by
Prodigy Disc
SKU: DG-PDG-500-M3 (REF1133-5)
Description
The Prodigy 500 M3 midrange is an extremely reliable stable midrange, molded in 500 plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on mid shots that finish left (RHBH). If you're shopping for a dependable M3 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 M3 is an extremely reliable midrange, stable for moderate-power throwers and for players who need a disc that finishes left (RHBH) with incredible consistency and control. It flies well in all wind conditions.
Stability
The M3 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. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.

FAQ
Is the Prodigy M3 good for beginners?
Yes. It's built for moderate-power throwers.
