DanJon: great point. MVP is killing it without a single signed pro.
Well, they kinda have one, he just doesn't like to compete in tournaments.

Why isn't MVP giving money and more support to their Pro?
They could definitely do more.

lol just like Scarp knows Innova would have sold tons of Aviars and Rocs without pauls name on them at a nice premium from the proshop?!
good one. Innova laughs all the way to the bank as does Paul.

Herein lies the issue within all of these conversations.
The percentage of DGCR members who might actually have an idea about Disc Golf Market share is a minuscule number.
The fact that people think MVP is "killing it" is the biggest sign of that.
Yes, they are growing. However, Innova is still the largest disc golf company, with Discraft being second. You might find that Latitude pushes its way up there, but MVP has a long way to go to get there. And in the grand scheme of things, they're still both relatively small businesses.
Discraft may be "stagnant" in its disc golf business, but remember that Innova JUST came out with their first ultimate disc. Discraft has been THE ultimate disc for 36 years.
The DGCR world is a small one and we would do well to remember that. The world is bigger than our own experiences.

The main issue I have with them is the fact that I don't like how most of the discs look. The stamps with that blocky type and the rings around them are not appealing.
The plastic colors also look a little drab, especially some of the Ti and Esp blends. The big Z stamps are pretty cool, I almost got a Buzzz in that one. But for the most part they just aren't that pretty.

I don't ever remember seeing an mvp disc make the list.
Innova sells over 50% of all golf discs
Disc-tant 2nd for Discraft
Then Trilogy & MVP fairly equal
then a significant gap, and a grouping of all the regular suspects
So, killing it is relative, in an industry where nobody's really killing it (except patent attorneys). Distribution, saturation, and years repeating A and B. Once you establish longevity you've gotta stay relevant.. most choose to purchase hot young boys.
Community discs "top sellers" are always MVP molds in every single class.
(most of the time all MVP discs on the top 5 too lol)

I couldn't pick a pro out of a lineup and I believe I am in the majority.
Who is Paul?
People really buy discs based on the name on them. Funny thing about that is a buddy of mine throws a valk. It has christian something or others name on it. We call it Christian slater. I couldn't pick a pro out of a lineup and I believe I am in the majority.
