Hey this is a very good and comprehensive overview of the current players in the disc market worldwide. Thanks.
What about non-disc players in the market such as apparel and equipment makers? Any info or insight or articles on that?
Thanks again for the great article.
That was an interesting article article. Well researched and easy to read. I recently came across an old April fools article by INNOVA entitled “INNOVA LOC8™ GPS SYSTEM” then I read about the now defunct TOBU DISCS tracking technology. I was wondering if the idea of GPS tracking is still a joke or if any progress has been made in terms of making it more affordable to incorporate GPS or RFID or some other tracking system into a disc. Perhaps you could write an article about that subject.
That is a great idea.
Westside Discs also invested a great deal in disc tracking technology. Their investment was also meant to be a trainer to give information like revolutions per minute, disc speed, spin speed etc.
My personal opinion is that adding electronics to discs just decreases flight performance.
The Tobu discs had a huge module at the bottom of the disc that simply reduced from the aerodynamics of the disc. The decreased performance as well as the time needed to take to get the app set up, make sure the device is on etc, simply took away from the simplicity of just throwing disc golf discs.
I do like your idea and may consider writing on it at a future point.
