# Prodigy D4 – Distance Driver for Maximum Distance with Controlled Turn The Prodigy D4 is designed for throwers seeking a distance driver with significant turn and high glide for maximum distance. With a speed of 13, it excels in tailwind conditions and long turnover lines, allowing the disc to stay airborne longer before fading late. The 400 plastic offers a grippy feel and durability, while the 400G variant provides slightly more stability for powerful throws. Beginners will find the D4 an accessible high-speed driver that generates distance even with moderate arm speed—intermediate players, however, should anticipate its flippy tendencies and use it strategically for specific lines. In flight, the D4 exhibits a pronounced right-turning trajectory, engaging early in backhand throws and maintaining turnover over long distances. A glide rating of 6 ensures extended hang time, while the fade of 2 adds a gentle leftward finish at the end. Advanced players will find the disc noticeably understable, making it ideal for S-curves or roller shots. As arm speed increases, the turn becomes more pronounced, often requiring a hyzer release to maintain the desired flight path. Stability varies by plastic run: 400G versions remain controllable longer, while lighter Air variants are extremely flippy. For beginners, the D4 offers a rare opportunity to achieve true distance drives, as it flies far even without maximum power and remains forgiving on flat or slightly anhyzer lines. Intermediate players value it as a tailwind bomber but must carefully manage hyzer angles and release points to prevent rollovers. Advanced throwers use it strategically for extreme turnover shots or as a utility driver when right-turning flights are needed. On tight fairways, it demands precision—open courses with tailwinds are its ideal terrain.
