Then I need a controlled backhand approach I pull this one out of the bag. Slight flip up out of the hand and glides wonderfully. I love this disc for my longer approaches that the a1-3 are just a bit too stable to stay flat enough long enough.

I really enjoyed throwing the A4 from Prodigy, it reminded me of those great Classic Rocs that used to be in production. The dis has a nice flat profile that fits comfortably in the hand with a clean release. The flight is nice and straight with a little fade at the end. Although this is in the Putter category, this is more like a short midrange disc. I was able to push this out to some decent distances. If you are looking for a controllable approach disc, give the A4 a try. 

I messed up in ratings.. I give the A-$ total props with a 6!!!

The A-4 is exactly what I was looking for in an approach disc Due to it's consistent over stability, I found this disc to be a great 150ish Anny approach around a tree etc... It will hold a 200ft ish all around anny ( my power level),before fading out to drone. By drone, I mean just drop straight to the ground after it has spent it's energy. Intermediate disc.!!
