Prodigy Disc
SKU: DG-PDG-500-D2 (REF2633-2)
Description
The Prodigy 500 D2 distance driver is a very fast, reliable overstable driver for strong throwers, molded in 500 plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on long drives with minimal side-to-side movement. If you're shopping for a dependable D2 for your bag, this 500 run is a great place to start.
500 Plastic
500 is a premium blend with a less gummy feel than 400, giving an extremely confident grip and a stiffer flight plate that balances flex and firmness. Its uniquely pearlescent finish adds another visual element, and it's a great choice for heavy woods.
The Mold
The D2 is a very fast, overstable driver for strong throwers, just slightly less stable than the D1. It's good in all conditions, flies as well into the wind as with it, and has the least side-to-side movement of any driver on the market, equally long, more forgiving, and with a much gentler finish than the D1.
Stability
The D2 is stable-to-overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best for intermediate to advanced players with good arm speed.
Flight Numbers

| Turn | -0.5 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
