This is an OS approach disc like the Zone, but not quite as OS as a Zone. It's beefy, frankly beefy enough to get the job done for most people, but it has a bit more glide and stays in the air a tad longer than a Zone. That bit of extra glide may cause a slight loss of control, but I still think it's close enough to the zone to do it's job just fine. It's also has a slightly deeper and more squared off feeling rim than a Zone, but I think that difference is fairly nominal as well. The 400 plastic I got mine in is excellent. Durable but grippy and slightly gummy. It keeps it from having a ton of ground play after it lands, but the plastic will also last just about forever. Awesome disc!

As it has been already been said, but this is prodigy's version of a zone. I actually prefer the distortion because it is a little deeper feeling and slightly less overstable. I've noticed that the more dome they have, the more overstable the tend to be. 
 

I use the distortion in tandem with the A2, I'll throw the distortion for big anhyzer forehands and it doesn't fight out, where the A2 will. I love throwing this for flat backhands full power and forehand approachs. I've always loved the feel of the 400 plastic and never clicked with a zone, so this has been perfect for that slot.

I have always mostly bagged MVP produced discs but as a huge fan of Kevin Jones, I had to try out this disc. It was really nice! I loved the way the plastic felt and the flight was nice too. It flew similar to a Zone or a Harp but with better glide and slightly softer finish. Unfortunately, I lost it in the tall grass near the end of my one and only round with it.

Perfect Slot-Filler!

The approach section of my bag was lacking some magic for a while... I didn't know what the solution was until I put both an A2 and this Distortion in my bag. They compliment each other so well! When choosing between the two, I pretty much just think, "Okay, do I want this shot to have more glide, or just immediately fade and bite the ground..." The Distortion has just enough glide (a touch more glide than a zone) that it will go a decent distance, but still have enough overstability that it'll reliably get to the ground when you need it to. The A2 on the other hand, is basically like having a Firebird as an approach disc... I love it!!! I actually just threw in an 120ft skip shot with my A2 about a week ago. I love throwing both of these discs with backhand and forehand!

The distortion is 100% the Prodigy's version of a zone. I felt like the hand feel was one of the closest to the zone, the flight was almomst an exact match to the zone, and the abilities of this disc match what you want out of a zone. I think the 400 plastic is one of the best, if not the best, plastic that Prodigy is making right now. It is gummy but not overly gummy and stiff enough to get a great grip on every throw. I think they hit it with this disc and I know a lot of people will gravitate towards this disc. If you throw zones or other zone type discs but want to try a prodigy version check out the distortion. I think they were best for any approach shot where you need an anhyzer forehand or just a regular hyzer backhand or forehand within 150 feet. It can get some ground action if you need it but it does not like to skip crazy hard if you land it flat.

The Distortion is a slim, stable approach disc. For me, this filled the slot the Dynamic Discs Suspect used to be in- not a meaty overstable disc, but a jack-of-all approach disc.
It is slim in the hand, beadless, and comfortable to grip for backhand and forehand. Mine is a mango color with a slight puddle top. 

Flights:
On a flat backhand, I can throw full without worry of it turning. That said, when thrown with more power, I noticed less fade. When I powered down for approaches (125 ft or less), the fade was much more present. On a slight anhyzer it can drift more.. but it will still fight out of it. Honestly, its a great tweener throwing putter! 
On a forehand, flight is a little more variable. To me, that's a great thing. Thrown flat will produce a little turn (thought that could be me), anhyzer will drift BUT will fight back and give a great mini flex line. Hyzer as expected will hold most of the line, but may flip up a tad. 

How does it compare?
I've used the Entropy, Zone, and Anvil. I'd say all of those are fairly more overstable than the Distortion. However, I love the Distortion for this reason, it can be used for a greater variety of shots then something just "overstable". Personally, I bag a Terminal Velocity Ursas for my overstable needs, but this approach disc is perfect for my game in what I use it for. Give it a try if you're looking for approach disc needs and want to support KJ USA!

A perfect approach disc in 400 plastic. FH releases are clean and BH with this is even better. Similar HSS to a beat in A2, but finishes nice and soft instead of the A2's heavy fade. Love it!

The new Prodigy Distortion is a really nice overstable approach disc. This 400 plastic blend of the first runs feels really good, and seems to be a little bit softer than other 400 plastics.

The Distortion to no surprise is pretty similar to the ultra popular Discraft Zone. It is a small diamater approach disc with a nice flat top. The Distortion has some nice overstability to it that make it really consistent. It is excellent for both backhand and forehand approach shots. 

Recently, I've been throwing the Clash Discs Mint a Lot. Compared with the Mint, the Distortion is noticeably more overstable, and does not flip up to flat for me at all. When I accidentally release it at an anhyzer angle, the Distortion still comes back with a strong fading finish. 

The Distortion is sure to be a very popular bag addition to Prodigy fans looking for the more traditional Zone-Like feel in an approach disc.
