Watching a seasoned player reach for their M2 on a tight wooded hole tells you everything about this midrange's character. Most understable mids get pigeonholed as beginner discs, but Prodigy's M2 demands more respect than that.
The rim feels surprisingly substantial for a -2 turn rating — not quite as deep as a Buzzz, but with enough beef to handle real power without folding over completely. Launch it flat with authority and watch it hold straight for longer than you'd expect before gently drifting right, finishing with just enough fade to bite without dumping hard. That controlled flight makes it absolutely lethal for threading gaps where a stable disc would crash and an overly flippy one would turn into a roller.
What sets the M2 apart from other understable options is its glide-to-stability ratio. Four glide units paired with that -2 turn create this beautiful floating quality that lets the disc work right on minimal power while still being controllable at full send. Need to hyzerflip a long tunnel shot? The M2 pops up to flat and rides that line forever. Throwing into a crosswind? It actually fights back enough to stay predictable.
Smart players bag this as their go-to turnover mid, but it's equally valuable for newer arms who need something that won't dump left every throw. The versatility surprised me — smooth anhyzers, gentle hyzers that flip to flat, even some roller potential if you really crank it over. Sure, it won't replace your workhorse stable mid, but for those shots where you need finesse over force, the M2 delivers every time.
