The Prodigy Distortion 500 is Kevin Jones's signature overstable approach disc, and it plays close enough to a Discraft Zone that plenty of players use it as a straight swap.

Flight Numbers: 4 / 3 / 0 / 3

500 is Prodigy's firm, pearlescent premium plastic. The flight plate is stiffer and less gummy than 400, and the slim, beadless profile stays comfortable in the hand for both forehand and backhand approach grips.

It flies straight with a hard fade at the end, reliable and consistent throw after throw. The hand feel and flight both land close to a Zone, close enough that it works as a second option in the same slot rather than a straight replacement.

Intermediate and advanced players who already like a Zone-style approach disc but want it from Prodigy's own line will feel at home here. It works equally well as a forehand or backhand upshot disc.

Same mold, different plastic: the Prodigy Distortion 400 is grippier and breaks in faster. If you already bag a Discraft ESP Zone, this is worth trying as a second option with a similar flight. See more in the Distortion collection.
