I agree with this, but it would be nice to see the difinitive "better roc". I don't know what really innovative concepts you could incorperate into a mid. I mean, the Prometheus has the control of a mid, glide of a fairway driver and distance of a long distance driver. What would they do with the mid? Glide of a fairway driver, control of a putter and distance of a mid? lol... Just not sure what you could do other than perfect what we already have.

to be honest with you? i have a few intents for using this disc.
1) to train with to feel the "hit" easily since the rim has so much weight.
2) for SUPER long OH rollers. crucial to me since i throw LHFH/OH and RHBH. if i don't have the space for a backhand roller, then i want to use OH.
3) massive freaking skips, if possible. i can name a few uphill shots where there is a low ceiling. you can take a spike hyzer route up and around the tree or you can really rail it at the hill and have it skip a LOOOONG way up to the top, by the pin. i love to try and take alternate routes. it's fun, and actually sometimes more reliable than just throwing the disc to the pin.
if they could make a harder or more OS version of the prometheus, i think it would skip better and roll better. i could see it being a freaking amazing utility disc, being OS yet still getting great distance and use.
i think how heavy it is would help counteract the sail effect as a roller since the disc itself is so huge, but i don't know for sure. just toying with ideas in my head.

training to feel the hit is better with a light disc

Don't expect to hit huge skips with this disc like a triple x or trident. The skips on the Prometheus are very minimal. One of the things I love about it

hmm. i throw light discs, but when i threw the prometheus (one time, let's keep in mind) it was blatantly obvious when i was supposed to grip/when the hammer was pounding because there was just so much weight, impossible to not feel the weight slamming around.
maybe i'm doing it wrong. **shrug** wouldn't surprised me; that's why i've got a thread in the technique forum, haha.

Heavy discs can be useufl for improving overall speed and "power" after you already have solid technique. Feeling the hit requires muscle memory and repetition, which is easier to do when the object is light. Or well...thats how it worked for me and the ones I teach

do these things fit in disc golf bags?

In backpacks, the stick up but yes they do fit. Thinner and slightly smaller in diameter than a condor

We tested them in bags at Disc Nation. They fit fine. If you can fit a condor in your bag, you can fit a Prometheus
Putter pocket disc? I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but condors don't fit too well in voodoo bags, or any bag that has hard side walls.

Well considering most putter pockets are designed for putters...

All premium bags have a depth of at-least 9 inches, Prometheus is less than 9 inches in diameter and we made that a point during the design that it would fit in all DG bags/backpacks including our upcoming Catalyst backpack.

It does not fit into the main disc compartment on my Simian.

No offense but I don't consider the PVC frame in the Simian the best test.
It fits in a Grip, Golf Mahal, Ranger, contender, and carolina Revo just to name the ones I've tested.
You should make your next one bigger. I have a Golf Mahal, I don't care if it doesn't fit in anyone else's bag.
I'm gonna shoot a video with the driver tomorrow if the rain stops.

Definitely can't wait to see your throws with this Mike

It fits in mine (version 2). Though it's a tight squeeze past the zippers, once past them, it's easy. Better in the mid or lowest section.

I like it. Go big or go home. I took Prometheus down to the Augusta classic this weekend and saw it fly a long ways!
