The A3 is an overstable, beaded Prodigy approach disc rated 4/3/0/3. A firm fade with some glide suits upshots, forehand approaches and windy short shots for strong to above-average throwers. Players who want a straight approach disc should look elsewhere. Prodigy calls it an overstable utility disc between midranges and putters, aimed at strong throwers who do not want a shot to turn over, and notes its bead. Lykke Lorentzen, quoted by Prodigy, likes it for sidearm and backhand shots because it keeps some glide despite its stability. The PDGA approved the A3 on 15 December 2015 (15-70). It was the first Prodigy approach disc released in ReBlend, the company's recycled premium plastic. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Discraft Zone and the RPM Discs Kea.

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.
