Earlier this week Jussi posted on Discmania Collectors and Throwers Group that Innova owns all the molds and mold parts to all the Originals, Discmania only owns the disc names.
So I guess my Discmania stash just went up 5x in value.
Possible changes -
Discmania makes their own molds and buys their own machines.
Over time and with volume, their profit would grow versus having to pay a margin to other companies to use their molds and have them manufacture your discs, ship them to you, etc.
Makes their own molds but has Lat64 (or someone else) manufacture the discs.
Really crazy would be if Discmania aligned with Discraft.
Discmania is in Colorado, Discraft in Michigan.
One might think the McBeth exodus has ongoing ripple effects as Discraft continues to rise to new levels.
I recall an interview Dunipace gave a couple years ago where he stated overseas sales are limited for disc golf, I think he mentioned that in the Philippines the average monthly household income is $ 30, so no way they can buy discs..
But if Jussi aspires to go global, he needs to find ways to get the cost of manufacturing and distribution way down.
We saw Paul McBeth install a course in La Paz, Mexico this week, an opportunity to grow the sport, but needs lower price points. There was a picture of him installing a basket in the middle of some boulders, totally thrashes the discs, I would have focused on disc preservation and kept the basket away from the boulders.
The disc golf world is changing, is Innova getting left behind ?
Not really, demand greatly exceeds their capacity, so they are expanding facilities, adding shifts, etc., but so are the other companies. You will also notice price points are up on some discs, Halos sell for more, etc.
A growing industry, but relative to other industries, very few profit from it, so people need to make moves, good luck Jussi !
On behalf of everyone at Discmania, we are grateful for the relationship and opportunity Innova gave us in our first 15 years
