Prodigy Disc
SKU: DG-PDG-400-D4 (REF2356-4)
Description
The Prodigy 400 D4 distance driver is a very fast, understable D-series driver, molded in 400 plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on long glide and gentle turning finishes. If you're shopping for a dependable D4 for your bag, this 400 run is a great place to start.
400 Plastic
400 is Prodigy's most popular plastic, a premium blend that's extremely durable with an impeccable grip, even when wet. It's often translucent to catch the sunlight, though it can be more opaque, and it has a stiff rim with more "pop" when you flex the center.
The Mold
The D4 is a very fast, understable driver designed for all players that flies extremely far. It turns up when thrown hard, then reacts like the D3 with long glide and a gentle turning finish.
Stability
The D4 is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
