Prodigy FX-4 400
How do I read the numbers and stability?
How fast the disc has to be thrown to fly as designed. Beginners: up to 7. Without a strong arm, a faster disc will simply drop to the left and won't fly far.
How long the disc stays up in the air. A higher number means more distance with less effort. 5–7 works well for beginners.
High-speed turn. How much the disc turns to the right early in the flight (right-handed backhand). For beginners −1 to −3 is better: this turn to the right offsets the natural drop to the left of a beginner's throw, so the disc flies straighter.
Low-speed fade. How sharply the disc hooks to the left and drops at the end of the flight. For beginners 0–2 is more predictable and keeps more distance.
Despite how it sounds, understable does not mean a bad or unpredictable flight. Stability is relative to the power of the throw.
An understable disc is made to turn right on a powerful throw. On a beginner's softer throw, this tendency evens out the natural drop to the left, and the disc flies straight.
On a beginner's throw, a stable or overstable disc will drop to the left straight away and won't fly far. Once your throw gets stronger, you can move on to more stable discs.
Beginners: the first 6 months, still learning the basics of the throw. Amateurs: play regularly, with a developed technique. Advanced players: experienced players with a powerful, consistent throw.
FX-4: Fast and Controllable Mid-Distance Disc
The FX-4 is a fast, stable to slightly unstable mid-range disc . Its wider rim, compared to our F-series discs, provides more speed and further flight down the lane. In flight, it will exhibit neutral to slightly unstable characteristics depending on your throw speed. For strong throwers, it will deviate slightly to the right (for right-handed and backhand throws), while for throwers with less hand speed, it will fly straight with a slight tail.
The color of the stamp may vary. The color tone of the disc may vary.
