Description

This is the first time the A5 approach disc has been made available in 400 GLOW plastic and with a stock stamp.

Stamp color may vary. Shade of disc color may vary.

The Prodigy A5 is a slightly overstable approach disc that will work in to be a straight flyer. It has a nice, smooth feel with a shallow profile and flat top, which makes it ideal for sidearm approaches. It can handle torque well and has a mild finish on the end, so it won't skip too far from where it lands.

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.

Great disc with touch

The A5 can handle forehand hyzer approaches without turning over while also holding an anhyzer line for great escape scramble shots. It has a touch less fade than a Zone and because of that is useful in more situations for me.

I really like having a straighter option to complement my beefy approach disc for forehand shots, and normally have achieved this by beating in base-plastic. And while this is a viable option, I have been wanting a disc that had these flight characteristics in a premium plastic such that it would hold that sweet spot for longer.

This is that disc.

This A5 carries farther than my beefy approach disc and has a really nice straight flight with a predictable fade at the end (~1 month of use). It is also surprisingly torque-resistant.

The disc I got was penned 177g, scaled 176.5g, and puddle-top (yay!). The plastic is pretty gummy but not excessively soft. I normally prefer more firm discs, but this feels so good in the hand, and being an approach disc, the gummy characteristic can actually be desirable to limit ground-play (especially for a straighter option where you are probably taking more aggressive lines).

But while I got this disc to use for forehands, it is not just a utility disc. The A5 is really good for backhands. It has a flight similar to what you'd expect from something like a Jawbreaker Zone for forehands and a premium plastic Envy for backhands. In other words, it is a phenomenal disc that can probably fill multiple slots in your bag for your short game.
