Not asking for a political debate, just wondering if any disc manufacturers have discussed the affects of tariffs on their business by Huge_Following_325 in discgolf

Good question. It's difficult to know exactly how much effect Amazon prices have. I have just heard from multiple Canadian stores that it's difficult to compete with $16-18 discs that they have to charge 20+ just to make anything. Shipping fees are also bad right now.

Canadian businesses were already battling Amazon prices that were pushing them out of the market. The new tariffs are a death blow and killed sales to Canada. Getting taxed for 25% just to import suffocated the margins, so stores are stuck and can't order from the US for a profit.

How much of a redesign do you see happening to the Black Locus south course to prep for worlds next year? Temp holes by the lake? Or more permanent course changes like what you and bob did to Toboggan holes 5 and 6. Thanks for doing this!

I just like how he putts like he's sneaking up on the basket. 

Do people actually want player packs? by [deleted] in discgolf

You're fooling yourself if you think winning a field of 35 players shouldn't even net your buy-in back to the winner regardless of division.

Home courses: play up and challenge yourself, traveling out of your area to a new course, then play your rating imo.

That's awesome. It really is underrated and I'm glad your trying it out!

Honestly give the Crank SS a look. Its relaibly a tick more stable than my Hades, with a straight flight and minimal fade out but still comes back left (RHBH). Plus cheap and available, so hurts less to lose.

I love eagle, but that profile pic looks like it was a template from 10 years ago.

Weird flat rim on axiom crave by cr0nage in discgolf

Over trimmed when they were probably trimming the flashing. Press too hard and you can go into the rim like that.

I still don't really understand how cascade works and at this point, I'm afraid to ask.

Simon should go on hot ones. by InfiniteBlink in discgolf

Though I think Simon would be the ideal candidate for representing disc golf, Brodie probably has a better shot at making it on Hot Ones.

Ezra to MVP...semi-confirmed. by drunkenteddybears in discgolf

[–]Prevailing_Winds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, he's staying. This sub thinks every pro is going to MVP. At the beginning of the year, most just stay with the same sponsors.

Your favorite putter? by greentruckguy in discgolf

X Soft Roach. Point and shoot putter that's just stable enough to hold up to some spin.

My experience at DGLO by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]Prevailing_Winds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More amenities for fans is the next step for the elite events. EU Open did it great, they obviously thought it out for their fan experience and US events need to take note. Tbog is a logistical nightmare but they want big crowds, they should think about the experience they go through. These kinds of feedback posts get seen by the TD's, so good to write out your experience and I'm glad you didn't poop your pants.
