I'm a big fan of forehand approaches. Before I had the A3, I used a Westside Discs Harp for these shots. It was great, but I had some problems getting a clean release with it. Also it didn't handle power that well. You had to get a good release without a lot of wobble with it to get it to fly dependable with power. My main problem was that I struggled woth the deep rim of the harp. So I tried out the Prodigy A3 and it's everything I wanted from a overstable approach disc! It's a lot less deep, feeling more like a fairway Driver in hand rather than a Putter/Midrange. I've tried a 300 A3 but it had a weird dome, the plastic beat in really quickley and it wasn't nearly as overstable as some of the other plastics. I carry a 400 A3 which is board flat and just amazing! It handles a lot of torque and just flies straight for a while with decent glide but than it fades hard every time! 400 is feeling great and is rather soft so it won't skip that hard. I also have some 750 A3's which are just a tad more overstable and they are not as flat and also skip a bit more because of the harder plastic. I've heard you have to be lucky to get some board flat A3's because they often come out a little domey, but if you get a flat one it's just the perfect forehand Approach disc and is also great for full power drives up to 80-85m, which don't flip at all but still go straight for a long time. I also use it backhand for the same shots.

One other usefull thing I've found was that they work great as forehand roller discs because of their almost symmetrical and round rims. They go really straight and I can throw them vertically over some Branches 10m in the air and they will still come down vertical and roll straight for a while.

oh yeah and they also whistle if you throw them :D especially with overhead shots
