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

[Streets]

the whole way to make this sport grow is to realize we have to be interesting and fun for people to watch and want to follow! I think its great when people enjoy what i do, i know i sure get a kick out if playing and playing for crowds! I love having galleries and showing people how this game can be played like a professional and still have fun.

^This! Also, can you teach me the art of the Comet?

I would like to thank Innova/Discraft for all their support over the past few years. It's been a great ride. I've decided to move on to bigger and better things for the 2013 season.... (Figured I'd write this out so everyone can just copy and paste)

BigAndy: you gonna stick with Innova this year or are you also jumping ship?

Just go to Schusterick's personal facebook and read the things people are saying. You'll laugh. I promise.

 

[Jeasy13]

Ulibarri and Wysocki both announce they are leaving Discraft and DD and Innova, respectively. Via Facebook.

 

[Bigandy]

You will have to wait til Jan. 1st like everyone else

 

[KMoneyWinthropGold]

LOL....YES!! The obvious one would be the Charlotte Chuckers...they could have the same polar bear mascot and disc colors as the Checkers Unis!

Greensboro Grip-Locks!

Greensboro Grip-Locks? Sign me up! haha

 

[DikenCider]

I think it's all a hoax! No one is changing companies. The pros just wanted to start a conspiracy.

I know it's been said but for all of these guys to leave it has to be BIG news and a BIG company. They are walking away from friendships and long time relationships. IMO, they are doing this to further the sport and help themselves along the way.
I'm going with a NIKE like company stepping into the game.
Anything less than a major brand sitting down at the table would be lame.

 

[lion]

We already know the company is prodigy disc golf. Next question?

I'll send you a $100 paypal if you will tell me!

 

[scarpfish]

The bigger question is, by April of next year, are we even going to care about any of this?

I do have to say that for an upstart company, this has to be the greatest publicity stunt ever. Why spend money on advertising your wares when viral speculation threads on disc golf forums are practically free?

 

[General Scales]

Double G is now gone from Innova. Can we say greatest usurping of talent from companies ever?

WHOA. with money like that maybe you're sponsoring him next year.

I am really most curious about the investors behind this company and why they think taking in all these pros is the way to make the sport explode. On a large scale, recreational players are where the money is.

MJ - you've been one of Bear's fav players for years. Mine too.

And Bear would like to announce he's damn happy with his sponsor "Twisted Flyer" and won't be going anywhere. He's bringing his new little bro Boo on board with him too.
