1. Daily Summary (5–10 Bullets)
- Discraft launches "Second Shot" budget collection — drops Friday July 3 at 9 AM EST on the Discraft Factory Store. New program: discs that didn't meet initial quality standards are being sold at a discount "to try new molds, test plastic blends, or add extra throwers." A meaningful new entry point for budget-conscious bag-builders. [^1]
- 2026 DGA Tour Series Wave 2 launches at Infinite Discs and other retailers. Seven signature discs: Andrew Miranda Hypercane, Catrina Allen Sail, Andrew Marwede Hurricane, Eliezra Midtlyng Rift, Sullivan Tipton Blast, Jake Monn Tsunami, Cole Redalen Aftershock. Mix of fan-favorite molds and fresh Tour Series plastic. [^2]
- Innova teases "the otherworldly" — July 6 2026 Team Champion Tour Series unveil. A date-stamped Instagram post signals the next drop in Innova's 2026 Team Champion lineup. Will likely include a Halo Star or similar premium plastic variant. [^3]
- Innova low-profile putter — PDGA name submitted; pre-liminary flight numbers 3/3/0/1, first run DX + Star. Direct from an Innova Instagram update: a name has been filed with the PDGA, and the first two plastics are locked. The pre-lim flight suggests a straight, glide-y putt-and-approach shape. [^4]
- Innova 2026 Gregg Barsby Tour Series Proto Glow Champion Eagle — live. Flat, stiff, grippy, STABLE. Flight 7/4/-1/3. Innova Pro Shop and multiple retailers (Marshall Street, Armory) have stock. [^5]
- Innova Emily Weatherman 2026 Team Series Proto Glow Halo Fox — live at OTB Discs. A brand-new midrange from Innova: "fast and glidey… gets a little bit of turn." Likely a 5-speed class mid with a workable flight. [^6]
- Discraft "Z Misprint 10-Pack" — $54.99 July Deal of the Month, Factory Store only. Hot, hot savings on Discraft's most popular putter mold. [^7]
- Doomsday Discs "Dread" beadless putter — restocked / available. More stable than the Bleak. Sells at Infinite Discs; ongoing availability rather than a hard launch. [^8]
- Axiom Bokeh & Streamline Boost remain in fresh retail stock (carried over from 6/26 drop). Bokeh = 7/6/0/1, Boost = 9/5/-1/2. Simon Line Bokeh SE, stock Bokeh, Eagle McMahon Mythic Boost, and Electron/Soft Electron Tempo all currently available. [^9]
- Swedish Open follow-up: Eveliina Salonen posts 1006-rated round in playoff loss; Silva Saarinen defends. Salonen completed her Career Grand Slam in Tallinn and is showing no signs of slowing. [^10]

4. Pro Bag Changes & Sponsorship Notes

Career Grand Slam already on the books from European Open. [^10]
- Silva Saarinen (MVP/Axiom) — Successfully defended her Swedish Open title after an "unforgettable playoff." Three-peat at Ymergården (2023/2024/2026). [^10]
- Gregg Barsby (Innova) — 2026 Tour Series Proto Glow Champion Eagle now shipping; promoted as the Eagle people have been asking for (forehand/backhand, woods/open). [^5]
- Emily Weatherman (Innova) — First signature midrange with Innova — Proto Glow Halo Fox.
- Cole Redalen (DGA) — 2026 "breakout story" per DGPT social; first DGPT victory at the Kansas City Wide Open. New Tour Series Aftershock in DGA Wave 2. [^12]
- Jake Monn (DGA) — Tsunami Tour Series Swirl in Wave 2 (carryover from 7/1 brief but reaffirmed in the live drop).
- Ken Climo (Climo Disc Golf) — Carryover: DGPT reported a Discraft signing is in motion, but no official Discraft press release in this window. Climo's own-brand Coast Prototype line is moving to wholesale ordering — Climo Disc Golf is a separate brand, not a Discraft sub-line. Flag: keep these two facts distinct on the catalog.

6. Rumors, Leaks, or Prototype Sightings
