Prodigy A5 - Stable Approach Disc

The Prodigy A5 is a stable putt and approach disc that stands out for its smooth edges and consistent, stable finish. With flight numbers of 3/4/-1/1, it maintains a straight path for the majority of its flight, making it accessible for players of all skill levels.

Out of the box, the A5 starts off slightly overstable, maturing into a straight flyer with use. Its shallow profile and flat top make it ideal for sidearm approaches. Its ability to handle torque well ensures a mild finish and prevents excessive skipping upon landing.

Notably, the A5 is well-suited for backhand and forehand flex shots, with a flight rating closer to 4-3-0-2 than Prodigy's listed rating below.

Overall, the A5 is a versatile, reliable disc that offers a unique blend of feel, stability, and control. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, the A5 could be a transformative addition to your disc golf bag.
