The Prodigy Air D4 is an understable distance driver made in Prodigy's lightweight Air plastic, built to give slower arms real distance without giving up control.

Flight Numbers: 12 / 5 / -2 / 2

Air plastic is lighter than standard 400 or 400G while keeping a similar grippy, gummy feel, so the disc turns over more easily at lower arm speeds and still holds up fine to normal wear. The soft beveled rim makes for a smooth, comfortable release, and that inner rim shape is part of why this mold glides as far as it does.

Thrown flat it wants to turn over and hold a wide, gliding line before a gentle fade brings it home, which is what makes it such a strong hyzer flip driver for intermediate arms. Into a headwind it will still turn over and fight back with a small fade at the end rather than dumping hard. Newer players and disc golfers with a moderate arm speed get real distance here, and it also rewards a bigger arm looking for maximum glide on a wide open hole.

Want this same shape in a heavier, more standard plastic? The Prodigy 400 D4 holds up to more power. Looking for a comparable understable driver from another brand? The Discraft ESP Nuke is worth a look too. Browse the rest of our understable distance drivers.
