Discmania does have an extra $1M laying around
Wow, that is a surprise considering his dedication to Shusterick as a mentor. Although, Prodigy didn't seem a like a brand that would really push his social media or give him his own line of discs. Gannon def puts in the work to be successful and seems to have fun doing it. He'll be a great get for any manufacturer.
Whoo boy here we go again
America is just one part of Discmania in their overall market.Thinking out loud here - Seppo Paju retires from touring to focus on Prodigy Europe, and I understand sales are pretty strong there. Discmania opens a big facility in Colorado, moves production around, and released entirely new lines of products after the Innova divorce. They don't seem to be selling as much and just lost their biggest name, and Gannon is still an unknown as far as a "name" to sell plastic. Blowing that $1mil on him doesn't seem to make as much $$ sense without some way for DM to recoup that if he doesn't meet such and such performance/sales expectations.
Didn't Schusterick start with Discmania? Eagle did tease that DM had 'aces up their sleeve' on the Nick and Matt show.
Gannon's move officially makes this the most interesting off-season yet. Where are leaky leakers when you need them?
That'd be a hell of a move for Discmania. If it happens I'd be curious how long ago this was worked out. And what his signature/tour series disc will be.
I bag no Discmania or Prodigy. Curious what others think he'd bag after the move. I'll be confused, it'll be DD something or another versus FD-XP-2 or something. Dude will make it work if it's true. I'll be confused though
My guess on his bag, isn't real earth shattering, but here goes:
PD2 - PD - FD3 - MD5 - Tactic - P2 - P1X
I am betting they don't want new players throwing innova made molds, curious to see how that goes. They are lacking a pro level OS Distance driver currently with the bet bets being beefy runs of DD3...
I am also guessing he would putt links. Part the same reasoning and part the link is more stable and pa3 shaped.
Has babcock come out with any promotional stuff yet or an ITB?

I highly doubt that. Discmania put their first disc out in the fall of 2006. Will was still a barely-known regional phenom (14 years old, at the end of 2006 he had 3 1000 rated rounds to his name in 1 year as a PDGA member, high of 1023). Looking at archive.org it appears he was added to the Innova Scout Team in October 2007, or near that time (not on the website in October - on it in early November).Didn't Schusterick start with Discmania? Eagle did tease that DM had 'aces up their sleeve' on the Nick and Matt show.

Maybe he can get a nice lil one off promotional deal from Franklin.Discmania makes the most sense.
He did say he liked the new Franklin distance driver on the nick and mat show a month or two back. It was fun to hear him talk about goofing with stuff like that with the buddies.
I would love to see him show up to All Stars with a couple Franklin Starter Sets and then roll into LVC with a Discmania bag.

Of course, he's gotta convince them that disc golf is a sport first...
Disc golf, my favorite outdoor game. But golf's a sport! I feel a little better seeing volleyball relegated to the kids table with us. I'm okay with being lumped in with volleyball as an activity.
