I like your videos. 👍 We especially have to put today's money within the context of inflation. Government decisions after 2020 spiked inflation, which is permanently baked in now. Adjusting for that, the financial gains in disc golf (or in any other market that seemingly gained) since 2021 just hasn't done as well as the raw numbers make it look. With the spiked inflation, people net less disposable income and therefore spend less on non-necessities, such as recreational frisbees and accessories. If certain government decisions favorable to free markets are made again, disc golf and a slew of other industries stand a legitimate chance of growing healthily for the long term.

@@adielcerriteno1990 Thanks for your support. I'm planning on making a video on what it is like being a disc golf store owner. To answer your question briefly, it depends on how popular the sport is in your area. If you are by a course(s) that is popular/played frequently, you definitely have a chance to do well. If not, making money will be tough. Luckily, I live by Delaveaga Disc Golf Course (top 50 course in the world). So people from the area and a good amount of people from around the world come to play there. If I didn't have the support of all those people, I probably wouldn't break even. I don't know much about the golf market sadly, but I'm sure that would help if you did both. Not sure if that helped.

Long discussion here. Ive been intrigued by the Savant earlier on when I got heavier into disc golf but just happened to pick the Valkyrie. Its now in the running as a new purchase since the Valk is now a little too flippy for my forehand. I love the Big Z Vulture I picked up and was able to throw for 2 rounds before having to shut down for the year. Nice and reliable so far for my forehand compared to my seasoned ESP. I also just picked up a Lucid Justice since it was in the used bin and cheap and I wanted a beef mid. So far its done what I've needed. I also have a used Halo Beast that has been useful for my forehand and has since migrated from fulltime bag to the car reserve. Personally I dont like the Z plastic as its a bit too hard and slippy. I do like the Big Z a bit better and ESP best for Discraft.
