, this one carries 30 to 40 feet further for the same release. The beadless rim makes for a smooth release on both backhand and forehand, and it holds up in headwinds without turning over. Most A2s come with a flat top, though some runs have a bit more dome.

Intermediate and advanced power throwers use it to avoid turning over upshots in gusty conditions. The low price also makes it a fine practice disc for a new player learning to control an overstable approach shot before spending more on premium plastic.
