Prodigy M5 5 | 5 | -2 | 0.5
Unlock effortless shot shaping and massive glide in the woods with the Prodigy M5. A standout in the Prodigy Discs Collection, this highly understable 5-speed midrange has been completely retooled from its original 2014 debut. Redesigned from the ground up, the modern M5 flies exactly like a beautifully well-seasoned M4 right off the shelf, giving players of all skill levels instant access to smooth, touch-oriented turnover lines.
Flight Numbers
With official flight ratings of 5 | 5 | -2 | 0.5, the M5 is built for extreme workability. The massive 5 glide keeps it airborne with very little effort. While officially rated at a -2 turn, many reviewers find it flies closer to a -2.5, meaning it will easily pop up from a steep hyzer or ride a long, panning anhyzer line without aggressively fighting back. The minimal 0.5 fade ensures it lands softly and straight.

The Prodigy M5 delivers:
- Tight Woods Dominance: An absolute weapon for navigating technical gaps, allowing you to hit complex turnover lines without needing extreme power.
- Effortless Hyzer Flips: Throw it on a steep angle and watch it pop up perfectly flat and glide straight down the fairway.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the M5 compare to the Prodigy M4?
The retooled M5 is essentially designed to fly like a perfectly beat-in M4 right out of the box. Physically, the M5 features a lower profile, a shallower rim depth, and a much smoother bottom edge (no flashing), making it extremely comfortable for players who find the M4 slightly too deep.
Is the M5 a good midrange for beginners?
Yes, it is one of the best! Because it is highly understable (with a turn of -2 or -2.5), it is incredibly forgiving for slower arm speeds. Beginners will find it very easy to throw straight, while more advanced players will use it as a highly technical turnover disc.
What does a -2 turn mean for my throw?
A -2 turn means that when thrown flat with average power, the disc will naturally want to turn to the right (for a right-handed backhand thrower) before its minimal fade gently pulls it back at the very end of the flight.
