Noah Meintsma to DGA from Innova...

Interesting to see DGA pick up Noah + Trevor Harbolt this year, after a few years of inactivity. I thought DGA were dying out as a brand, but I guess they're still kicking. But will this really translate into disc sales for them?
With Noah gone from Innova, does that mean Bradley Williams is the last remaining high-level Nova thrower?
I've always enjoyed watching Noah on video coverage, because of those gorgeous Nova throws. He had a ridiculously pretty shot at the Master's Cup hybrid course a couple of years ago too, I think with a Leopard.

The DGA sponsorship moves may be somewhat coordinated with Discraft since Discraft makes most of the discs for DGA and DGA makes most/all? baskets for Discraft. So, they have joint interests in pros promoting either one.
FYI - Nikko extends with Westside

I am expecting a big 2021 for Nikko
Nate Perkins just announced via Instagram that he re-signed with Discmania.

Not seeing the reason for DM retaining him. He's the odd man out in the camp of crush boys. (No wins in the last 3 seasons doesn't help.)

They sponsor a ton of people. He has his name attached to a really popular disc. He is impossible to dislike. And he is really good about clinics, interviews, working as an announcer, and so forth. If there is value in sponsoring players, then having him go somewhere else would be a loss.
He has 20k instagram followers. :clap: I never would have guessed that. Social media is huge for sponsors, so I get it.

I think Discmania's been pretty clear about wins not being that important. But they also proved you don't need a team full of champions to move product.
