Shadowfax | Prodigy Disc · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Shadowfax" by Prodigy Disc serves as a versatile fairway driver for controlled distance throws in the mid-speed range. With a speed rating of 9, it bridges the gap between technical midranges and fast distance drivers, making it ideal for fairway shots between 90 and 110 meters. Designed for intermediate players seeking a reliable workhorse for various release angles, the disc is available in 400 plastic and a lighter Air version, offering different stability profiles for varying arm speeds. In flight, the "Shadowfax" exhibits a balanced performance with a turn of -2 and fade of 1.5. Its moderate glide of 5 ensures smooth flight phases without excessive float. The disc starts neutral on straight lines, develops a controlled turn in mid-flight, and gently fades back to center. This combination allows for precise S-curves and straight flights when thrown with adjusted power. The stability varies by plastic type: while the 400 plastic provides slightly more resistance, the Air version offers more accessible flight characteristics at lower arm speeds. Some throwers find the disc more stable than the flight numbers suggest, depending on individual release angles and throwing speed. For hyzer lines, the "Shadowfax" holds the angle reliably and fades moderately to the ground. On anhyzer, it produces controlled turnovers without flipping unpredictably. The disc performs well for both backhand and forehand throws, with a comfortable grip that supports both techniques. In windy conditions, it remains predictable on straight lines without turning over too early. Advanced players appreciate it for technical fairway shots and as an alternative to classic control drivers like the "Undertaker." For beginners with sufficient arm speed, it provides an entry point into faster fairway drivers with forgiving flight characteristics.
