(insert pro disc golfer's name) leaving (insert established disc golf company name)

Someone tell me if this works... here

Worked for me

 

[SoupD]

It works! She said "I also have to say goodbye to DD"
She is sporting a GripEQ t-shirt.

 

[Pwingles]

I gathered that she was leaving both...weird, someone has been saying that for 3 threads worth of this...hmmm

 

[Rob Martin]

wow...that just makes this even more tantalizing...choosing to leave both of your main sponsors

Considering GripEQ:

I wonder what Avery and Val will be doing? It's no secret that bag sales (of the signature editions) go directly towards them (and Nate). I can't imagine it being chump change, either. The bags are $100 more than standard editions. I think it's definitely a large enough amount that moving to a company that lets them keep their relationship with GripEQ will be a better financial choice than committing 100% to Innova.

Some have said that Avery is moving to Discmania exclusively... but seeing as they're a branch of Innova, I don't know if that really changes his situation.

OK, I've figured this out....wait for it, wait. for. it...

They're all quitting, moving to a valley in CO, with a reflective force field over their heads so no one can see in, and building a course of dreams with solid gold baskets and tee pads imbedded with precious stones. They're going to take the Lat 64 designer with them to design perfect discs. Once the rest of the DG world collapses, they're going to come back and save us all from disc design communism.

i'm staying put

have anything else you can share, MJ?

 

[TalbotTrojan]

i'm staying put

For the first time in all the rumor threads we have a top pro giving us some solid information on what they are doing. MJ, if watching you at worlds in Charlotte wasn't enough, you just became one of my favorite pros!

 

[TalbotTrojan]

The Paige Pierce video was well lame. Why not just wait till the first to say anything. I respect Paige a lot and will still follow her on tour, but that video brought back memories of Labron on ESPN say he was taking his talents to South Beach. Wouldn't it be funny if all these pros who are leaving Discraft or Innova for this mystery sponsor all made videos saying they were taking their talents to as of yet unnamed sponsor?

 

[Streets]

^I thought of Lebron James too!

 

[mj20300]

you guys know as much as i do about whats going on, probably more!

[New013]

Does being on team DD mean you have to throw DD discs?

Yes, or Lat64/DD. You are allowed to incorporate a few other companies discs during the transition period but the end goal will be an only Lat64/DD bag
