Prodigy says this about the A5: "The Prodigy A5 is a slightly overstable approach disc that will work in to be a straight flyer. It has a nice, smooth feel with a shallow profile and flat top, which makes it ideal for sidearm approaches. It can handle torque well and has a mild finish on the end, so it won't skip too far from where it lands."

Phases of Flight
| Low-Speed Fade |
|---|
| As the disc slows and spin decreases, the disc pulls out of turn and begins to hook at the end of flight |
| High-Speed Turn |
| The aerodynamic profile turns the disc with the direction of spin during the high-speed phase of flight |
| Forward Push |
| The initial thrust forward during the high-speed phase of flight |

Absolutely great feel, slightly less stable flight
Mar 14, 2024
This disc in 400 plastic feels amazing. Perfect tack, perfect gumminess, just a great hand feel. The new 400 plastic in all molds feels great. Depth is similar to a zone, diameter feels larger (like a mid) but really isn't. On just hand-feel, this thing is a 10/10.
On backhands, it flies just slightly less stable than a Zone, substantially less stable than a Toro, and roughly the same stability as a Tournament Harp. I would rate the backhand numbers 3/4/0/2.5. I would rate the forehand numbers to be 3/4/-1.5/1. This disc doesn't handle forehand torque (and it wasn't designed to) like an A3 or A2. If you want Prodigy approach discs, I would recommend an A2 (overstable) and an A5 (stable+). These two together would be all you needed for an approach game.
Fantastic approach disc
Aug 25, 2023
The A5 is one of my most used approach discs aside for the A2 (more overstable). I love the flat and beadless profile which makes it comfortable for both backhands and forehands. I find it to be torque resistant and fly a little more overstable than the flight numbers suggest. I love that I can hit it hard with a straight flight and dependable fade at the end. I compare its flight to a beat in Discraft Zone.
