The Pa-5 and A5 are two of the best discs to come out across the whole game in the last few years. Most people that like to throw flippy touch shots will enjoy the Pa-5, and people that like reliable overstability will love the A5. Give them a try!
Great info on the company. As a newer player I was not around back then and only no the history of prodigy from what I have heard, but at the very beginning before I knew who anyone was or what any company was, I wanted a stack of putters to practice without knowing anything about them I found a stack of Prodigy P model S online, $60 for a 10 pack. I had heard that you really want at least 5 and 10 is better for practicing, and I couldn't afford $15 a disc. And that's right around the time I also heard to learn with only putters until you can throw them 300 ft, So I put all my other discs away and I didn't throw anything with those for about 3 months. And now a few years into my disc golf journey and throwing for someone else, I still enjoy throwing them casually. I'm definitely hoping Will is able to bring them around to being a strong part of the game again. More good people helping grow the sport is good for everyone.
Thank you for sharing your insights. I loved seeing Jeff Spring verify all of your grievances relating to DGPT payouts, while attempting to keep his spin positive. Guy was squirming.
I live in Woodstock,Ga. The original home of prodigy and let me tell you. No one here wants their stuff or even really bags it. It’s very common to find Georgia states (prodigy sponsors it) players pack discs on used racks at the local play it again. They tried to do a unsanctioned event where you could come play a round with a few discs and talk to the prodigy reps and team. It didn’t go well. Hopefully will can turn them around.
Not lost on a bet, but that was my first question was if there was some kind of animosity there, was Cale upset that Will got the spot? Pure speculation, no evidence to support that at all and I hope that's not the case, I just thought it odd that within a couple days of the announcement of Will taking over the company, One of the longest Pro Tour players in the brand who had been there since day one leaves
You make a lot of good points, great video! Bummed to see you step back from tour because I love watching your explosive throwing style. Whatever’s best for you and the fam though!
Seems to be a settling point as this game goes through much needed changes. Appreciate you bringing more to light as it comes up. Looking forward to see how the game reels itself in and hopefully continues to build the strong foundation. Some of these manufacturers will and unfortunately some won't. We shall see.
I have an entire bag made up of only prodigy (not my main bag). I decided to put it together to see if prodigy’s discs were as bad as the internet made them seem. I honestly really like their discs aside from their mid ranges. The M3/M4 are great, but I don’t like any of their overstable mids. Where prodigy really shines in my opinion is their putters/approach discs and fairway drivers. The A2/A5 and PA-3/PA-5 are some of my favorite discs. I also really like their F3/F5/F7 fairway drivers. All that being said, I’ve stepped away from prodigy for now. With all the recent media and players leaving left me feeling uncertain about the brand. I still like them, but want to see how it plays out over the next year.
2 things to note here. 1) That original Prodigy team was STACKED. Newer guys have literally no idea how insane that was to see THAT lineup. Mind blowing. And 2) for the years I've known Cale, he's always been a business guy. So as far as speculating that, I'd assume the money wasn't right. He's ALWAYS been about business. Really odd to see him leave after all those years.
Very insightful, thank you for sharing, your takes are always well done. Any connection with the new GT tour and Prodigy? The GT logo and color way seems coincidentally connected to the Prodigy Membership club and more obviously LH.
I see Cale transitioning his value now within the sport by positioning his course development skills with a basket manufacturer such as Discraft or even DGA. Could you imagine the growth potential of course sales, if a company like Discraft would team up a partnership and combine the efforts of the Climo signing and adding Cale to grow their sales of disc golf baskets and course design program? Add in the mix of establishing a disc golf youth initiative within that framework and the growth of sport would have endless possibilities. Make it happen Discraft!
Its always gonna be niche sport. Purses arent big enough to attract non players to give a crap. 10 people in the history of disc golf have been able sustain themselves.
from what ive heard from people who have been on the inside at prodigy over the last 5 years or so. the problem is the people in charge, and thats new people, the old people who gave people those contracts when they started have been pushed out. especially one big investor and a person who was recently promoted, are bringing down the company by their narcissistic leadership styles
The thing about Prodigy is you don't see them BRING anybody to their team who's ALREADY a big name and proven. If a player is top 20 and becomes/is a free agent, they join either: Innova, Discraft, MVP, Discmania, Trilogy, Infinite or maybe Thoughtspace. I don't see how they can maintain any bit of a competitive piece of the market without changing this trend.
I bought Falcor and Reverb drivers from Prodigy EU store for 2,90€ each. It was obvious that Cale (Kalle) was leaving at that point. There are two things wrong with the discs: sharp seams and white sticky polymers emerging on the disc surface after 5 years of storage.
I still use prodigy disc, because they had great players who i wanted to support. Catrina Allen X3, Seppo Paju also has many good ones and now his son. It dont really matter how good you are, than if you are interesting person. Playing style also get many people follow your career and buy your disc. There are many good players, but if you dont like them or their style to play, then dics wont sell. Mostly i buy disc from players who i want to support. It really dont matter what company they are in, if you like the person. Good point from you also with this issue and not bashing prodigy 👍
Prodigy disc is either staying in their means not giving money out they don't have which is smart like innova does. If they don't have the money then the player needs to move on. I don't look down on them at all if that is the case.
I never see Prodigy discs in the store. Not at Dicks, not at Walmart, not at the local disc golf store, not at the handful of party stores and gas stations that are near courses that have a small section of discs for sale.
That’s because the “tour” life is unrealistic and to most people to hard to make a living doing “tour life” just by itself. You would need to to be top 5 in the world or have two or three side hustles just to make it on “tour”. This has been a weird year so far to say the least.
“Tours” when I make my videos I talk about the tours / players that are visible. Cam is a stud but obviously he was playing much more when he was a first round draft pick to Prodigy.
Was definitely surprised by Cale's departure. Good for Will S. getting the promotion, but his interviews over the past couple weeks haven't left me feeling like he's "got it." I've thrown literally one Prodigy discs a couple of times, an A5 made in ~2022. It was fine, felt as good or bad as any other similar disc in terms of plastic and quality of manufacture. But around here in Southeast Michigan, I rarely see Prodigy at all, not for sale and not in peoples' bags. I have one friend that loves her A5, but aside from her I can't recall even ever meeting anyone on the course that was throwing a Prodigy anything. Being spoiled for choice from Discraft and MVP around here means I'm not going out of my way to find Prodigy stuff anyway. I've heard all the plastic and flashing stuff; not sure if it's still true at this point. And, they took some flak for the Gannon debacle that seemed to me as though both sides were as much to blame as the other. At this point, though, doesn't matter. If Will can't convince people they've fixed the quality and that they're going to treat their talent right, they're sunk.
Yes I think the tour as you said will be a bit smaller. It should be. You have a hundred players at 1 event. I think they should have a proper AM and Pro tour respectively. The money these Manufacturing companies could be paid to the best of the best. Not 10 players elite team. Another 20 players tour team. And then a bunch of these sponsored players that never will be showing up at true events cuz they just get some free stuff to throw the brand. I think the top 50ish players battle it out every weekend.
Prodigy should make a move on next gen grabbing baskets and ditch the spit-out ones. The spit outs get a huge attention which hurts them comprehensively
As a consumer prodigy discs esp their drivers are awful in the hand. Not only is flashing an issue but just the molds themselves feel very sharp and their rims feel bulky even for me and I’m 6’6”. Having a rep for great putters doesn’t exactly cut it today when so many companies have great putters PLUS amazing mids and drivers.
Prodigy market share is tiny. A local guy fishes 100s of discs per month out of two water holes, puts photos of those discs on FB. Maybe 1% are Prodigy. Conclusion, no one throws Prodigy
poor logic leads to poor conclusions....any half intelligent person should know that local experience does not equate to general truth. There are plenty of places that would say the opposite of what you just said.
@drew Players get eyeballs and good ones or popular ones command an authority level. (And get more eyeballs) Eyeballs are all some sponsors care about. Why are disc golfer not getting more sponsors like shoes, cars, cigars, etc
Suing Gannon was a really bad move for them from a public relations standpoint. I dumped my A2s for Toros specifically for that reason and never considered trying any other Prodigy disc since then. A bunch of other folks I play with turned did basically the same. For like 3 or 4 months after the chatter on my cards during tournament rounds was about how much Prodigy sucks and other than one guy I see at tournaments who got some street team thing with them I dont see anybody throwing any Prodigy discs. Prior to the Gannon law suit I think you could pull one or two discs out of almost every ams tournament bag.
Maybe the PR could have been handled better, but I don't fault them for the lawsuit. Players sign contracts and should be held accountable to those contracts. It's unfortunate that the situation got to where it did, but Gannon pretty much forced their hand by publicly trying to quit.
I think 2024 had every disc golfer thinking about Prodigy multiple times a month even if it was in a negative light. So we are ALL interested in their 2025 decline or assent. Which is good for them either way.
Has Prodigy every been relevant? Of the few hundred discs Ive found never has it been a Prodigy and I only know one person who baged a prodigy, an A2. Im surprised they've lasted this long
Lots of good analysis. Even if we don't know what is going on we can gain a lot of knowledge based on trends and facts that we do know. For sure Will at the helm will either be sink or swim for Prodigy in the future. The only thing that baffles me is Will was so good but just stopped.
I would love to see what the sales are like for RUclipsrs like Robbie c, Bodanza, overthrow disc golf. I know overthrow and Robbie c teach and I feel like they reach so many more amateurs that would buy discs from them than buying a disc that a pro throws. I have bought signature discs or lines of discs to support my favorite pros, but honestly am more in favor of buying from online teachers and other online personalities who add value to amateurs like myself. Obviously the way the disc feels and flies matters the most. Drew has been putting out a good amount of content online and I watch his channel regularly and would probably buy a disc to support him and his channel rather than the fact that is professional he throws a midrange 400 ft.
The future is players diversifying their sponsorship deals and not relying on disc manufacturers to do the heavy lifting. Kristin Tattar is doing a great job with this. As we all know, her Latitude 64 deal was around $120,000 / year, but she also has sponsorship deals with Porche Estonia, Nike Estonia, Paf (Nordic gambling company), and a supplements brand called Ecosh. Isaac is sponsored by Vessi. Maria Oliva is sponsored by Kavu. Those that know how to hustle, or are good enough they can attract a manager to hustle on their behalf, might have an opportunity to really thrive in these disruptive times. Disc manufacturers and their money is finite, open it up to everything lifestyle related, and the skies the limit.
A players sponsor probably would get almost no air time, on coverage, where the pro tour sponsors get all of the air time. Im talking about signage on the courses, like big sponsors do. Thats up to the tour to do that work. A personal sponsor, in USA, likely wants a return on their investments. Id call disc golf a hard sell, for the players.
I used to believe that professional disc golf would one day become a mainstream sport that gets more than ten minutes a year in ESPN coverage. But more and more it seems that this is little more than a fantasyland dream. It’s still entertaining to watch, but if only 10-15 can make a legit sustainable living, I gotta accept that it’s more a novelty sport than anything else.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
I've bought some bad quality run Prodigy discs, unfortunately, but the PA's, A's and M4 are highly useful molds for me. I hate.... to love Drew !! lol.
i think prodigy will dissolve its pro team OR take advantage of youth players to sign for free99 promotion sake to bolster their brand. OR, sit back and dissolve team and just become a full time sponsor of Go Throw Tour, (which i think is the play since Luke Humphries)
Hey Drew, maybe we should switch gears on these to 'walk and talk' videos. Let's throw discs and blend it's with what's going on, that's all we want to do anyways I think.
Drew needs to either quit the pro tour and become a media personality or focus on his game and quit whining about shit. He's good at both but not at the same time.

Prodigy's talent acquisition and scouting IS FANTASTIC. They surely have the eye for it. They just need to figure out how to keep these people.
prodigy is a stepping stone company. they will never keep a top DGPT standings player once that young player has a breakout season or two.
@ which is unfortunate. Someone over there is starting them off right, then the ball gets dropped somewhere
As long as they keep making the PA-3/PA-5 and A2/A5

The PA5 is goated. I also bag an A5. It flies like a base plastic zone for me

Suing Gannon was a really bad move for them from a public relations standpoint. I dumped my A2s for Toros specifically for that reason and never considered trying any other Prodigy disc since then. A bunch of other folks I play with turned did basically the same. For like 3 or 4 months after the chatter on my cards during tournament rounds was about how much Prodigy sucks and other than one guy I see at tournaments who got some street team thing with them I dont see anybody throwing any Prodigy discs. Prior to the Gannon law suit I think you could pull one or two discs out of almost every ams tournament bag.

Kevin is so good but I don't think he practices much. If he did, he would win.
We need to know who FinishLine is bringing on! Drew, I can probably out distance you on tomahawks… put me in chief
I think 2024 had every disc golfer thinking about Prodigy multiple times a month even if it was in a negative light. So we are ALL interested in their 2025 decline or assent. Which is good for them either way.
Has Prodigy every been relevant? Of the few hundred discs Ive found never has it been a Prodigy and I only know one person who baged a prodigy, an A2. Im surprised they've lasted this long

The future is players diversifying their sponsorship deals and not relying on disc manufacturers to do the heavy lifting. Kristin Tattar is doing a great job with this. As we all know, her Latitude 64 deal was around $120,000 / year, but she also has sponsorship deals with Porche Estonia, Nike Estonia, Paf (Nordic gambling company), and a supplements brand called Ecosh. Isaac is sponsored by Vessi. Maria Oliva is sponsored by Kavu. Those that know how to hustle, or are good enough they can attract a manager to hustle on their behalf, might have an opportunity to really thrive in these disruptive times. Disc manufacturers and their money is finite, open it up to everything lifestyle related, and the skies the limit.
Maria also got Jones Soda Co. which is super badass
A players sponsor probably would get almost no air time, on coverage, where the pro tour sponsors get all of the air time. Im talking about signage on the courses, like big sponsors do. Thats up to the tour to do that work. A personal sponsor, in USA, likely wants a return on their investments. Id call disc golf a hard sell, for the players.
Kristin is in a unique situation as a high-profile Estonian. No American disc golfer is getting a Nike deal.
I used to believe that professional disc golf would one day become a mainstream sport that gets more than ten minutes a year in ESPN coverage. But more and more it seems that this is little more than a fantasyland dream. It’s still entertaining to watch, but if only 10-15 can make a legit sustainable living, I gotta accept that it’s more a novelty sport than anything else.
Outside money came in, saw there was nothing of value, and left.
I can’t stand prodigy. The only brand I would never buy.
The street team ”sponsorship” nonsense must stop.
Their market share is really small.
Open bag accessory sponsor....it can happen
I think they could just focus on advertising and not sponsor high level players
I don’t own a single Prodigy disc. I think I am the problem? 🤷♂️

Drew needs to either quit the pro tour and become a media personality or focus on his game and quit whining about shit. He's good at both but not at the same time.
Why add filler to an already long discussion video?
I think they are going under because most of their discs suck and the quality control is terrible. Just a hunch...
Yeeeehaaww!
