The X5 is an understable, low-profile Prodigy distance driver rated 12/6/-3/2. High glide and plenty of turn with a moderate fade suit slower arms looking for distance, and turnovers, rollers and tunnel shots for stronger players. Players who need a stable finish or a headwind driver should look elsewhere. Prodigy says slower arms get extra glide and distance, moderate arms a long flight from a slight hyzer flip, and faster arms an early flip and a turn to the right before a soft finish, which it pitches for shaped lines in the woods, rollers and low tunnel shots. Prodigy unveiled the X5 on 30 June 2017, after the PDGA approved it on 3 April 2017 (17-39). Its 2023 update set the current figures, and Prodigy ended production in November 2024. Try Discs lists it in 400, 500, 750, 400G and Prodigy Air as of October 2026. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Innova Tern and the Discraft Hades.

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.
