The Prodigy A2 in 500 Plastic is a top-tier premium approach disc engineered for players who demand extreme high-speed stability alongside a striking, high-end visual appeal. Bridging the gap between a mid-range and an overstable putter, the A2 features a smooth, beadless rim that guarantees a clean, drag-free release. It is the perfect choice for power sidearms, forced flex lines, and heavy wind scrambles where you need absolute certainty that your disc will hook up at the end of its flight.
Prodigy A2 500 Plastic Flight Numbers
Because premium 500 plastic sets firmly and retains a rigid structure out of the mold, it maximizes the overstable, low-glide characteristics of the iconic A2 design:
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 2 | 0 | 4 |
With flight numbers of 4 | 2 | 0 | 4, the 500 A2 behaves like a true aerodynamic brick. It completely resists lifting or catching a headwind, fighting forward on a frozen rope before dumping aggressively out of the sky with a massive, predictable hook finish.
Why Choose Prodigy 500 Plastic?
Prodigy’s 500 Plastic is an elite blend of premium materials that sits right between 400 and 750 plastic. Here is why players choose the 500 blend for their approach game:
- Pearlescent & Translucent Looks: 500 plastic features a unique, gorgeous pearlescent sheen that makes it stand out in the air and easy to locate on the fairway.
- Stiff & Confident Rim Feel: This blend is slightly more rigid than standard 400 plastic, providing a rock-solid rim structure that high-power throwers prefer for clean sidearm snaps.
- Premium Hardwood Durability: Built to withstand brutal tree knocks, skip shots off hard dirt, and impacts with rocky greens, the 500 A2 preserves its extreme overstability for hundreds of rounds without breaking down.
Frequently Asked Questions About the 500 A2
How does the 500 A2 compare to the 400 and 300 versions?
The 500 A2 shares the exact same wind-fighting, low-glide flight matrix (4 | 2 | 0 | 4) as the premium 400 and 750 blends, but it features a slightly stiffer hand-feel and a more pearlescent finish than 400. Compared to baseline options like the 300 A2—which have more dome, extra carrying distance, and a softer fade (4 | 4 | 0 | 3)—the 500 version is much more aggressive, skips harder, and retains its stability indefinitely.
Is 500 plastic good for cold weather rounds?
Because 500 plastic is a rigid, high-end premium material, it can become quite stiff and slightly slick on freezing winter days. If you play in cold or wet environments, we highly recommend pairing your premium 500 A2 with a tacky baseline 300 A2 so you have a secure grip option for all weather scenarios.
Does the 500 A2 have a bead on the rim?
No, the A2 is completely beadless. This flat, smooth bottom edge makes it exceptionally comfortable for sidearm throwers, as there is no bead to catch on your fingers or mess up your release timing.
