Flight Numbers:The most commonly cited flight numbers for the FX-4 are:
Speed: 9
Glide: 5
Turn: -2
Fade: 2
However, it's worth noting some users experience it as more stable than the numbers suggest, particularly in certain plastics.
Flight Characteristics:
It's designed to have a straight flight path with good glide.
Power players will experience a neutral to understable flight with some movement to the right (for a right-hand backhand throw).
Players with slower arm speeds will likely get a straighter flight with a mild finish.
It has a wider rim than Prodigy's F Series, allowing it to carry more speed and potentially achieve greater distance down the fairway.
Versatility:The FX-4 is praised for its versatility and is suitable for:
Rollers.
Turnovers.
Straight shots.
Glidey hyzer throws.
Hyzer flips to flat or with a gentle turn, especially for players throwing 400-450 feet.
Wooded courses, where its controllable distance and gentle turn at lower power throws are appreciated.
Beginner-Friendly:It's considered a good driver for beginners looking to gain distance.
Review Summary: The FX-4 receives positive reviews overall, with many users praising its reliable and accurate flight, especially for straight shots and controlled turnovers. It's seen as a valuable addition to many players' bags, offering a balance of speed and control. Some users have noted that the 500 plastic, in particular, can be more overstable than the flight numbers suggest, flying more like a straight-to-overstable driver.
