Advanced players will like the MX-2 for long approaches and shots off the tee they need to fade into a landing zone. The overstability will also produce forced flex shots when thrown with an anhyzer.
The MX-2 is an overstable midrange highly resistant to torque. The beadless design provides a clean grip for all hand sizes, ensuring a smooth release to go with predictable flight and consistent fade. You’ll find it is one of the easier midranges to forehand.
MX-2 Flight Numbers
5 | 4 | 0 | 3
The MX-2 was originally released as an exclusive model for Prodigy Club members in the Q3 2023 box, and member feedback was taken to confirm flight numbers and the official name of the disc.
For those familiar with our M Series midrange discs, the MX Series midranges are slightly smaller in diameter and slimmer in profile. The MX-2 packs a similar stability to the M1, but with more glide and a later fade in its flight path. It is slightly more overstable than the Isaac Robinson Archive and has a more rounded edge to the rim than an Archive or MX-1.
What The Pros Says About The MX-2
"The MX-2 feels a lot like the A5 in your hand but it is able to push farther down the fairway," said Luke Humphries. "It's great to have a disc that feels the same but flies differently."
"It's a good midrange for sidearm throwers. They'll find it goes pretty straight but has a fade and is very versatile," said Aidan Scott. "Backhand power throwers can also get nice anhyzer flex lines."

Prodigy Disc Naming System Explained
The Prodigy Disc naming system is designed to help players determine what disc they should be considering to fill any shot they need quickly and easily.
The system works just as well for someone walking into the store who has never thrown one of our discs, to players who have been using these discs for more than a decade. You always know where to start in the lineup. Prodigy’s naming system is slightly unconventional compared to other disc golf manufacturers but is extremely easy to learn.
Disc model names start with a letter representing the Series of disc, followed by a number designating the disc’s stability, or expected flight path. For example, the fan-favorite M4 is a neutral-flying midrange disc.
What does the Letter stand for on Prodigy discs?
There are currently seven Series of disc categories in the Prodigy lineup. Going from the lowest speed discs and moving up, we have the PA Series for Putt & Approach discs, A Series for Approach discs, M Series for Midrange discs, F Series for Fairway drivers, H Series for Hybrid drivers, D Series for Distance drivers, and X Series for Extra Speed Distance drivers. Additionally, as our lineup has grown, we have introduced the PX, MX, and FX Series, which are slightly faster versions of the PA, M, and F Series discs.
What does the Number stand for on Prodigy discs?
Following the Series designation, the number in the model name represents the stability of the flight path. Our models range from 1 to 9 with '1' being the most overstable, which means the disc fades hardest to the left for a right-hand backhand player, and '9' being the most understable, meaning the most movement left-to-right in flight and least amount of fade. Using our most popular midrange as an example again, the 4 in M4 means that it falls in the middle of our stability rating, making it straight to slightly understable. Beginner-level players are recommended to try discs in the 4 and higher number range.
Stability will also depend on the Series and model range. While an M4 is straight to understable, an A4 and A5 are straight to slightly overstable, because A Series approach discs are designed to be more overstable as a category of disc.
Regardless, the number system remains accurate across each Series - 1 will always be more overstable than 9. We are constantly refining and building out our lineup, therefore some numbers may be missing within a Series.
