SKU: DG-PDG-400G-M5-TOR (REF2879-3)
Description
The Prodigy 400 Glow M5 midrange is an understable, controllable midrange, molded in 400 Glow plastic. It's built for newer players and anyone who wants easy distance and turnovers, and it's at its best on turnovers and shot shaping. This listing is the Torchlight release of the M5.
400 Glow 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. GLOW lets you charge the disc in light and play in the dark.
The Mold
The M5 is an understable midrange for any player, adding new shot shapes to the M-series with understable yet controllable flights, impressive glide, and a smooth feel. It flies like a seasoned M4 out of the box.
Stability
The M5 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.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 5 | Midrange speed that rewards smooth form over raw power. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 0.5 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
