Kona Panis Dynamic Discs Sponsorship Behind the Scenes

I'm Kona Panis and my Dynamic Discs adventure is on fire! On January 1, 2022 I announced my DD sponsorship and it was-literally-a whirlwind adventure leading up to the big day.
I visited Emporia, KS three times to meet new teammates, testing discs and gear, and film my announcement video. In this video, you'll see photos and videos I shot on these trips to give you a sense of the vibe behind the scenes. I hope you enjoy!
Most disc golf contracts are private but it was important to me to share some of the terms so aspiring pros and the public know disc golf is becoming a sustainable profession. My contract guarantees me $500,000 over four years plus incentives and bonuses. Thanks to Eric "EMac" McCabe, Jeremy Rusco, and the DD crew for welcoming me to this new chapter!

Pretty sure I speak for all of humanity when I say I’m pumped to see where Kona goes with the freedom and stability of this DD deal. Also, I think most pros who have made changes have played better for it.

[@stitch438]

LOL I bet she's the biggest disappointment of all the signings for the 2022 season. Take me up on that?

[@joebrannon8843]

They couldn’t have selected a better representative for their brand!

That ouroboros stamp is AWESOME! Can't wait! Keep killing it!

[@xrawcarnagex]

Get acclimated to the EMAC truth! Disc is fantastic. Huge glide for a mid range and goes on any line you place it on! Cant get enough of this disc. Congrats on your move and wish you luck on your future endeavors.

This is a really nicely produced casual video. Well done.

[@blainewilliams3164]

Nice! Nacho made it! :)

[@ryry562000]

Congratulations Kona. I can't wait to see where u go from here and what u come up with for stamps cause that Kona stamp with the snakes is awesome. Oh if u like that Escape try the Destiny, to me it's the same just faster. Good luck in 2022 and beyond

[@timlorakatryan]

This and the Ricky signing are amazing and I am super stoked for the team and players. That said the helicopter thing is cheesy as hell.

[@glennriser4834]

Great video and I’m looking forward to your signature discs and custom stamps and seeing you in the upcoming season!

[@davidstock7169]

It’s gonna be tough competition this year in the FPO, I’m excited to see how you do!

[@dribbio]

Great watch! Love seeing you on DD, I bag almost entirely DD, with a few lat64 and Westside. One questions though, y'all got anymore of them casual rounds/trying discs videos? Love seeing that!

[@KonaDiscGolf]

Will definitely be doing a video or two where we walk through the discs I’m digging and bagging before the season starts!!

[@dribbio]

@@KonaDiscGolf HYPED! Once again, great seeing you on DD and best of luck!

[@dougchristopher2072]

Hi Kona 😊 new fan and sub here

[@markthomas9411]

Awesome!

[@BIZARBIES]

I know that Dave Dunipace was a mentor for you over at Innova, was he happy you are striking out in a new chapter of your career?

[@fernwogteveril6935]

They have beer!! Is DD hiring? lmao All jokes aside it's cool to have an employer that offers perks and allows some time for fun.

[@Funnygato_]

I wanna get hunted by those discs, hahaha

[@mojoeks]

Wichita 🙂

[@brooksy3069]

shes a solid thrower, still cant putt, tattar being paid the same as her is a slap in the face, freaking 949, idk why dd doesnt see that and equate it to 70k a year which is what she is worth, ofcourse with incentives but she isnt close to tattar

[@derekbroekhoven5498]

Get over yourself. Disc golf contracts are not just about level of play - Disc golf companies are business, and they want to make money. Kona is a person who can sell a ton of discs/bags/swag, between her personality, social media presence, and her overall brand. Not to mention Kona is significantly younger than Kristin (not to bash on Kristin at all, I'm a huge Kristin fan, but you brought her into this unnecessarily) and is only getting better, it's called investing

[@brooksy3069]

​@@derekbroekhoven5498nobody is going to be a huge kona fan as she plays 949 golf when there are 980 women golfers out there, who would be a huge kona fan,when her putt is about as bad as it gets in fpo, i dont see any value in her personality, game, and just because she has some followers, christine jennings has followers and nobody buys whatever she would be selling. the point is kona is worth a salary of 60k plus incentives. if she sells a lot of discs, give her a portion of those sales rather than guarantee all this money on a 949 "pro". i shoot a 949 rated round on my worst days
