BUT...(and I've said this before) the iron is hot and if you want to make a big pile 'o cash from disc golf, do it now. All the cash might be gone tomorrow. This goes quadruple for James, who right now has "The Shot" to cash in on. It just seems logical to make a move that is going to help him cash in; money is money.
I agree that he doesn't need to do brand building, and that his play speaks for itself.
But I also think he could benefit from a larger social media presence. He is well known enough and (as far as I can tell) generally well liked enough, that he can generate a lot of clicks.
That's if he wanted to put in the effort to make it happen, and/or work with folks that can help with such things. It might be too much of a distraction. He always seems very focused on getting it done on tournament days, first and foremost. Obviously that's been working out so far.
yah better do it before the market gets oversaturated with all these poser "brands"
what are we blaming these days social media or capitalistic culture or what
will this elevate dg to the next level or will it be the decline

looks like the someone i knew who knew someone was correct with Cat to DGA.
Now when Discraft buys DGA this will all come full circle.

I don't understand why they'd want to buy DGA if they already get the benefits of their basket manufacturing.

Sounds like we need a sitcom of him and Brodie sharing an RV on tour. Pretty sure NBC could pull it off if they have any writers left over from The Office or Parks and Rec
She already have a Proto driver out
"Once officially released, this will become one of Catrina's Signature Edition discs within the DGA lineup."

that i don't know, i am just spreading rumors i heard, from who i heard them from they were right on the Cat to DGA front, so running with it lol.
DGA makes some of the best baskets on the market, so why not have that under your business umbrella as well?
I was reading an article online about this on Ultiworld; it said "DGA's previous top talent, Matt Bell, announced he'd be leaving the California company for 2022 and beyond, and was replaced with another marquee MPO name in Andrew Marwede." Who and who? I mean I'm a disc golfer and I kinda follow this stuff; there was no "marquee MPO name" in that sentence. :|
When I read things like that, it feels a lot like the old "fake it 'til we make it" vibe. "Hey, lets pretend anybody knows who Matt Bell or Andrew Marwede are and make it seem like that sponsor switch matters in any way to anybody." :\

Is it just die hards that know who they are? I know both of them. Marwede is young and could be making a splash in the near future. But idk about "a marquee name." Bell has his moments.
So to get this back on track, will Cat throw an APX/Reef? If so, will they release it in a premium plastic?

To be honest I had no idea who Marwede was until the middle of this last season when he started showing up in coverage.

had he not played a local event in my area i would not have known who he was.
I really want to try a Reef, but there are none to be bought. I really do hope this will get some DGA discs (not just the ones Cat will throw) onto shelves.

Marwede did really well in 2021 with multiple top 5 finishes in NT/DGPT events.
