Prodigy FX-4
The Prodigy FX-4 is a fast, stable-to-slightly-understable fairway driver built for clean hyzer-flips and controlled turn. It has a wider rim than Prodigy’s F Series, giving it more speed and extra push down the fairway without getting wild.
Flight: 9 | 5 | -2 | 1. The FX-4 stands up and drifts for power throwers, while lower arm speeds get a straighter ride with a mild, late finish.
Why throw the Prodigy FX-4?
- Controlled hyzer-flip fairway driver that adds distance without sacrificing accuracy.
- Wider rim than the F Series for extra speed and carry on long fairway placements.
- Workable turn for woods golf, shaping lines, and touchy turnover drives.
- Complements the FX-2 and FX-3 by offering less finish and more usable drift.
Plastics
200 (base): beats in quickly for extra turn and easy shaping. Great for learning hyzer-flips and dialing rollers.
400 (premium, grippy): tour-quality feel with excellent wet-weather grip and durable flights that season nicely over time.
400 Spectrum (premium, swirled): 400 grip and durability with standout swirls and special-run looks.
400 Glimmer (premium, sparkly): a 400-style run with added shimmer and a confident, premium hand feel.
500 (premium, firmer): a stiffer premium option that holds its flight longer and stays consistent through heavy tee use.
ReBlend (recycled premium): eco-focused blend made from reground premium plastics, with a feel similar to 500 and unique, mixed-color looks.
750 Color GLOW (premium, very firm glow): Prodigy’s stiffest feel in a brighter color-glow run, built for a firm grip and consistent flights.

FAQs
What are the Prodigy FX-4 flight numbers and what do they mean?
The FX-4 is commonly listed as 9 | 5 | -2 | 1. That means fairway speed, strong glide, workable high-speed turn, and a gentle fade for controlled finishes.
Is the FX-4 understable or stable?
It’s best described as stable to slightly understable. Power players see more rightward movement (RHBH), while lower arm speeds get a straighter flight with mild finish.
How does the FX-4 compare to the FX-3?
The FX-4 is designed as a complement to the FX-3, holding straighter longer with a milder finish. If you want more drift and less bite at the end, the FX-4 is the move.
What’s the best way to throw the FX-4 for a hyzer-flip?
Release on gentle hyzer with the nose down. Let it stand up to flat, drift slightly, and finish forward. Add height for longer turn and more glide.
Which FX-4 plastic should I choose?
Choose 400 for grippy all-around performance. Pick 500 for a firmer, longer-lasting flight. Go 200 if you want faster seasoning for turn. Choose 750 Color GLOW for a very firm feel and consistent glow runs. ReBlend is great if you want premium feel with eco-friendly materials.
