MATERIAL:
Prodigy's AIR plastic is a game-changer, specifically designed to revolutionize the lightweight disc experience. It takes their renowned 400 series base resin and infuses it with innovative technology to create discs that are both exceptionally light and remarkably durable. Here's what makes AIR plastic soar:

Effortless Distance: Forget muscling throws. AIR discs weigh in at a mere 148 to 162 grams, allowing for effortless throws that maximize glide and distance, especially for players with slower arm speeds.

Control at Lower Speeds: Lighter discs react more to subtle release angles and hyzer flips, giving you more control over your shots at lower speeds compared to heavier discs.

Impeccable Grip: Despite their light weight, AIR discs maintain Prodigy's signature grippy surface, ensuring confident throws in all weather conditions. No worries about slippery discs ruining your game.

Stunning Aesthetics: AIR plastic comes in a vibrant spectrum of eye-catching colors and often features Prodigy's Spectrum swirling patterns, making them as beautiful as they are functional.

Durable Delight:
Modified 400 Resin: The base of AIR plastic is Prodigy's proven 400 resin, renowned for its durability. This modified version retains impressive resilience against impacts and wear, defying expectations for lightweight discs.

Confident Carry: You can trust AIR discs to handle everyday bumps and scrapes without compromising their flight performance. Throw with confidence and enjoy their longevity.
Things to Consider:

Limited Wind Resistance: Due to their lighter weight, AIR discs might be more susceptible to wind gusts compared to heavier discs.

Specific Disc Selection: Currently, AIR plastic is offered in a select range of Prodigy's molds, focusing on driver and fairway driver options.

DESCRIPTION:
Prodigy Disc F5 is a unique fairway driver that bridges the gap between stable and under stable discs. Unlike its siblings, the F7 and F9, the F5 offers a remarkably straight flight path with a subtle, predictable turn, making it a versatile option for players of all skill levels. Here's a closer look at its key features:

Balanced Flight Profile:
With a stability rating of 3.0 on Prodigy's scale (with 1 being most over stable and 7 being most under stable), the F5 boasts a nearly laser-straight initial flight with a gentle turn at higher speeds. This translates to:

Faithful lines: Throw the disc on any angle and watch it hold its line for most of the flight, offering predictable and reliable results.

Controlled turnovers: Experienced players can utilize the F5's slight turn for curving approaches around obstacles or for creative S-curves.

Wind-fighting stability: While not overly over stable, the F5 maintains enough stability to resist strong headwinds and stay on its intended path.

Despite its focus on control, the F5 packs a punch with a moderate speed of 7.0 and a high glide of 4.0. This combination allows for:

Impressive distances: The F5 effortlessly slices through the air, covering substantial ground for a fairway driver, even for players with moderate arm speeds.

Graceful landings: The high glide ensures smooth and predictable landings near the basket, even on hyzer lines.

Beginners' confidence builder: The predictable flight path and forgiving nature make it an excellent choice for beginners to learn proper throwing technique and build confidence.

Advanced shot shaping: Experienced players can utilize the F5's subtle turn for controlled turnovers, hyzer flips, and creative lines.

Fairway bomber: The distance potential makes the F5 a viable option for longer fairway holes, especially for those who prefer straight lines over hyzer bombs.
