After a week of anticipation, the newest members of the Dynamic Discs team have been unveiled and Dynamic ownership could not be more excited for what the future has in store.
Dynamic announced Monday that it had signed last year’s Waco Annual Charity Event and Disc Golf Pro Tour All-Star event winner Kona Panis who comes to Dynamic after time with Innova. Panis’ announcement was followed by Dynamic’s announcement that it had signed former two-time world champion and top-rated men’s competitor Ricky Wysocki Tuesday.
Panis says she chose to sign with Dynamic in part because of the support they offer on the course and off.
Ultiworld Disc Golf reports that Panis has signed a four-year $500,000 deal while Wysocki has signed a four-year $4 million deal. Wysocki says he believes these signings and their value help to “validate” the sport of disc golf.
Dynamic Discs owner Jeremy Rusco says these signings will not only boost the profiles of Dynamic, Wysocki and Panis, but it will also increase the already impressive reputation of Emporia within the disc golf community.
Panis and Wysocki’s signings were just the latest of several for Dynamic over the past month. Those signings include:
*Mason Ford, who comes to Dynamic Discs after playing for Innova and winning the 2021 Music City Open and an 11-th place finish in the Pro Disc Golf Association World Championships last year. Ford receives a two-year deal.
*Also receiving a two-year deal is Valerie Mandujano, who spent five years with Innova, including her first full year on the tour last year, before coming to Dynamic Discs.
*Earlier, Dynamic signed Gavin Rathbun and Matt Orum. Rathbun had been signed to Discmania and had three Top-10 finishes last year. Orum, most recently with Prodigy Discs, will go to Westside Discs — a company co-owned by Dynamic and Latitude 64 — and will join the tour full-time for the first time this upcoming season.
Tuesday’s press conference has been archived on the Dynamic Discs YouTube Channel.
