The Prodigy A2 in 400 Plastic is the gold standard for players seeking an ultra-reliable, overstable utility disc that completely defies the wind. Slotting into the crucial spot between a mid-range and an overstable putter, the A2 features a smooth, beadless rim that offers a clean, torque-resistant release. It is widely considered an absolute necessity for power forehands, touch flex shots, and hard-fading scramble situations where failure is not an option.
Prodigy A2 400 Plastic Flight Numbers
Unlike baseline blends, premium 400 plastic cools into a stiffer, shallower profile that creates a true "brick" flight path with minimal lift and an unyielding finish on the green:
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 2 | 0 | 4 |
With flight numbers of 4 | 2 | 0 | 4, the 400 A2 resists wind entirely. Its low glide ensures it drops quickly and predictably out of the sky without drifting off line, while the heavy fade allows you to manipulate speed and skip to access tricky basket placements.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 400 A2
How does the 400 A2 compare to a 300 A2?
The 400 A2 is a pure utility brick with zero glide and a massive dumping fade (4 | 2 | 0 | 4). Baseline models like the 300 A2 have more shoulder dome, giving them more carrying distance and less bite (4 | 4 | 0 | 3). Furthermore, 400 plastic is designed to maintain its heavy stability for years, while 300 plastic will season into a straight-flying disc over time.
Is 400 plastic grippy in wet weather?
While 400 plastic offers a great tactile feel for a premium blend, it can become slick when wet. If you play frequently in the rain or cold, we recommend pairing your 400 A2 with a baseline 300 A2 to ensure you have a tacky grip options for all-weather conditions.
Does the 400 A2 have a bead?
No, the A2 is entirely beadless. This lack of a bottom bead gives it a very smooth, comfortable feel in the hand, making it one of the most popular discs on the market for clean sidearm releases.
