Actually the amount stated is seven figures a year. Yes, that could be $1,000,000. But it also could be more than that each year.
And the buyout is really interesting to me.....seems to show how much he really wanted to leave DM and how much MVP really wanted him. The article said Simon was signed with DM until 2026.
Which MVP plastic is the closest to a baseline plastic like Dynamic Discs' Prime plastic?
I'm very curious - I've been wanting to move to a more locally produced putter for the past year-plus, and get off my Prime Deputies for something from MVP or Discraft. I was leaning toward the Fierce, but they're a pain in the ass to get in non-premium-priced Pierce branded stuff. I want something I can grab a whole stack of for less than premium prices.

I putt with MVP electron Anode putters. It will probably be the closest match to your Deputies.

You can have seven figures with 2 digits to the right of the decimal point.

His official/previously known contract was to expire 2023, but according to Charlie on the Upshot they signed an extension in 2022 (I believe it was during spring or early summer) where the 1 mil buy-out was introduced.

I swore I was the only player on the planet putting with anodes. Nice to see I'm not alone. Might be hard to come by soon if Simon sticks with them.....
I've putted with Anodes for several years now. They're good.
There's dozens of us!
Dozens!
So I generally like the Infinite Discs cross-company ratings system. Would you say their ratings in this case are way off?
Their ratings:
Deputy: 3 / 4 / -1.4 / 0
Anode: 3 / 3.1 / 0 / 0.4
Spin: 3 / 4 / -1.7 / 0
In terms of physical profile all three are very similar, with both the Anode and Spin being just a touch smaller diameter, the Anode being slightly taller and Spin slightly shorter, and the Anode having the same rim depth as the Deputy.
All told the two most important characteristics for me are the glide and the low speed fade, which is where the Spin and Deputy are most similar on this rating scale. This wouldn't be a throwing putter, it would be a putting putter. So being able to have more glide at the same speed and having less fade when at the low speeds that putting happens at means I don't want to transition to the Anode if the Infinite Discs numbers are accurate.

Paige Shue to Discraft.
MVP may come out with an e-tron soon.

One good Paige deserves another.
Another new Paige in the story of Discraft.

I think anodes glide comparable to really any other putter I've thrown. I'd have given my electrons 3/4/0/0. Maybe 3/4/-.5/0
Would never had guessed that…a world champ and not on the elite team..
And I thought something was of between Paige and Paige

That's the 2nd Paige Discraft tore out of Dynamic's book.
You expect to find something between the Paiges?

Even if there was it wouldn't make any difference. Players don't have to like the other players sponsored by the same company. (see Paul and Brodie for example)

Lol, Discmania/Innova has had 13 years to duplicate those first PDs. Still trying.
