The D5 is a distance driver listed here at 12/6/-4/2. That rating suggests a strongly understable flight that turns right for a right-hand backhand before a moderate finish. Prodigy's 2014 product page classified the D5 as understable without assigning numeric flight ratings. Its ratings suggest it is less suited to players prioritizing resistance to high-speed turnover. That 2014 page called the D5 the most understable of Prodigy's drivers to that date. The PDGA approved the D5 on 29 August 2013 (13-53) and the D5 V2 (retooled D5) on 14 October 2013 (13-63); the measurements listed here match the V2 certificate. Prodigy's own site marked the D5 out of production by 2019. TryDiscs lists it in Prodigy's 400, 400G and AIR plastics.

The Prodigy D5 has only 1 review so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

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.
