A3

Prodigy A3 Flight Chart

The Prodigy A3 is an overstable approach disc designed for players who value control and reliability over sheer distance. With flight numbers of 4 | 4 | 0 | 3, it fits between a putter and a midrange, offering a torque-resistant, flat flight that ends with a predictable fade. The beadless rim and low profile make it a comfortable and consistent choice for both backhand and forehand throws.

Flight Path for Beginners

For newer players, the A3 will likely feel very overstable, often fading out early unless thrown with significant speed. Still, it’s useful for learning hyzers, windy approaches, and situations where control is more important than distance. Beginners who stick with it will find it an excellent disc for developing touch and release consistency.

Flight Chart for Intermediate Players

Intermediate throwers will appreciate how the A3 bridges the gap between a throwing putter and a midrange. It can be powered flat without turning over, holding its line before finishing reliably. The A3 excels for forehand flicks, controlled hyzers, and low-ceiling shots where other discs might turn or skip too far.

Flight Numbers for Advanced and Professional Players

Advanced players rely on the A3 for utility and precision. In premium 400G or 750 plastics, it can handle full-power drives up to about 275 feet without flipping. The overstability allows for creative flex shots, touch grenades, and aggressive forehand approaches that hold straight before finishing forward. Many pros prefer the flat 750 Spectrum runs for their consistency and torque resistance.

Forehand Control and Utility Use

Forehand throwers consistently praise the A3’s torque resistance and shallow profile. It’s easy to grip, stays on angle, and skips minimally. This makes it ideal for headwind approaches, flex forehands, or scramble shots that require a sharp finish but soft ground play. The A3 is often called a “Zone with more bite” — but reviewers note it’s actually more overstable than that comparison suggests.
