About the F5

F5: Prodigy’s understable fairway driver

The Prodigy F5 is an understable fairway driver for controlled turnovers. Two of turn against one of fade means it goes right and mostly stays there.

That makes it a hyzer-flip and turnover disc. Seven speed and five glide give it distance at moderate power, and lower-power players will see the full flight without a run-up. It flips to flat easily and rides a long right line. One fade is not much of a finish. In a headwind it will turn past where you want it, and there is very little left to bring it back.

How much the F5 turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
