Boy that escalated quickly I mean that really got out of hand fast it jumped up a notch it did didn’t it I’m Jefferson from the discov world with a weekend wrapup recapping everything discov you missed over the weekend happy New Year dis generates New Year same disc golf

World but for some disc golfers the same can’t be said it was only a matter of time before the announcement of Ganon Burr leaving Prodigy after the whole debacle last year if you really thought Prodigy was somehow going to keep Burr you’re crazier than Ganon posting horizontal videos on Instagram in 2024

For those that don’t know almost a year ago Ganon tried to leave pry before the end of his contract that resulted in an eventual dropped lawsuit and after that it was pretty much silent of course there was even speculation that some said he was even noticed at the dis

Mania headquarters now it’s only a matter of time before we find out where Ganon is headed but for now it’s guessing time if you haven’t watched the video Ganon posted here it is but I will say listen closely 2023 was an amazing disc golf season I had five disc golf

Protour wins met some amazing people and played some awesome courses out there I also had a ton of fun with my friends on the road after seven Great years I will be officially leaving team Prodigy at this time I need to make the choice of a champion to continue to be the Leading

Edge in this sport I’m a dynamic player and I believe I need to reinvent my game to be the world leader in disc Sports make sure to be on the look out for an announcement soon I can’t wait for the 2024 season and I hope to see you guys

Out there hopefully you noticed the different taglines he said in the video referencing every major manufacturer choice of Champions being Innova Leading Edge as MVP Dynamic which most probably picked up on the reinvent my game line quickly filled the comments as evidence to a dis Mania signing for those that

Didn’t realize the joke after the first watch and finally the world leader in disc Sports being disc craft I got curious so I checked if Ganon followed each brand on social media he happened to be following each except for one MVP now in no way am I saying this is

Evidence of anything rather just interesting if the thought was MVP getting Eagle then they should have plenty of money to get Ganon and honestly why wouldn’t you want him over McMahon he’s younger building a fan base cares about the game oh and isn’t battling an ongoing injury I understand

The Simon Eagle relationship but we as disc golfers got to let that go imagine a lazat bur team the veteran showing the ropes to the new generation doesn’t get much more awesome than that Alden Harris also announced his departure from praji after 6 years the past six years have

Gone by so fast from playing in local C tiers in ma2 every week to now heading into my fourth year of full-time touring as a professional pry was there and believed in me through it all from the very moment they asked me to be on their street team 6 years ago they’ve treated

Me like f family and I’m forever grateful for it although I will always love pry and will miss everyone there I’m excited for a new chapter in my career this didn’t come as a surprise as earlier this offseason he was spotted joining dis Mania collector Pages adding

To the Ganon to dis Mania Theory as well as Nicholas anela leaving disman Mania either latitude 64 offered him a lot of money to join the team or dis Mania needs more room for big players he would go on Instagram to say when I started playing in 2015 my goal was clear I

Wanted to be good at this thing I wanted to win finish Championship I could only dream about something bigger like European championships or Majors those dreams scared me and some of them still do I also wanted to make disc off my job one of my dreams came true in 2021 after

Winning European championships in Kona pich day and later that year we signed a 2-year extension with dis Mania I could call myself a professional athlete and play in the US for the last 2 years I’m so grateful to dmania for their willingness to help me go after my dreams however after three finished

Champion titles and a year European champion title and numerous memories it’s time to turn a new page in my career announcement about my future coming in a few weeks all right time to go full tin hat mode why because it’s fun so quick disclaimer this is all wild speculation until further notice Ganon

Mentioned five different manufacturer taglines he references five wins on tour and follows 555 people on Instagram conveniently House of diss has an attachment to five Brands none of which bur references besides Dynamic and I mean he did say he was a dynamic player after all I’m probably still drunk from

New years’s but if House of disc somehow secures Ganon and he is allowed to throw five different brand discs holy oh yeah and as of right now as far as I know House of discs hasn’t fully acquired dis Mania just produces their discs which is the same thing that

Happened to Dynamic at first if dis Mania was acquired that would make them the fifth manufacturer they would have those damn five okay back to reality now Anthony Bella now a social media star tries to teach the young Burr how to use Instagram someone how to do it also dropping my

New favorite Ganon nickname hope to hear that in the booth in 2024 Drew Gibson of course commented I’m more surprised he didn’t leak anything yet that might be why bird doesn’t follow MVP just saying but Ganon answered the most important question stating he ate approximately 3,567 chicken nuggets while on the road

A true professional athlete diet Prodigy now losing arguably the most promising Talent they’ve ever let go watching back the highlight tape they made for Ganon which I will say was probably the best thing they ever did for him I realized all that he had accomplished and to

Never make him the face of your brand is just stupid what Ganon was able to do for pry at such a young age was insane the youngest player to be a thousand rated more wins than any other of their players a US title and let’s be real

Actual fans to Prodigy we we had the opportunity to ask Ganon what he was looking for and a sponsor earlier this season and this is what he said you’re coming up on a new contract what are you looking for in a sponsor yeah just someone that will uh support me uh you

Know allow me to kind of like maybe design my own line of discs would be really important for me I want to like share I want to share my thoughts with the world about how like I I want like a disc for myself to fly or something like

That uh you someone that’s going to support me well and uh really get my marketing up there that way I can you know Market myself as a as a brand and a pro and I can kind of build my build my game from there it sounded like Ganon

Wanted to follow the main stream of creating his own disc line which possibly wasn’t given to him by Prodigy but what my takeaway was the marketing I think it’s no surprise that Prodigy sucks at marketing their players granted they’ve been doing better but if Ganon could attach himself to a sponsor that

Could push him out he could be such a bigger name which is scary to say because he already is Making Waves in the sport imagine a better support system behind him letting him follow his dreams of sharing his thoughts we of course had to ask him what disc he would

First design just to make everyone even more impatient I definitely want to go with something that everyone can throw where which is kind of like more like that really overstable approach disc which is like an A2 what I’m throwing right now is a really good disc so something like that obviously a putting

Putter is I feel like one of my strong suits so maybe maybe it’s a really solid putting putter maybe just for myself would be just like a crazy overstable driver that still has a lot of Glide um it’s kind of hard to find those but you

Can find if you find the right ones it does seem like both parties have ended the relationship in a respectful manner which is good because remember it started with a lawsuit against a minor I think this move by praji will be looked back on in dis golf history as a bigger

Mistake than discmania Letting Go Simon and I think praji is entering a Dark Age if Isaac Robinson doesn’t save their ass if they don’t pour everything into him and his brother then we won’t be mentioning them much longer unless it’s on some beat drop by KJ Parker wel

Announc is now resigning with progi another player with a tour win last season finally I can buy a Parker disc I’ve been wanting to support for so long damn I don’t know how this got negative so I got to change the Vibes comment below where you think Gan andur will end

Up for the 2024 season and add some reasonings behind it Inova made their classic New Year’s move announcing all their player signings nothing too new besides Bradley Williams and Jessica whis getting the bumps up to the Star Team oh and Emerson Keith was added to the champion team Twitter will have you

Thinking this was a leak by Inova but part thinks they just don’t do big announcements for that team not sure if last season was Emerson’s best but he did get a win so I was surprised to see him here I can’t remember where I saw

This so take this with a grain of salt but I thought bur’s contract ended on the 10th so for those Inova Fanboy still hoping there is still a shot but yeah he’s probably just going to dis Mania I know Emerson got that win at OTB but

When looking back at his past season it doesn’t pop like others no one will be able to take that away from him but I still think there are plenty of other free agents of valued above him such as Alden Harris or even Chris Clemens I’m glad to see him sponsored though and

Hopefully he can prove himself to do better than the champion team I am curious in how manufacturers value players for example Inova has coling seon and barsby on the team above Emerson but they are nowhere near him in the standings I understand I’m talking about us and world champions but why not

Support the players on tour each week more rather than the ones with half a schedule the Inova strategy seems to be going all in on Calvin and keeping the great around to keep that choice of Champions line hold true because heberg ain’t cutting it another surprise was Macy valadas not resigning with Dynamic

Discs she is pregnant so that will affect her play in the 2024 season I wonder if this is just a break from the tour for a while I don’t know the situation but if they didn’t sign her because she was pregnant kind of up I get it but still Chandler Kramer

Has expressed that he has a new sponsor that he will release sometime soon huligan discs posted on their Instagram story a picture of Kramer so maybe we’ll see see a push from hooligan this season after they departed from lonar earlier in the off season why not pair your

Brand with a character in the sport I think it’s a great move that should catch you up on all the latest disc golf offseason moves from the weekend this is just the start of some big big moves being made so if you don’t want to miss
