FX-4 - Fairway driver with Xtra speed
The Prodigy FX-4 is a fast, stable to slightly under-stable fairway driver.
With a wider rim than Prodigy's F series, it gains more speed and gets further down the fairway.
In flight, it will have neutral to slightly under-stable characteristics depending on your arm speed.
Power players will see some movement to the right (right-handed backhand), while lower arm speeds will get a straight drive with a soft finish.
400 plastic gives you good grip even when wet
Prodigy's 400 Plastic is a premium blend of materials that is extremely durable.
The unique blend of plastics feels as good as it looks and will come into play over time.
This tour quality plastic gives the thrower a really good grip, even when wet.
What does FX-4 mean?
Prodigy has very logical names for their Discs.
F= Fairway Driver, X= Extra length and 4= 1-7 indicates how over or under stable the disc is.
A low number means over-stable and the higher the number the more under-stable the disc is.
Over- or under-stable
Over- or under-stable explains whether the disc goes right or left for right-handed backhand throwers.
Add turn + Fade, if the sum is below 0 the disc is under-stable.
If the sum is 0, it is a neutral disc and if the sum is over 1, the disc is overstable.
Understable = Right, Neutral = Straight, Overstable = Left.
If you are left-handed it is the other way around, also applies to a right-handed person throwing forehand.
As a beginner, you should have an under-stable disc with low weight.
