SKU: DG-PDG-500-F3 (REF2631-5)
Description
The Prodigy 500 F3 fairway driver is a stable fairway driver for all skill levels, molded in 500 plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on long, controllable flights with a mild finish. If you're shopping for a dependable F3 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 F3 is a stable fairway driver for long, controllable flights with a mild finish, and it's a great disc for all skill levels.
Stability
The F3 is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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. This run is rated 8/5/-2/2, while most F3 listings are rated 7/5/-1/2. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
