X3

Prodigy X3 Flight Chart

The Prodigy X3 is a high-speed distance driver with flight numbers of approximately 12 | 5 | -1 | 2. Designed as a slightly overstable workhorse, it offers long, controlled drives with a reliable hyzer finish. Reviewer feedback from multiple plastics (400, 400G, 750 and more) consistently notes a straight-to-fade flight path that makes the X3 a versatile option for both open-distance shots and technical fairways where you need accuracy as much as power.

Flight Path by Skill Level

Prodigy X3 Flight Path for Newer Disc Golfers

For beginners, the X3 will feel fast and solidly overstable. Thrown flat at lower power, it tends to push forward briefly before fading early and strongly to the left on a right-hand backhand line. Many newer players will see more of the fade than the turn in the flight numbers, so it’s best used as a headwind driver or as a safe hyzer disc rather than a max-distance option. At this level, it can serve as a teaching tool for learning controlled hyzer releases.

Flight Chart View for Intermediate Arms

Intermediate players with decent arm speed are closest to the intended Prodigy X3 flight path. From a flat release, the X3 typically shows a gentle high-speed drift or slight turn, followed by a dependable forward-pushing fade. Reviews highlight that it can be thrown hard without turning into an uncontrollable turnover, which makes it useful for shaping S-curves and long straight shots that finish on hyzer. Many players mention trusting the X3 on wooded fairways because its flight chart profile doesn’t dump too early but still finishes reliably.

How the Flight Numbers Play for Advanced Players

Advanced throwers can fully unlock the 12-speed flight numbers of the X3. With higher power, it will show a more pronounced but controlled turn in the middle of the flight, before gliding back on a strong yet not overly harsh fade. This makes it an excellent choice for long-distance flex lines, tailwind bombs, and powered hyzer-flips that need to finish stable. Compared to more overstable Prodigy drivers (like the X2), reviewers often describe the X3 as longer, with a softer finish and more workable lines.

Forehand Lines & Utility Flight Path

Sidearm throwers report that the X3’s rim and stability work well for forehand use, especially for players with clean form. On forehand shots, the Prodigy X3 flight path typically shows minimal turn with a pronounced, predictable fade, especially in premium plastics. It’s well suited for forehand flex shots, skip hyzers, and controlled drives that must finish reliably without flipping over under torque. Higher-power forehand players may see more turn and use it as a workable distance driver rather than a pure meathook.

Try the Prodigy X3

If you want a distance driver that balances glide, workable turn, and a trustworthy fade, the X3 is built for long controlled drives rather than pure max-stability. Many players slot it as their go-to driver for straight-to-fade distance lines in a wide range of conditions.

Puttheads Notes

• Posted flight numbers: commonly listed as 12 / 5 / -1 / 2 – a fast driver with mild turn and a reliable fade.
• Primary role: long-distance driver that trades a bit of overstability for extra workable glide and control.
• Plastic options: available in multiple Prodigy premium blends (400, 400G, 750, etc.), with small feel and stability differences by run.
• Typical lines: flat-to-fade control shots, controlled S-curves, and hyzer-flip distance for players with developed form.
• Who it suits: intermediate and advanced players needing something between a pure bomber and a very overstable driver, especially in the X-series slot.
• Reviewer themes: praised for accurate distance and a straighter flight than the X2, with enough fade at the end to trust in windy or high-power throws.
