The Inevitable 2016 Pros Switching Sponsors Thread

[bhadella]

Time to get the 2016 switcheroo rumor mill started.

During the Smashboxx podcast, a silly (well, maybe tipsy) Paige Pierce indicated that she would be leaving Prodigy at the end of the year. Later in the podcast, the SB guys reiterated that they hadn't planned on her implying/announcing her leaving but it had happened. Does she go back to Discraft? If not, where?

Looks like another thread popped up before I could submit my thread (darn work getting in the way). Doh.

Lat or Innova.

Inb4 Nikko switching sponsors.

I heard locally grumblings about Big Jerm but his most recent video with the Prodigy A1 appears to squash that.

 

[Halcón]

If she really is leaving Prodigy, then why? I'd assume the grass could only be greener at Innova or Discraft (Maybe Lat, too), and her break from DC didn't end well, right?

I'm still waiting to see if MVP and Scott Stokely formalize anything, or if he just wants to keep promoting them for "free."

She is not the only one switching from prodigy. There are many sponsored players that seem happy with them but really would rather be throwing a star boss or destroyer than the d series. They have decent products but so does everyone. Bottom line is outside of a few team members the next tier of players are not offered the same deal. I'd go innova, trilogy, legacy or discraft too

yeah, sounds like geisinger is pretty unhappy too.

About as good as McBeth playing in the ADGT.

Here it is with a write up and a video that starts at that point of the Smashboxx podcast from Tuesday night.

Nothing concrete, just a little blurb that could mean nothing or something...

Paige's got to be going to innova. She was prominently featured in SpinTV segments, even had scenes with her and mcbeth in a hotel room in Europe, Madison walker is innova and claims Paige is her wife.

 

[hickmant72]

WOW! if paige goes to innova then there gonna have the best female and male disc golfer in the world

 

[sjberry2017]

I'd probably guess Innova for Paige based solely on the fact she seems to be good friends with McBeth. I've also heard on this board she's related to some of the people running DD, so a Trilogy move would probably make sense as well

 

[Monkeypaws]

If I were a sponsored pro, I'd want as many alternatives for discs in slots as possible. To me that is Innova and Trilogy. Sooo many discs to choose from.
