Prodigy X5
The Prodigy X5 is an understable, low-profile distance driver built for easy turn and huge glide. It’s a go-to for hyzer-flips, long turnovers, and low-ceiling tunnel shots. Expect workable shape with a soft, controllable finish.
Flight: 12 | 6 | -3 | 2. The X5 flips up fast, carries forward, and finishes gently, making it a top choice for wooded shaping and controlled rollers.
Why throw the Prodigy X5?
- Understable distance that helps lower arm speeds access real driver glide and added carry.
- Easy hyzer-flip driver for straight bombs, long turnovers, and late drifting lines.
- Excellent low-ceiling and tunnel driver that performs well at low heights.
- Roller-ready flight for long, controlled rollers once you learn the angle.

FAQs
What are the Prodigy X5 flight numbers and what do they mean?
The X5 is rated 12 | 6 | -3 | 2. That means high speed with big glide, strong high-speed turn, and a manageable fade for controlled shaping.
Why do I see different flight numbers for the X5 online?
Some sites still list older ratings (often 13 | 5 | -4 | 1). Prodigy’s current product pages list 12 | 6 | -3 | 2, and that’s what we use here.
Who is the Prodigy X5 best for?
Lower arm speeds get easy distance and glide. Intermediate players get a clean hyzer-flip driver. Power throwers use it for turnovers and rollers.
How should I throw the X5 for a hyzer-flip?
Start it on gentle hyzer and keep the nose down. Let it stand to flat, drift, and finish softly. Add height for longer turn and more glide.
Which plastic should I choose for the X5?
Choose 400 for everyday grip. Pick 500 for a firmer feel and long-term consistency. Go 750 for maximum rigidity and durability. Use Air when you want lighter weight and easier distance.
