during the off-season, i would like to see more of you guys playing cool, small, quirky private courses and generally reporting more on amateur disc golf. cheers!
Although player sponsorship has never affected any of my disc purchases or players I enjoy watching play, I can understand that many folks find it important. I keep waiting for sponsorship announcements that affect purse sizes so that far more pros can actually make a living that is at least as good as middle class laborers.
I have a feeling some players are going to be stuck until some of these smaller brands like Trash Panda or Scot Stokley's brand Stokley Discs have enough money to sponsor a player team. I also feel some like Gateway and other older brands as old as Gateway or older that have a full lineup but without a team may step in to have a team in the upcoming next few years if the situation does not improve next year. I could also see some bag only brands actually stepping up sponsorship to be a full time sponsor for players so they can be an open bag team. This is for the around 80 players from Hall of Discs buyout that could be displaced from the team due to cost cutting from the owner/group who owns these mostly European companies.
Do you think Prodigy discs is going under? I noticed even their website they are basically cutting the cost of every item they have by like 50-75% off. I do know its black friday week as well but this sale kind of seems like a liquidation?... Most of the local stores have stopped carrying prodigy as well. Lmk what you guys think about what is happening to prodigy?
I don’t think any of these companies can afford to pay any of the current big name players any real money considering how the industry is not in great shape and disc golf growth has tanked.
This is all stupid speculation, but it would be wild if players got traded between brands like players on teams in pro sports. I'll trade you a Kyle Klein on a limited contract to sign a Robinson brother. That kind of thing.
@@trev3971 I play with multiple people who bag Pures. It's also offered in pretty much every plastic Lat64 makes for a reason. I also know a lot of guys with Graces in the bag because it's less stable than a Wraith. Almost exclusively with KTs Wolf stamp. She moves discs regardless of what you see in your leagues.
There’s a good amount of us that only watch this channel cause it’s way more interesting than the way I used to do it which is just scrolling Reddit nonstop 🤷♂️
Do not like the hats, they are made for heads around John Wayne sized only. PS nowhere to Pre order the hats or see what they look like in a bigger picture.
Kyle Klein has never been "the guy" at discmania. Before it was Simon and Eagle and then it was Niklas and Gannon

Attending a Creed concert in therapeutic sketchers has to be the best "low" burn ever.

Does anyone really care what plastic Kyle Klein throws? Probably the least liked player relative to his accomplishments.
Kyle Klein to MVP right here in Michigan. LFFFFGGGGG!

Trading players? What kinda communist thing is that lol
Hard to sell pay per views for worlds when you can watch free with vpn. And be confused by the finnish commentary. 😄
i can help by saying that you shouldn’t say “you guyses.”
Outside of Paul and Simon, have any big money players deals ever been worth it?
Ricky Wisocki maybe becuse he has his fan base and even more when he calls out players for taking more then a minute on just the throw alone.
Think KT has been a good deal. She seems to move a lot of Graces and Pures. Maybe Saint Pros as well?
Neither of them were worth it. Ricky has been

Hmm, Kyle Klein chillin with Matty O at Westside tho....
A whole lot of old news and obvious speculation. Waste of my time. Unless someone only watch this channel.
