The Prodigy X5 is a very high-speed distance driver with exceptional glide and moderate fade. It produces an understable flight that drifts right, making it a great option for players looking for easy distance or turnover lines.
High speed (12) demands significant arm speed and solid technique to achieve full flight.
Release on a slight hyzer for a "hyzer flip" that turns flat and glides straight. Or throw flat for a gentle turnover line.

A distance driver from Prodigy, the X5 is an understable mold built for players seeking maximum distance. With a speed of 12 and a pronounced negative turn, this disc doesn't hold a steady line; instead, it aggressively flips up and turns over to the left before fading back in for a clean finish. It features a flat top profile and a thin rim that cuts through the air easily, making it a reliable choice for turnover drives and rollers. This disc shines on massive anhyzers, utilizing its high glide to travel deep before skipping hard off the ground. Skilled players with the arm speed for a speed 12 driver will find this model excels on long turnover shots, curving wide before fading sharply at the end. While it offers beginner-friendly distance potential, achieving its full flight requires advanced technique and significant power.
