Customer Reviews
Ultiworld DG: mostly great, sometimes infuriatingly annoying.
If you’re into disc golf then you really should give these guys a listen.
Positives: solid journalism with all the latest news and good interviews with the main players, manufacturers and other profiles in the DG industry.
Negatives: there has been one or two episodes along the way that I’ve found infuriating in their bias, especially and specifically the handling of Josh Anthon’s comeback.
All in all though you’ll be hard pressed to find a better news outlet in the disc golf world and I have to admit that Charlie and Steve have raised their game noticeably throughout.
