Renowned disc golfer Väinö Mäkelä has joined the already formidable Team Champion at Innova, further strengthening the brand’s presence in Europe. Väinö, a beloved figure in the European disc golf community, will now proudly sport the iconic Innova wings. His journey with disc golf began in 2010, when he first picked up an Innova Starter Set consisting of a DX Aviar, DX Shark, and DX Leopard. As his arm speed has increased over the years, he has upgraded to the KC Aviar, Roc3, and TeeBird molds. Regardless of the discs he chooses, we are thrilled to have Väinö back in the Innova family and have no doubt that he will do them justice.
For Väinö, this partnership holds a special significance as he started his disc golf journey with Innova discs, and even achieved his first hole-in-one with one. Hailing from Turku, Finland, Väinö is a dominant force in European disc golf, having won the 2021 Finnish Championship and four Finnish Pro Tour Championships. He has also made a name for himself in the United States, participating in DGPT events for the past five years and securing multiple top 10 finishes, including a podium placement at the 2022 DDO. Beyond his impressive skills on the course, Väinö is known for his humor, eloquence, and engaging personality. With a strong following of over 50,000 on Instagram and 60,000 on YouTube, he is a captivating storyteller who will showcase the incredible capabilities of Innova discs to his audience. We are confident that Väinö will be warmly welcomed by the dedicated fan base of Team Innova.
