...has thoroughly RUN its course.
This is great news. Ultiworld has been a great addition to the disc golf world. I feel like press like that is a huge step to legitimizing and growing the sport. They always cover the top stories and out of all of our media outlets I feel like they are the closest to asking the "tough" questions. There stories aren't just about promoting whatever athlete is the focus which I feel like a lot of the other media seems to do. I don't really fault them at all for that, they are interviewing their friends and when the pool of athletes in this sport is so small you can't just go asking about topics they don't want to talk about.

Thanks everyone! I kind of meant to come on here and jokingly put myself in this thread, so thanks to Mocheez for that. Looking forward to getting started!

Man, I hate running, in all of its forms...
Eeeeeewwwwwwwww!!!!!! :gross:
I'm under doctor's orders to not run. I giggled when she told me that, for I've not run in years.
Dollar to MVP per this official video off his page

Can't say I didn't call it after all the help they gave him with the US Mini DGC.
That makes me 1/2 this year on calling pros and new contracts. I swung and whiffed on Conrad to Dynamic back in Nov. Managed to guess Dollar's new deal right though.

He says he has his bag all figured out already, you would think if delaying this long, he would have had thorough ITB showcasing his new tools. Anyway good luck to Matt $. Will be interesting to see if MVP develops putters specifically for him, like Trilogy did with Caltrop and Slammer. I think the Slammer seems like a useful upshot disc, but I dont think many will putt with either. Makes you wonder if DD regrets spending the time, money, and resources on developing and promoting these.

Congrats to Matt Dollar on the new sponsorship!
I doubt DD regrets making the Caltrop and Slammer. They're out there and being purchased, and are there for any upcoming pros that might want them.
Neither of those discs were created especially for Matt. Both would have been developed regardless of his presence on the Latitude team. No slight on Matt, but he's simply not the big name, high level pro that companies will create discs for. Besides, when companies do create a disc for a player, they typically put his/her name on it...Feldberg with the Spark and Dagger, Ricky with the Compass, EMac with the Truth, etc.

The Caltrop's development and release seemed to coincide with Dollar joining the team. Perhaps it was coincidence, but I would have to think that part of his decision to join the team at that time was the promise of a thumbtrack putter similar to the Rhyno he used for several years on Team Innova.
It was entirely coincidence. The timing of their release had everything to do with the expiration of Innova's patent on the Thumbtrac and nothing else.
Matt joined Team64 in early 2016. The Caltrop and Slammer debuted in early 2017. Seems odd that if the discs were indeed designed with him in mind that he'd leave a year later. Guess we'll know if MVP comes out with a thumbtracked disc in the next year or so.

Now I eagerly await the release of an MVP thumbtack putter
They'll just make a taller overmold and attach it to the Ion or something.

Also, he didn't putt with either disc.
