F9
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.

F7
The Prodigy F7 is a very understable fairway driver that is great for beginners. This medium-speed driver is available in Prodigy’s 400 series plastic and utilizes Easy Release technology. Prodigy recommends this disc for recreational players, turnover shots, and rollers.
Please note that the F7 was originally released as a 7 speed disc, but in 2023 Prodigy updated the numbers to reflect what they felt was a more accurate flight. There was not a physical change to the mold, but that's why there may be differences in the numbers stamped on the disc.

F5
The Prodigy F5 is a straight-flying fairway driver that's not quite as understable as the current F7. At 1.9cm tall, the F5 is significantly taller than the existing fairway drivers, which all have a height of 1.5cm. This disc is very domey and has a wing length, or rim width of 1.8cm, just like all the other Prodigy fairways.

D4
The D4 is a slightly understable distance driver in the Prodigy line. This disc is an amazingly far distance driver for intermediate players, and disc golfers with moderate arm speed. Even beginners and amateurs will have moments where they can make this disc sail. The glide this disc offers is excellent and it has a very limited end-of-flight fade. The D4 has a soft beveled rim that allows for a smoother, more comfortable release. Some credit the longer flight to the more efficient inner rim. This disc, like the other drivers in the Prodigy line, has very similar dimensions and the same rim width (2.3 cm). By getting used to similar feeling discs that react differently, disc golfers should be able to throw more consistently and can choose their specific distance driver based on the shot they face.

H4 V2
The H4 V2 is the retooled H4 in Prodigy's line of Hybrid Drivers. It is an excellent choice for players of all skill levels. Like the other retooled hybrid drivers, the H4 V2 has a slightly shallower rim and a sharper nose than the original H4, offering a more comfortable grip along with increased speed and glide. With a smooth high-speed turn and a soft, gentle finish, the slightly understable flight fills the hole between the H3 V2 and the H5.

H3 V2
The Prodigy Disc H3 V2 is a speed-11 Control Driver that has been built similarly to the original H3 to create an improved and superior disc. Like the original H3, this H3 V2 is stable to slightly overstable, depending on the thrower’s arm strength. The H3 V2 sports an upgraded shape from the original H3, with a slightly shallower rim depth, offering an easier grip, and an new outside rim that allows for a consistent, yet faster flight with more glide. This allows the player to achieve more distance, while maintaining dependability and a slightly over stable finish. The H3 V2 can handle any weather condition, and is an excellent choice for backhand and side arm throwers.

FX-3
The FX-3 is a stable and highly controllable disc, capable of holding a large variety of different lines. This mold has a little bit of a wider rim than other fairway drivers. This provides a noticeably longer glide in the flight. The FX-3 is capable of holding the anhyzer line for long enough before it'll finish off with a fade. It also can hold a hyzer line with ease. With enough power, this disc will hyzer flip nicely and finish with a reliable fade at the end.
