The Prodigy M4 is a straight midrange with a touch of turn. One of turn against one of fade is a balanced flight — it holds the line it is given and finishes softly.
That makes it a workhorse mid for shaped lines. Thrown flat it stays straight, and it turns over on demand without flipping past the point of no return. Five glide is generous for a midrange, so it carries further than most at 5 speed. In wind that glide becomes the problem. A headwind will lift and turn it, and one point of fade is not enough to bring it back on line.
How much the M4 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 M4 was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
