The A2 is a very overstable, beadless Prodigy approach disc rated 4/2/0/4. Low glide and a heavy fade make it a wind and utility tool for upshots, forehand flex shots and short trick shots, especially for strong throwers who want to avoid a turnover. Players who want a straight approach disc or more glide should look elsewhere. Prodigy calls it a beadless cousin of the A1 that flies a touch less stable, says its extra glide adds 30 to 40 feet, and adds that it fills the gap between midranges and putters. Väinö Mäkelä, quoted by Prodigy, says it feels like a fast disc in the hand despite its approach-disc profile. Three players on Disc Golf Course Review like it for forehands, and one uses it for forehand flex lines. The PDGA approved the A2 on 15 December 2015 (15-69). Prodigy's 2023 flight-number update lowered its glide and raised its fade to the current figures, and Gavin Rathbun chose it for a 2025 signature run. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Westside Anvil and the Viking Discs Loki.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
