Väinö Mäkelä Joins Innova’s Team Champion
Team Innova keeps getting stronger—in Europe! Väinö Mäkelä, one of the best-known and most-beloved disc golfers in Europe, will be proudly wearing Innova wings from here on out.
When Väinö started playing disc golf back in 2010, his first discs were an Innova Starter Set: A DX Aviar, DX Shark, and DX Leopard. Since then, his arm speed has increased just a bit, so he’ll be bagging the KC Aviar, Roc3, and a TeeBird instead. Whichever molds, we are happy to have Väinö with Innova discs back in his hands. We know he’ll do them justice.
When I started disc golf, I started with Innova discs. My first owned discs were Innova. My first hole in one was with Innova. This is special.
