I'd love to see a vid like this on Millennium Discs. Everyone knows the Draco thanks to Calvin, but there are some real gems in their lineup that don't get near the love they deserve.

One of the few things I enjoy is buying USA made products, which is rare due to the cost. Discs are one of the things I can get a USA made product at a fair price.

Flashing removal is like 1 minute process. The issue with it is that if it feels bad to the hand in store the disc will remain in the shelf.

What’s crazy is I’ve never heard anyone complain about discmanias naming schemes, but people complain about prodigy’s naming scheme all the time

I’m very surprised by the bad rep Prodigy has. I had no idea. It’s very popular here in Finland mostly because some of the most popular players from Finland like Väinö Mäkelä and Seppo Paju are throwing Prodigy. I have bought multiple Prodigy discs in the past 4 years and never had any issues with them

Prodigy is the red headed stepchild (probably an outdated phrase but you know what I'm saying) of disc golf and I don't understand why. I've never had a bad experience throwing F5, H5, and D3. I don't know why they get so much hate beyond the issues outlined and even then, I don't see any reason why those distractions should deter me from throwing more. I love your channel because you keep it real, and flight numbers don't matter. That's why I was never bothered by the naming conventions because it was easy to follow. And people who trash Prodigy's naming convention but love Discmania are toxic hypocrites

prodigy holds some of my favorite discs being the FX-3 (Which is not talked about enough) and the X3 and X5

I work at a disc golf retailer and I can say from my experience nobody buys prodigy. I mean in the past year I’ve only had about 10 people ask me to help them find a certain prodigy disc. The new spectrum air discs look pretty good and when a newer player asks me for a beginner friendly disc I’ll hand them a f7 but other than that it’s crazy. We sell a ton more thought space than prodigy and they don’t put the flight numbers on the discs, they also have less of a selection of molds. And are less known.

Yes Prodigy is definitely undervalued currently, take advantage of the great prices while you can

You forgot to add that in the beginning they took discs from other manufacturers and stamped over them so their sponsored players could throw “their discs”.

I bought my first prodigy disc about 3 weeks ago. I got an F7 in 400 plastic and it had zero flashing. Honestly, I was expecting the worst due to all the bad press prodigy gets. The plastic actually feels fantastic, and felt better than several innova discs I’ve held in stores lately. The innova discs had a lot of flashing, especially on the champion plastic. Overall the most impressive thing for me about prodigy, was the fact that the disc flew true to the flight numbers.

Please do a video on TSA's offerings! Specifically the Mantra/Pathfinder-both are absolute workhorses and are criminally underrated.

I truly think Prodigy had their worst production year at the worst time. The sharp flashing was during peak covid, and they're still recovering from that. I've worked a few of their discs into my lineup this year and have been enjoying it so far. You guys should review the PA-5!

The H5 changed my game. And my friend aced with it the first time he ever threw it!!!! My fx-2 however had that sharp "flashing" that changed both my release as well as the flight. And right after that, Buhr had his issues. I held off purchasing prodigy until i saw improvement. Ive put some prodigy in hand in the last year at my shop but they still had that sharp flashing. Im stoked if they are done skimping on finishing their discs before shipping. I love their molds and their players!

I'd love to see some coverage of Streamline - MVP's overmold-less, smaller lineup. I think there are some gems there, like the Pilot, Stabilizer (zone-ish clone), Ascend, and Trace.

I love my A2. Also have a H7 and D2 in bag.

Now Prodigys can put MPO world champion under their belt now too. Seems after the bad press start of the year and Prodigy saying "Buhr is our only top pro" or something along those lines. The rest of the team stepped up and showed there's more to their lineup than just Buhr.

It’s interesting to see some good press. I have bought two Prodigy discs in the past, both GB Rookie of the Year D1’s and one of them has a straight up knife edge with its flashing. I’m glad their production is improving, I am liking their art director more as time goes on as well. The FX3 has my interest now

I’d love to see this style of video about Legacy Discs. They have (IMO) the most underrated lineup in Disc Golf

Do a Buzz disc review and all the differnces between the models os , ss and plastics.👍thanx for a great review

I have an old Catrina Allen F-7. My go to hyzer-flip and roller disc

Good video effort, but in multiple stores in East TN and NW GA - I still find frequent flashing. The 300/350 PA-3 and spectrum line in 300 is nice though. I'm at point of not even looking at the premium plastics, but I'll look again at the new designed Prodigy discs if I ever see them in stores. The Made in China & Made in USA oof was cute

I have a Prodigy FX-2 Air in 400 plastic that I bought last fall. It works well for me for fairway/midrange shots (including rollers), doesn't have that plastic breakdown problem, and....no flashing!

Yeah. Prodigy used to have a bad flashing problem, but they have fixed it, the new discs don't have it, I've ordered about 40-50 discs from them in the past year and they haven't had flashing, others say the same. In addition, on those discs which have flashing, it can be removed in a minute with a whetstone. Ps. I ordered 10 discs from them two days ago, none of them had flashing. The nicest thing was that I got the discs really cheap, 8 premium plastic and 2 basic plastic cost me only 116 euros. It is hard to see that I will ever throw with any other manufacturer's discs again, and one of the reasons is the price, but also the fact that the plastic qualities are excellent and the molds are just as good as those of all other manufacturers. So at a lower price, but still of the same quality as other manufacturers' discs, it would be foolish not to order their discs.

The PA-5 has been amazing. Understable putters are underrated as a whole. With that said, the PA-5 and Spin fly the same. The PA-5 feels significantly better in my hand though.

I have a 500 pa5 I have been trying to get out of my bag but it's just too smooth, perfect understability for me. I can't get any other premium putter to flip over like it.

Gonna check out some Prodigy discs this weekend. If the plastics feel good I probably will swap my bag over them

I still have the same prodigy discs, ive started with 10 years ago and they have light scratches but thats it no knicks or lumps.

I love my Prodgy discs. The PA5 in 400 is the most predictable and accurate disc for upshots in my bag. I love the F7 in 500 and the M4 in 400. I will definitely be buying some more in the future. Their prices off their website are really cheap right now and I had my discs in 2 days!

Manufacturers I have in the bag MVP,Axiom,Innova,Lat 64, Millennium, DGA, Lone Star and Discraft. My reasons for not trying Prodigy is every company has basically every shot needed so why spend more money on simply another Destroyer for example and the other reason is for many years I have heard so many complaints about the company and their product. I hope they have great success in the future but for me It's a pass. Thanks for the great video.

A2, M4, F3, F5 are fantastic

D2 is my main driver- pa3 is my main putting and throwing putter- love the f3 and will never play DG w/o a a2/a3

I have a 400 M4 that I like, but it’s the only prodigy disc I use. They just feel kinda sleezy the way they handle things and I don’t feel like supporting them.

Prodigy FX-3 is moneyyyyy

I throw an F1 and the H4V2 and they are super reliable. The F1 is my overstable fairway. I can't throw a Firebird, so it takes that spot. It had a very sharp rim when I first got it and was uncomfortable to throw, but got better with time. It's also my best forehand disc. H4V2 is really unique feeling and super comfortable. For me it's the disc I can throw the straightest for the longest. I recommend both.

My only gripe with prodigy is that they have both translucent as well as opaque versions for both 400 and 750 plastic that feel very different in hand. They could just have different acronyms at they end so that people don't assume they feel the same like myself.

Flashing is good for protecting the discs those first throws ;) My FX-2's (500 and 400), H1v2, H3v2 all had flashing... But the PA-1 Otso 3, PA-3 stock, and PX-3 Shusterick in 500 have none. I think there is a breaking point in their quality control during the last 2 years, I don't know how they did it but I love my new PA-3, keep finding it nearby the midranges near the drivers ;P The Duraflex F Model S, P Model S, P Model US have slight to none flashing at all, the used FX-4 I have seems more stable than this FX-3 though xD

Prodigy has some of my favorite plastic. I hate their naming convention though.

The first name I thought of was Seppo!

Yeah i don't understand the hate for prodigy thats all i use. The plastic is one of the best in the business. Plus there putters, approachs, and mids are arguably the best

not to go off on a tangent here but i think Chinese manufacturing has very underestimated potential (especially in disc golf). It's stereotyped as being cheap but that's only because Chinese manufacturing is mostly utilized by american companies as a cost cutting measure, they actually have much higher capabilities to those who are willing to pay

I love your videos. I hate prodigy. Too much competition to have to settle for them.

Prodigy should change their slogan to "Hey, isn't Lone Star crazy?"

@1:52 AKA Jar Jar Binks

You ever roll a 20 sided disc?

I think anyone who likes spending time on the Infinite Discs site knows Prodigy has good discs despite the flashing complaints. I think the real reason people, myself included, don't throw Prodigy is because Innova amd Discraft discs are more available, both new and used, easier to trade and sell to other people, and just a hair cheaper without compromising variety of discs. Why get an FX3 when you can get a variety of new and used Innova Vikings or Valkyries? Even though Innova and Discraft have their inconsistencies, they're still consistent enough for people to feel satisfied with just their discs.

PA-3 is the best putter on the market.

Love the video. Ill keep hating prodigy products though. Their baskets are the worst in the entire industry and the cheap price tag for new discs comes at the cost of exploiting overseas labor. I cant wait to see what Gannon does with equipment he believes in

I have a few problems with prodigy discs. The naming system doesn't make sense. I had an F2 (750 plastic) i loved, but it was a hyzer flip understable discs. Only one step up is the f1 which was more of a teebird. What happens if you want to make a new over stable 7 speed? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ The other thing is the flashing. That f2 and a cale leviska m4 in 400 that I got well used had no flashing. I have haven't found a single disc from them outside of those without flashing. I've sanded flashing off some of their discs I've tried, flew just fine. Just annoying. I will bag discs from them, if anyone ever finds my f2 and texts me (2 years, still holding out hope) I'll bag it again. Not sure id go out of my way to get a prodigy disc with all the amazing discs out there for each slot. But I wouldn't say no.

In May I tweaked my shoulder that resulted in physical therapy and a break from disc golfing. When I was given the green light to start throwing at 1/2-3/4 power I bought a 158g Wombat 3 and loved it. I then bought a 157g DGA Vortex, then a 158g Lat64 Pearl. Even without throwing full power my distance remained the same and in some cases (the vortex) Ive gained distance with full flight characterisrics. On occasions when I've tried to throw a full weight disc I feel the strain in my shoulder. So, another question to consider might be "could throwing light weight discs reduce the chances of shoulder injuries?" I will continue to rebuild my bag with all light weight discs.

I always hate their nomenclature, and few of the discs having the same numbers but very different flight. In my research, the distance of a Prodigy disc always seems to be a bit less than the same slot from a competitor (so I'm thinking more old-school disc design). And the flashing is always an annoyance at the bottom of a disc.

Prodigy has some fine discs, as good as many others. But while you see the “made in China” as a change for the better, it’s a deal breaker for me. $4.00 more for a made in the US or Europe or New Zealand disc is doable. The US used to have a great manufacturing base, giving people lots of good jobs. But then corporations moved manufacturing overseas so they could make more money. Many towns’ economies declined and became a shell of what they used to be, the standard of living dropped for former employees while corporate executives make more money than ever and, more recently, it cause us to be with out many supplies during the pandemic. So, even though their discs are good and getting better, that’s a no sale for me. There’s plenty of good stuff that isn’t outsourced to China, and we should support them. And, oh yeah, I have a hard time believing they’ll pay Gannon what he is worth.

I would rather buy discs that do not need to be outsourced overseas to be made correctly. Great video though

Dawg where are you buying a stock disc for 22 dollars

I like several players that are prodigy sponsored however should we support companies that have their products made in China. That's really one thing that's killing our country

prodigy still has flashing. store by me has a ton of prodigy and while some feel good, quite a few still have flashing
