    In this episode of the Disc Golf Answer Man, I’m joined by Eric McCabe and Zach Melton as we celebrate a pretty wild milestone, 10 years of Zach with Dynamic Discs. We kick things off joking about getting older, how fast time flies, and how strange it feels to realize a full decade has passed. Zach reflects on his journey, including the decision to leave Prodigy and what it was really like stepping into a new chapter with DD.We get into college disc golf and how it’s grown, talking about the balance between competition, fun, and not taking yourself too seriously. Eric dives into some product talk, including Polar Party stamps and why the Trespass is still one of the most overlooked distance drivers out there. I also share where I’m at personally with trying to add distance and what I’m working on.From there, the conversation shifts to the bigger picture of pro disc golf. Zach talks about patience, growth, and how the sport is still figuring itself out. We also touch on the Disc Golf Pro Tour and Powerball partnership and talk through both the upside and the concerns around gambling sponsorships. We wrap things up with a lightning round where Zach shares some favorite discs and standout moments, and honestly it just feels like a hang with friends who love disc golf and care about where it’s headed.Send in your questions to DiscGolfAnswerMan.com00:00 Celebrating a Decade with Dynamic Discs02:43 The Evolution of College Disc Golf05:27 Product Highlights: New Discs and Stamps07:49 Insights on Throwing Techniques10:03 The Growth of Professional Disc Golf13:58 Zach Melton's Journey with Dynamic Discs17:26 The Current Landscape of Disc Golf Sponsorships18:53 Introducing Anthony Anselmo: The Highest Rated Lefty22:17 Advice for Aspiring Disc Golfers27:48 Introduction to New Discs30:26 Exciting New Releases and Features32:49 Memorable Moments in Disc Golf39:44 Sponsorship Insights for Young Players50:27 The Impact of External Sponsorships on Disc Golf
