The Prodigy X1 is a speed 13 distance driver with three glide, no turn and five fade — the most overstable mold Prodigy built in its fastest series. It is out of production, so what is left is old stock and used bins.
Five fade at speed 13 with only three glide describes a disc that spends very little time going straight. An arm that can get it up to speed sees a short hold and then a hard, early finish; anyone short of that gets a hyzer that lands where it was aimed. The zero turn is not a suggestion — a full-power backhand will not flip it, and that is the point of the mold. It is a forehand and headwind disc first: sidearms that would turn a Destroyer over stay put, and wind that flips a normal driver only makes the X1 finish sooner. Three glide means it will not float any extra distance for you.
It fits the overstable end of a full bag — spike hyzers, forced flex lines, sidearm approaches at driver distance, and the shot where the only requirement is that the disc does not turn over. The Discraft Flick (12/3/1/5) and Latitude 64 Stiletto (13/2/1/6) cover the same slot here, and the Kastaplast Rask (14/3/0/4) is the closest thing still in production. The limit is distance: five fade and three glide cost real ground, and this is a placement disc at driver speed rather than a distance disc. Players who cannot bring it up to speed will get more out of the X2 (13/4.5/0/4).
The name is Prodigy’s system rather than a reference. Every mold carries a series letter and a stability number: X is the Extra Speed distance series, low-profile drivers with less rim depth than the D Series that Prodigy describes as faster out of the hand with similar glide, and the number runs from most overstable upward. So the X1 is the 1 of Prodigy’s fastest series, which is exactly how it flies. It was PDGA approved on 4 May 2014 under certification 14-37, at a maximum weight of 174.3 g.
750 is the run this site carries. Prodigy describes 750 as similar in grip and texture to its 400 plastic but with a firmer feel that holds up in hot weather — a sensible blend for a disc whose job is to not soften into something less stable. The mold has since left the lineup: Prodigy’s own X Series page now lists only the X2 through X5.
How much the X1 turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the X1 was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
