The Prometheus is a distance driver rated 14/4/-1/1. A single point of turn and a single point of fade at speed 14 suggest a long, fast flight that stays close to its release line, with slower arms seeing an earlier finish. It was the first PDGA certification from Salient Discs, a small South Carolina brand of the 2013 to 2014 era that the PDGA directory now lists as inactive. The release copy Salient supplied to the PDGA called it a large diameter, wide rim driver with added control and glide over smaller discs, turning slightly and landing softly when thrown low and flat. The record backs the size talk: a 22.6 cm diameter against the common 21-and-change, with a 2.6 cm rim, the widest among the brand's five certified molds as of 2026. A speed 14 frame that wide is not a beginner's disc. TryDiscs records a Liquid run of the mold. PDGA approval came on 3 September 2013; the brand's rows here are all marked discontinued.

Reviews

9 reviews from 1 store

The Salient Prometheus has only 9 reviews so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
