it appears each team member is getting about 10 grand a year salary,plus i assume a % of each disc sold. that's my guess.

From Lavone Wolfe's Facebook page:
Descriptions for the first four drivers:
The D1 is a very fast, over stable driver designed for power throwers. This driver is good for all conditions and flies just as well into the wind as it does down wind. The flight path is similar even in lighter weights. The D1 flight is very consistent and with a much narrower flight path than conventional long distance discs making it more accurate and forgiving. 174.3g max weight.
The D2 is a very fast, slightly over stable driver designed for all throwers. This driver is good for all conditions and flies just as well into the wind as it does down wind. The flight path is similar even in lighter weights. The D2 flight is very consistent and with a much narrower flight path than conventional long distance discs making it more accurate and forgiving. 174.3g max weight.
...
The D3 is a very fast, moderately stable driver designed for all throwers and flies extremely far. The flight of the D3 is unique due to it's ability to flip up and then glide without extreme turnover drift or a hard hyzer finish. Players can trust this disc when thrown with power knowing that it will flip up but won't flip over. The D3 flight is very consistent and with a much narrower flight path than conventional long distance discs making it more accurate and forgiving. 174.3g max weight.
The D4 is a very fast, under stable driver. It is designed for all players and flies extremely far. The D4 will turn up when thrown hard and will then react similar to the D3 with its long glide and gentle finish. The D4 flight is consistent and with a narrower flight path than conventional long distance discs making it more accurate and forgiving. 174.3g max

more accurate and forgiving. Which is good. I feel the discs in my current bag are too disposed to holding grudges. 
I'm actually quite curious if the D3 lives up to its description. There's a LOT that's going to be scrutinized about these discs. If they can nail flight and consistency in the high speed drivers, then just put out an Aviar of some sort, they should be good to go.

Makes a lot of sense. I doubt they know every plastic pusher out there - and not every plastic pusher will order every new disc . So it makes sense to encourage potential customers to let them know about their particular vendor.
Pics of the discs from PDGA site and Facebook. The putter Nikko has looks pretty shallow.

Groove top?
Tomorrow I'll see someone post somewhere else on the Internet that they heard this new driver has a Groove top.

I wouldn't worry about picking apart the flight descriptions on each disc
They have to find a way to make the disc appealing. You can't predict flight until the disc in your hands. And they don't have the luxury of having a Teebird or Buzzz to compare every disc to

The specs are now on the PDGA document. Here they are compared to the Boss and Destroyer. They look to be about speed 12.

I have Arroyo aluminum portable basket for couple of months and it is great basket and welding job is top notch. They just came out with steel version so the steel version will be great for permanent installation.

Prodigy discs are made in the USA and they are not subcontracted to any other disc manufacturer.
Good luck with the new company! :thmbup:

Looks like all the distance drivers are taller with the same rim depth. So these must be domey?
