DESCRIPTION:
Prodigy Disc FX-4 is a fast, versatile fairway driver designed for players who crave distance and controlled turns. It occupies a sweet spot between the F-series' stability and the wider rim of the FX2, offering a unique blend of power and finesse. Here's what makes the FX-4 stand out:
The FX-4 boasts a stability rating of 4.0 on Prodigy's scale (1 being most overstable, 7 being most understable). This translates to a dual personality:
Powerful Stability for Power Players: At higher arm speeds, the FX-4 exhibits a straight flight with a mild, predictable turn before finishing with a reliable fade. This makes it a bomber for players who can unleash its potential.
Controlled Turn for Slower Arms: For players with moderate arm speeds, the FX-4 offers a gentle, yet controllable turn throughout its flight, allowing for curving approaches and creative lines around obstacles.
The FX-4 packs a punch with a speed of 8.0, making it a true distance champion among fairway drivers. Its wider rim compared to the F-series helps capture more air, resulting in impressive glides and effortless throws.
The FX-4's dual personality shines in its versatility:
Fairway Bomber: Unleash its power for long, straight fairway drives, especially with higher arm speeds.
S-Curve Master: Utilize the controlled turn for curving approaches around obstacles or tight gaps.
