Got mine in today, swapped my plastic over, and it's everything I would have hoped and then some. You Can't beat this bag for the price. Can't wait to get it to the course!

How are these bags holding up after a couple months of use now?

If the craftsmanship was anything like my contender they are probably falling apart. :clap:

Still nice. Ive been playing 1-2 rounds each week. Bag is in great shape. Ive shoved all kinds of gloves and layers in and out of the side pockets. Money well spent

Good to hear everything is going great with the catalyst. Glad you are enjoying it..

I don't have any issues with mine, and I've probably managed to play a least a round a week with it. I knew this would be about my average usage as I don't have the free time to play except on weekends. I do wish I had gotten the green just to have it stand out a bit more on the course. Also, it'd be nice if you could get more in the side pockets without it affecting the disc capacity as much as it does, the sides get a little tight for my liking.

I'd buy it again for the $119 I paid for it, but if something happened to it now that led to me having to buy another bag at current prices I might look at other options.

I recently had to send my bag in because the handle stitching ripped on one side. I contacted Scott he got back to me the same day very quickly. I sent the bag in and received it back within a week from ship out to ship back. Along with the bag they also sent me a cryo antidote back with it. Scott also sent me a Prometheus to try. I wasn't expecting to receive a disc let alone two and the turn around time was great. Scott and and Salient went above and beyond what I had hoped for.

I was already in full support of the company and was in love with there customer service to me and they just keep on providing above and beyond service. I already was a lifetime customer but they keep on reassuring that.

Once again, Thank you Scott and Salient, everything you have done is appreciated very much.

Hi Kyle,
Your welcome and I am glad you got your bag back in a timely fashion. Get out there and play some golf now. Thank you for your kind words.

Just checking in I have a pre-order bag, Red/Black. It is holding up very nicely easy to clean and holds whatever I need well. It feels much lighter than my innova caddy pack and still hold what I want. It feels similar to my ranger after a round however it holds discs better than the ranger. I couldnt get through a round on a hilly course without laying the ranger down cautiously or cleaning up a disc spill out. I only have 2 complaints and they've both been mentioned.
1. The mini pocket. I love this bag but that factor is TERRIBLE. I literally cant walk a hole without losing a mini. It sucks. That would be my main thing to tell Chris to try and fix. I considered buying the larger contender bag that was rereleased but hearing that the pocket also wasn't up to snuff im gonna pass.
2. Much more minor in my opinion but the top of the bag could be a very nice storage area in future runs.
This being said I am very happy with my purchase. Also It would be nice to maybe be able to buy an optional rain fly.

HOW ABOUT A BLACK/LIME GREEN VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[preracing25]

Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well and getting out to your local course and slinging some plastic. I wanted to let everyone know we are doing some spring cleaning over at Salient Discs. The grey/green catalyst is now on sale for $100 plus shipping. I know some people said in the past if the price dropped they would consider it so I figured I would pop in here and let everyone know that we do have a sale going on. Get them while they last.

Got one of the lime green ones last week. Took it out for the first time today to throw some practice distance accuracy. What's not to like about it? I would offer more of a review, but I haven't had it long enough. Paid $130 shipped to my door. Looks like maybe I should have waited another week. I got a peach Antidote thrown in so I'm a happy dude. :thmbup:

Glad to hear you are happy Stoney. Keep up the practice and go win some money.

damn, that IS a good deal.

Does this mean the announcement of the Catalyst II is coming soon? If so, can you give us some insight on alterations?

Nope that's not what this is. This is strictly at this point in time us just putting the green and grey bags on sale for the customer. So at this point in time I have no other announcements.

Do *NOT* do business with Salient. If you want a cheap bag that wont even last two months then maybe you can consider the Salient Catalyst.

I pre-ordered one of these. I actually run a disc golf club in the bay area and it was quite embarrassing to find my straps ripping from my bag and the material falling apart. Two months of use, probably 2-4x per week and the bag was already 10x worse off than my innova competition bag. See some pics below:

After I paid out of my pocket to send it back to Salient, I was fortunate enough to receive a 'new' bag. Knowing the bag would fall apart again, I quickly sold it off and purchased a grip bag. With grips warranty and quality, it's the best disc golf purchase I've made in awhile.

Stay away from Salient and their product that's being made in Taiwan or whatever dumpster of a country they can get it made the cheapest.

Just looking out in case any one else was considering doing business with them~

Looks like the stitching failed insanely fast. At least you were able to sell off the next one. Somebody else will be scratching their head. in a few months when that one shreds too.
