Introducing Fractal - The New Plastic Aesthetic From Prodigy

Fractal is the new visual treatment in the Prodigy plastic lineup, joining Spectrum, Glimmer, and GLOW as an additional aesthetic variation.

Fractal line discs utilize a new proprietary processing technique splashing colors in a complex motif that can trick the eye into seeing patterns while each element remains distinctive and abstract. It’s calming, chaotic, and completely one-of-a-kind.

Fractal discs are launching February 2024 in our 300, 300 Soft, and 300 Firm plastic.

200 plastic is great for entry-level players looking to get into the game, as well as experienced players who love to fine-tune their discs by working them in just the way they like. 

The feel of 200 plastic brings a new dimension to our line-up, as it’s similar to our 300 plastic but less tacky.

Recommended For: 

• New Players
• Extra Practice Putters

300 plastic has been developed for optimum feel and grip for putters, approach discs, and midrange discs, and would be considered our baseline plastic. The blend of materials is durable enough to take a solid impact and maintain its flight characteristics while still having the ability to be broken in with regular use. 

In addition to the standard 300 plastic, we also offer 300 Soft and 300 Firm plastic variations. 300 Soft is much more flexible, making it able to absorb more impact and produce less ground play on approach shots and putts. 300 Firm was formerly known as 350G plastic, and players looking for a clean release on putts often prefer this stiffer blend. Many professionals putt with 300 Firm plastic.

Recommended For: 

• Putters
• Midranges and Approach discs you want to “season” or cycle

400 plastic is a premium blend of materials that is extremely durable and gives the thrower an impeccable grip, even when it is wet. It is the most popular Prodigy plastic across the entire lineup of discs. 

While 400 plastic is often known for its translucent properties, which catch the sunlight well for pronounced colors in the daytime, it can also be more opaque. 400 plastic has a stiff rim and more “pop” when you flex the center of the disc.

Recommended For: 

• Wet conditions
• Maximum distance drivers

500 plastic is a premium blend that has a less gummy feel than 400 plastic. This provides you with an extremely confident grip and a stiffer flight plate, balancing just the right amount of flex and firmness. 500 plastic has a uniquely pearlescent finish which adds another visual element to each disc.
 

Recommended For:

• Great looking discs
• Heavy woods

750 plastic is a premium blend that is similar in grip and texture to our 400 plastic but with a firmer feel. This high-tech blend of resins provides outstanding performance and predictability, and is extremely durable. 

The rigidity of 750 plastic makes it great for hot weather, as it retains a good firmness even as it heats up and becomes more pliable. 

Recommended For: 

• Hot rounds - weather and scoring
• Built to take a beating

AIR plastic is a premium blend based on our revolutionary 400 plastic base resin and has been modified to create durable, lightweight discs. The grip, feel, and performance of AIR plastic produce the highest-quality discs in lower weights on the market.

Lightweight discs in AIR plastic are engineered for the same shot performance as their heavier counterparts, with added glide for effortless and easy distance. Some of the best disc golf discs for beginners are lightweight, but more experienced players will also see the benefit and utility of throwing discs in a lower weight. 

Recommended For: 

• Extra distance
• Effortless flights

Special Blend plastic is a premium formulation that offers a firm yet extremely smooth feel in the hand, with high-caliber durability. Special Blend was created as an homage to the highly sought-after "Test" plastic from the early years of Prodigy manufacturing.

Special Blend plastic is reserved for special edition discs and produced in limited batches. It feels most similar to 750 plastic. 

Recommended For:
