I wonder if Simon or Eagle are interested in my unthrown PD2 stash.

But DM had to have known he was going to not want to switch for a while. Obviously i do not know the timing of when the factory actually got up and running, but if they could have done it far enough in advance for him to get used to the putter, that would have been the ideal situation.
Of course if they only recently actually got production up and running, that is an entirely different situation which they cannot be faulted for.

Interesting. Tell me more about how they differ from Discatcher and what makes them inferior. Looking at the specs (vs this https://www.pdga.com/technical-standards/equipment-certification/targets/discatcher-pro-new) the only really noticeable difference is the 5cm deeper basket.
It is his sponsors product. Says so right on the bottom, I believe. I can't get on board with that argument if it was fine before. We could split hairs and say that Innova players can't throw something that says Discmania on it, but that's easily remedied.
Can you make an extremely understable approach disc called the Dezone?
I was buying understable putters and approach discs last night, so... semi-serious?
Looks like Jerm is rocking the KP2s at Worlds opcorn:
In the FPO coverage, mention was made that Holly Finley was throwing an MD.
I was actually speaking about the specific ball that you play with. IIRC, and it's been a long time since I saw this so I could be wrong, you have to register the specific brand and type of ball you are playing with before a round on the pro tour. Whereas, by the USGA rules, you just have to play the same ball from tee to green on a hole unless you lose that ball during the course of a hole. Otherwise you are free to switch at any point.
Like I said, a sort of pointless aside.
Which is wild because the MD isn't *that* different from her signature Mako3
The biggest thing is the single ring vs double ring holding the chains at the bottom. Single ring makes the chain unit a lot heavier and leads to some ridiculous spit outs (center chain just over the rim kicking back, lots of pro side spits) There is a fairer catching area in a US Discatcher, there is also a wider chain assembly in the US version.
What initially made me curious is at Quarry Park the owner bought in 18 European Discatchers (as they were known then) in around 2009/10. From the outset there were weird spitouts apart from on one basket on the course which everyone preferred. Turned out this was a US version basket (took a year or so for me to actually realise this and the course owner was unaware) At the time there was only one PDGA approved Discatcher model.
