The Inevitable 2016 Pros Switching Sponsors Thread

SGM is generic acronym for player over age 59
MPS = Pro (primarily male) Senior Grandmaster
FPS = Female Pro Senior Grandmaster
 
Looks like Ragna went to Lat64

Heh, nice!

You switched not *so* long ago, right? What's your take on how easy it is to adjust to another company's discs?

It all depends on the person and if the company has all the discs in their line up that the player wants. Really the biggest thing is if they have a putter you like and your approach discs. It took me most of the year to find everything I wanted

I would be like a kid in a candy store! I guess when your performance and career is on the line it's probably more like shopping for laundry detergent in a foreign country.
 
A "person who knows things" told me yesterday that Patrick Brown is being dropped from Innova. Apparently his... shall we say "personality" has worn out its welcome

Yeah I was always surprised people like Nikko were avoided when companies went to sponsor players, yet Patrick Brown got to stay on Innova for so long....

Wouldn't it be ironic if he went to Discraft :p

PB seems pretty tight with JohnE. My guess is that he ends up with lat64.

Can you elaborate on his "personality"? Is it that he acts too much like a tough guy?

He freaks out when things don't go his way. Apparently there was an incident with him at the USDGC this year. I don't know if the story is true or not so I won't repeat it.

I've met him in real life and he was very friendly and nice.
 
I think there was an incident where he stepped on a Discraft hat from a players pack in front of a volunteer. If true, that alone would be grounds for a sponser to drop him.
 
I also hear he spends a lot of time volunteering at Golden Gate Park. He probably is a good guy but those moments whete he made bad decisions are the ones that scare sponsors.
 
He would fit in perfectly with Legacy. Being from California and all.
 
No matter how talented they are, women always catch sh!t for not looking hot at all times. Cheers for goofball pics and "unprofessionalism" in the best sense of the word.
