Among the many decisions a professional disc golfer makes at the start of any partnership, none was more defining than his choice of putter—the Focus. This choice wasn't just about selecting a tool of the trade; it was about setting a standard for his career.
At the beginning, AB worked closely with us to develop a special blend for the Focus that matched his exacting standards for grip and flight. This unique blend not only became his signature but also marked the beginning of a journey characterized by precision, growth, and a deepening relationship with his gear.
As Anthony Barela has solidified himself as a contender in the world of disc golf for years to come, his trajectory took a remarkable turn that encapsulated the essence of his hard work and dedication. The breakthrough came at the Chess.com Invitational, where Barela clinched his first DGPT Elite Series victory. It was a moment of validation and victory, both personally and professionally. "It's just unbelievable, I've been waiting my whole life for this. All of the losses are worth it now." said Anthony Barela.
Anthony Barela's disc golf journey is a testament to perseverance, talent, and an unwavering spirit. From a young age, Anthony's potential was evident, marked by impressive junior achievements that set him on the path to greatness. However, his journey was not without its challenges. Critics often pointed to his struggles in the final stretch of tournaments, questioning whether he could ever break through to the elite level.
However, AB found his form at the beginning of the 2024 season, making a statement that his win at Olympus was no fluke. He went on to with 3/5 first DGPT Elite series events, a stat only shared amongst disc golf's greatest.
His second win came at the Play It Again Sports Jonesboro Open after an intense final round battle with fellow Team Discraft athletes Ezra Aderhold and Benjamin Callaway. Claiming victory with only 1 stroke separation, AB silenced the critics with a smile on his face and a look of fierce determination, proving that he belongs among the best in the sport. His victories are not just personal triumphs; they are milestones that inspire those in the disc golf community.
While the courses change, AB maintained consistency and poise going into the Texas State Disc Golf Championships.

With precision throws and unwavering focus, he navigated the course, outplaying a field of top competitors. The Texas State Disc Golf Championships win is a shining example of what can be accomplished with hard work, determination, and a passion for the game all come together.
