SKU: DG-PDG-400M4NHL-VINT (REF428-1)
Description
The Prodigy 400 M4 midrange is an extremely reliable understable midrange, 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 soft, straight finishes. This listing is the NHL Vintage Collection release of the M4. It celebrates NHL history with vintage team logos on a white 400 M4.
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 M4 is an extremely reliable understable midrange designed for all players that flies extremely far for a mid. It turns up when thrown hard, then has an extra-long glide and a soft, straight finish.
Stability
The M4 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 | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
