The A4 is a beaded Prodigy disc rated 4/3/-1/3, listed here under putt and approach and sold by Prodigy as an approach disc, with a touch of turn before a solid fade. Prodigy describes it as slightly overstable and suited to short approaches in moderate wind, thrown backhand or sidearm. It is not the disc for long, straight putts or for players who want an approach disc that stays put in strong wind. Prodigy notes a bead and an unusual rim shape. Prodigy's A-Series article quotes Lance Brown describing it as "kind of blunt, which works really well for a forehand grip". Players on Disc Golf Course Review call it very flat and square-edged with plenty of glide for its speed, straight on a flat release with a little turn. The PDGA approved the A4 on 10 May 2016 (16-43). Prodigy ended regular production in November 2024, but it returned in July 2026 as a limited run in 750G plastic for the creator Broderic, a run our plastics data does not yet record. Try Discs lists earlier runs in 300, 400 and 500, among others. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Prodigy A3 and the Westside Harp.

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.
