Prodigy Disc Golf PA-1 400 Alden Harris 2022 Signature Putter 3/3/0/2 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Prodigy 400 PA-1 putter is an overstable putt and approach disc, molded in 400 plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on consistent putts in all wind. This listing is the Alden Harris Signature Series release of the PA-1.
400 Plastic
400 is Prodigy's most popular plastic, a premium blend that's extremely durable with an impeccable grip, even when wet. It's often translucent to catch the sunlight, though it can be more opaque, and it has a stiff rim with more "pop" when you flex the center.
The Mold
The PA-1 is designed to be overstable, and its consistent flight path makes it a favorite for players looking for reliability in all wind conditions.
Stability
The PA-1 is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 3 | Slow putter speed, easy to control without much power. |
| Glide | 3 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
