Most likely Tourney. I can throw mine at full power and get the result I was really expecting so lighter weight should be perfect for both of us.

Z Buzzz SS on roids?
any side by side comparisons to a scorpion? seems like a wide rim, lower profile scorpion when you look at the specs. i'm wondering if it'll just be 30ft longer than a scorpion. a lot like the possible distance difference you'll see between a valk and destroyer.
Were t scorpions pretty darn OS? This sounds like its a lot straighter and much faster.
Anyway, just got word mine came in the mail today, will take it w/ me to league tonight and see whats up

He's probably talking about the Millenium Scorpius

Factory Second Prometheus, only 14 bucks! Usually a F2 from Salient means differences in flight, but this time around, they are all cosmetic. Get a steal of a deal here! MSRP is usually 20!

What's rim width? > 2.6 ?
Titan037
AKA dgfanatic7
2.6 exactly.
Those are the two I got as testers. One is 190, the other is 188. I have three production models coming from a group buy as soon as TOURNEYPLAYER can get them to me.
The 190 has a thicker flight plate, but slightly unfortunately it's a bit warped. If I set it on a desk, one edge is 1cm higher than the other edge, and the warping in the flight plate is easily visible with the naked eye.
I don't think it will affect flight very much.
The 190 says "Test #7" and has an "X" in the center dimple (bottom side) with what looks like "144" written on it. The 188 is a teeny bit brighter blue and says "Test #9" and "146" on it. Both are about 7/16 of an inch wider than a Z Comet.
It's rained all day but the sun is out now so I'm tempted to go throw somewhere. Screw it - I think I will. More tk.

And since this seems to be the official Prometheus porn thread. I'll add a pic as well...

Just got some more throws in with this thing. Man, I can't wait for a lighter one.
It is really responsive to release angles, almost neutrally so. I got it to hold an anny on a sharper one, had it flex out on lighter annies. Even hyzer flipped it to flat at one point, and I normally SUCK at hyzer flips. Still only getting it out to about 280-300, but I feel like a lighter one could definitely give me an extra boost.
I will say that the wider rim does mess with me a little, because I tend to put more stank on it to compensate for needing to get up to speed, rather than being smooth. As a result, I OATed it and turned it over at one point, but it was all me.
Curious to see what some of my bigger-armed compadres can do with this thing.

I'm hoping to get some pulls with this on Monday. I throw first run z nukes for distance along with pop top proto star xcals. My longest drive being 480. So I'm hoping to see how this performs.
O boy. If you got one to flip at 280-300ft of power then im a little worried what us bigger arms can do. I was hoping for something stable to overstable, not stable to understable. I guess im going to have to wait and see what they ar elike when I get mine

lots of reviews stating different stabilities.

Prometheus reacts much better with spin. If you spin it then you will get a very straight flight in part due to its larger diameter, if you try to strong arm it then you will get a slightly more overstable flight simply because of its mass.

I would have to say in my experience thus far, with a RHFH shot, this flies stable/understable

I got in a few pulls last night.
My open field time was limited by the soccer team, so I didn't get quite as many as I wanted. For reference I throw my Volts 320-340 on golf lines, with the same power the Prometheus was flying 40 feet further. I will test it against some other high speed drivers I have sitting around this weekend.
