I vote this over all other questions so far.
Any event sponsor at any event is getting sufficient return on their investment?
The old rule of thumb was that Innvoa was always going to have the X% of the market and everyone else was fighting for the % that was left. If that still holds true today, the Discraft resurgence was bound to hit the Trilogy brands harder than anyone else.
Of course we have no sales numbers so no way to prove any of it...
Other sports have enough money to make live viewing work well. I figure, optimistically, we're at least 10 years off, if it ever happens.
Also, I don't have the time to watch 5 hour rounds of disc golf, especially with all the "dead" air in between.

The Pro game will look/play differently in one or more ways 3 years from now (such as different targets, less/more OB, significant rule changes, disc restrictions, tighter set of course requirements, separate elite divisions 1020+ MPO / 940+ FPO). You can do buy/sell on the whole package and/or break out each of the items with buy/sell.

Buy or sell: Europe will win their first President's Cup by dominating FPO and playing MPO even. (Maybe not this year, but soon)

I agree, the amount of high speed drivers that companies keep making are driving new players off, as they are trying to use those as a new player not know how much power and skill is needed for speed 11 and some over stable 10 speed on up. The other is they Keep playing yet have only a teaching putter after 3 years as they read online or saw on YouTube somewhere they have to be able to throw that slow neutral putter 400 feet and with every type of most used throw that far too. Some people will never be able to throw 400 feet with a putter so they give up the sport thinking they can't do the sport.

Buy or Sell: Is the number of chains on some modern baskets making putting too easy?

Actually we could ask Infinite Discs for those numbers of what they sell on Innova, Trilogy and Discraft seeing how they changed from last year to this year.
I mean it's a legit question so I'm not saying this to be a jerk, but I legitimately would rather take a fork to the eye than listen to one more conversation about how putting in disc golf is too easy.

Mine is more on the recent trend starting in the last 10 years of cramming as many chains on a basket so all one has to do is slam putt in 99% the basket parts that have chains with very little chance of cut though that the older styles had some edge side putts that cut though. This not the size of basket or the bottom disc catcher part as having the bigger catcher makes the basket easier and harder for putting at the same time with low putts bouncing off the disc catcher and having more putts stay in that would have jumped out.
Mach X is the worst offender with the amount of chains and you see all but one very specific putt near the top left next to the band as the only missed putt. All other putts make it 90% of the time.

Buy or Sell: Are people using the expensive carts scaring away new players? This is after the new player goes to look up the most popular carts and see the price.
Easy: No one needs an expensive cart to play the game. More people DO NOT own an expensive cart than DO own one.
So the answer is simply, no.

Yeah but I have heard in my area that was the reason a few people did not pick up the game, they thought the idea was to emulate golf coming from that sport so they wanted a cart and when they saw the cost was more then the lower end Golf and got turned off by Disc golf. I think he thought the object was to emulate golf as closely as possible, forgetting he got an almost new older set of golf clubs from a garage sale for cheep with the bag as well and later getting a cheaper off brand cart online.

I know you guys already (briefly) talked about this on the pod not too long ago, but..
Buy or Sell: Why exactly does FPO always tee off earlier in the day before MPO? Would changing it impact the FPO division at all? What do the FPO players say about it?

Buy or sell, is FPO ever going to be big? Are women really all that interested in disc golf?
