    The F9, proudly presented by Prodigy Disc, stands as their most understable fairway driver.

    Deliberately crafted to cater to beginners or players with lower arm speed, the F9 excels in executing hyzerflip shots or displaying minimal low-speed fade. It also serves as an excellent disc for those venturing into the art of throwing rollers.

    The F9 boasts a narrower rim width, allowing players with smaller hands to achieve a more secure grip. For aspiring disc golfers, including children and beginners, the F9 transforms into a maximum distance driver that effortlessly produces an impressive full-flex S-curve flight at lower speeds. Furthermore, seasoned players can utilize the F9 for low-effort turnover shots, effortlessly bending the disc around corners and obstacles.

    To be honest, I picked this up out of curiosity. It has greatly surpassed my expectations and instantly found a place in my bag. It is the most understable disc I have ever bagged. However, as long as you are not playing in the wind, it is still controllable with good form as long as you do not try to overpower it. I have found many uses for it in the wooded courses that I typically play. I have never found a disc that could so easily do a soft turnover and glide out 280 with just an easy and smooth throw. The glide is legit as long as you know how to keep the disc in the air. I have always loved throwing understable discs and I have been having a blast throwing this. Just put this thing on the correct hyzer throw and watch it create magical lines. 

    I think the numbers are spot on with this disc at 8  6  -4  .5. The one possible debated number would be the .5. This disc is definitely not for everyone, but if you love really flippy discs, like I do, this one is a gem.

    Love this disc. Throw it hard with a little bit of hyzer and just a little bit of extra height and it will flip up to flat and then gently turn over and hold that line for quite a long time before ever so gently fading at the end. As a predominantly RHBH player, this disc has come in very handy plenty of times for typically forehand holes. Fun disc to learn hyzer flips with!

    I was amazed how much glide this disc has. Great woods disc. I thought it was going to be too flippy, I was surprised how straight it flies. A must for any bag.

    I love very understable discs, and the Prodigy F9 is VERY understable, right out of the box, even at 175grams. This disc is flippy for me even at 50% power and has some reallly good glide to it.  The F9 has hardly any end of flight fade which is fun. I can get 300 feet of distance with the F9 at very low power, but it's hard to get much more distance than that without it flipping over and turning into a roller. If I throw it at a sharp hyzer and very high then I can probably push it to about 320 if I get the angle and height just right.  This is the most understable disc I've ever seen released by the major brands, and only Divergent and Yikun have drivers that are as comparably flippy. 

    The 500 plastic looks and feels really good and the manufacturing qulity of the F9 looks flawless. 

    Entering disc golf from an ultimate frisbee background, there is just something natural about always releasing discs on a Hyzer Angle. It's very hard for me to release anhyzer or even flat, and thus very understable discs are useful for a variety of different shots. 
    -Shots where you want the disc to flip and turn right even when throwing high and nose up.
    -Shots where you want a hyzer flip at low power. 
    -When you can't forehand.
    -Extreme Tailwinds.
    -You are young, old, or just don't throw very far.

    Now because the Prodigy F9 is so understable, it is definitely not the most consistent disc to throw in a wide open field for any intermediate or advanced player.

    If your max throwing distance is less than 200 feet, can only release on hyzer angles, or if you're looking for a disc that will allow for easy turnovers, try the Prodigy F9.
