The MX-3 is a beaded Prodigy midrange rated 5/4/0/1. No turn, good glide and a small fade give it a straight flight that resists turning over, which suits controlled mid-range drives for players who throw hard. Players who want an understable mid should look elsewhere. Prodigy describes a slightly overstable, torque-resistant beaded mid that still glides well on anhyzer and flex lines, and says it has stability like its M2 with more glide and a later fade. Its MX Series discs are a little smaller and slimmer than the M Series. Cale Leiviska chose it for a 2020 signature run. The PDGA approved the MX-3 on 7 May 2019 (19-42), and Prodigy's 2023 update set its current numbers. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Innova Jay and the Gateway Morningstar.

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.
