Prodigy Disc
SKU: DG-PDG-400-D3 (REF377-14)
Description
The Prodigy 400 D3 distance driver is a very fast, moderately stable driver with a unique flight, molded in 400 plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on long flip-and-glide distance. If you're shopping for a dependable D3 for your bag, this 400 run is a great place to start.
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 D3 is a very fast, moderately stable driver designed for all players that flies extremely far. It can flip up and glide without the extreme drift right or the hard finish back left.
Stability
The D3 is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 for intermediate to advanced players with good arm speed.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 12 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Prodigy D3 good for beginners?
Not as a first driver. At 12 speed, the D3 needs good arm speed to fly as intended.
Is the Prodigy D3 overstable?
Not really. The D3 is stable, rated 12/5/-1/3, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between 400 and 500 plastic?
400 is durable and grippy, great when wet. 500 is less gummy with a stiffer flight plate and a pearlescent finish.
What disc is similar to the Prodigy D3?
The Prodigy 400 D4 (12/5/-2/2) is a more understable D-series driver.
How far does the Prodigy D3 fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 395 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
