Flight Numbers:Flight numbers are listed as:

Feel:
Beadless design with a comfortable rim that is generally considered easy to grip.
Some players find the bottom rim a bit sharp initially, but it tends to be less noticeable during actual play and may help the disc stay near the basket.

Considerations
Some users have noted that the 350G plastic can become overly tacky in hot weather and may not be ideal for throwing in cold conditions due to its brittleness.
The sharper rim may take some getting used to for some players.
While suitable for putting, some players prefer softer plastics for this purpose and find the PA-2 to be a bit fast for very short putts.
Overall, the Prodigy PA-2 is a reliable and versatile putt and approach disc, particularly favored by those seeking a stable to slightly overstable flight and comfortable feel for both throwing and putting.
