Prodigy Disc
SKU: DG-PDG-500-MX2 (REF2627-3)
Description
The Prodigy 500 MX-2 midrange is a torque-resistant overstable midrange, 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 forehands and predictable fades. If you're shopping for a dependable MX-2 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 MX-2 is an overstable midrange highly resistant to torque. Its beadless design gives a clean grip for all hand sizes, with predictable flight and consistent fade, and it's one of the easier midranges to forehand.
Stability
The MX-2 is 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 suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.

| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
