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

I have heard from someone fairly in the know that Feldberg didn't get asked to join Prodigy, and Innova dropped him. As of now Feldberg has nothing going. Again not confirmed but I trust the source.

That would be some amazing karmic retribution!

Chris, I heard that what you were saying in the Non-Stop DG thread as well. The same person told me he wrecked that venture, and as such is why he wasn't invited to Prodigy...Again just what I heard. Apparently he was in on it/maybe even creator about 3 years back, he lost the original investor, and when the young guns finally landed the current investor (Lavone), he wasn't a part of the plans any longer. And again, I heard that Innova dropped him...could be wrong, but I trust the source.

 

[Pwingles]

Technically Innova dropped everyone

 

[Menacewarf]

Anythings possible but in that case innova must have some of it's own drastic plans in the works. How does the reasoning work...

" Let's see.... two of three best young players in the world leaving, Climo's getting older and playing masters, AJ can't crack top ten in a major, let's see who's left......Felberg? Oh yah, might as well get rid of him."
If that's the case then Innova is going all in with McBeast as the face of the franchise which is likely true anyway but still. Doesn't pass the sniff test. But hey like I said anythings possible.

 

[Pwingles]

Idk about any of that. All I know is Innova would have you believe that they gave everyone an ultimatum (lies) and that this was a prelude to the events youre seeing now and not a reaction (also false)

For sure the Innova team thing and Prodigy are two seperate deals not having to do with one another. I'm just saying I heard he wasn't invited to the Prodigy deal, AND he was dropped from Innova. Not that they were related in any way.

Feldberg isn't an Oregon person anymore. There's a group of good players that's relocating to a warmer place now for their place of residence.

A kind of "sweet home" base where the skies are so blue & they can watch the Tide Roll in?

If Dynamic Discs could bet on any one of their team members leaving their manufacturer sponsor to stay with Team DD, it would be Eric.

Just sayin'...

Isn't he from Emporia?

I thought that mcbeth also left Innova ?

I got to play a round with Jeremy Rusco, DD owner, a couple weeks ago, and while he didn't "confirm" that McCabe was leaving Discraft, I do know that McCabe has been throwing the new DD line and letting Jeremy know his thoughts. When I asked how McCabe would be able to throw them, Jeremy just said there could be some changes coming, and smiled. So I think McCabe will be joining the DD team.

Feels good to offer a little "insider information"

I realize this thread is big but it has been stated many times, including by McBeth himself, that he is staying with Innova.

Still plenty of talent on Team Innova- McBeth, Champ, Feldy, Barry, Avery, Matty0, Anthon, Brinster,Schweb, Sexton, Crabtree, etc, etc- All of those guys are 1025+ rated players. Every year a new player or two emerges as well.

I'd argue the true elite-ness of some of that list.

Champ, - doesn't travel much played masters at worlds.
Barry- Masters, prolly limmeted schedule too
Avery- not many wins in big tourneys as of late
Matth O- Regional, limmeted success recently in majors
Anthon- doesn't play much but usdgc
Scweby- Regional
Sexton - regional doesn't tour
-Crabtree same as Nate

Brinster is the only one of those guys you mentioned besides feldy and Macbeth who we already brought up, which Is face of the franchise, major winning, elite, touring pro. And I'm not even sure if he's won one lately though likely some A tiers. The rest though. 1025+ sure. Face of the franchise? Not sure

Not a lack of talent by any means.

Don't forget Colglazier

Don't forget Colglazier

Think I read that he was leaving too. Could be wrong, big thread.

Wow really? He was on the team for like 6 months lol.

 

[discddwn]

Yeah he's gone too evidently. Alabama is suddenly looking like a really good place for disc golf
