[Prodigy] My thoughts on the D4

[Kenny53691]

I fell in love with the D4 the first time I threw it. By far one of my "go to" disc in the bag.

my sentiments exactly.

screw the haters. my D4 bombs. and I dont even have a great arm.

for me. for lazer shots. (not big hyzers). I throw a D4 into a tailwind and a D3 into a headwind. Perfect discs in this OK wind. My Orange FR D1 is my hyzer bomb disc now.

I have found that my FR D4 (with the flashing removed) is a great tailwind/no wind driver and my FR D1 is perfect for headwinds. I used this combo in a round with 15-20 mph winds yesterday and felt completely confident in the pairing. And this is from a person who was, and still is, very skeptical of Prodigy's business model...

My brother in law and I got three D4s. Not a bit of turn in them at all. They're prototypes, but I still have sworn off Prodigy for several months at last.

You're missing out on some great molds.

I have been running a D4 First Run as my go-to for long straight holes. Mine goes flat/straight then fades left in final 50-75ft (RHBH). When thrown RHFH I do get some turn (maybe 10-25ft left) and then it fades right in final 70-100ft.

I grabbed a couple of production discs yesterday. Happy to report that they fly exactly the same as my first run.

Well i set a personal best of 423 ft with my D4 the other day. Its got some turn, depends on how its released too. Ive thrown a 390 ft lazer with this thing on the course as well... looking forward to throwing it more as ive only had it for a week lol.

Its 175g, and i kinda wanna try a 170-172 for something with a bit more turn for the big anhyzer shots.

Was easy to replace my tern with the d4.

 

[disc qualified]

I have a proto and 1st run D4. I like how easy they are to throw with minimal power. My D1 was a glideless turd. The D4 is fun to throw but it isn't kicking anything out of my bag.

Same here. My proto D4 was an overstable monster. Not so much as the D1, but it didn't fly anything like the others I have seen my friends throw :gross:

My proto D1 is really only usefull for huge hyzer shots. It has a place in my bag for getting over tree lines and around obstacles.

D4 is my go to driver on anything over 350' depending of course on the elements and placement concerns. Great disc.... in fact I have yet to throw a Prodigy disc that I haven't liked enough to bag.

 

[Dr.feelgood]

Prodigy makes some amazing discs but there super inconsistent.

 

[BiggieSMLS]

All I know is mine is money!!!

Tbird witnessed a few bombs with it. especially on hole 1c at Stoney Hill.

with a head wind, It turned a little went straight, then faded as it should.

Lovely!!!

Its like the you throw them to turn, then watch them "auto pilot" mid flight back straight into a long fade. Not saying my D4 is the most consistent, but it sure is fun to throw.

 

[ScottyLove]

I thought my D4 was a mis-labled D1 until I let our local 14 year old bomber who throws over 500 ft. consistently throw it and my D1 back to back. D1 had nice long fade and he flipped the D4 over with super nice S turn and it flew forever.

So I guess I do have a D4 after all... just need to power up to get it to fly correctly.

I was looking foward to tossing these (D2, D3, and D4). A quote from MS said the D4 was a better Katana. So why not give it a go! I guess it might be a better Katana if I had the power of a pro? Still have them in my bag to see what some breaking in will do to them? So for now it's still the Havoc and Bolt, because at my arm speed. The D4 is far from being an understable disc (for ME).

try out a star tern maybe?

 

[AndyJB]

Terns for me are pretty understable. I can turn over a Star Tern with no effort and can make it a roller pretty easily. Even the Climo Terns are pretty flippy...and if you all know me you know Im bot a big arm at all.

I tried the D4 for several weeks and can say its even more stable than a Katana. I can get a lot of turn out of a Katana...a real natural S-Curve...that I couldnt our of a D4. Even at full power I wasnt getting a lot of wiggle.

Guess thats why they are for the pro players.

 

[PMantle]

Strange. I have had the opposite experience. I can't turn my Champion Tern at all. I can turn my Star Tern a little. I can make my D4 roll with ease.

Well if you combine our throws we'd make a helluva golfer...
