Casey White is staying with the Shield, and we’re celebrating with a signature-stamped Horizon S-line FD2
We're happy to share that Casey White has signed a two-year extension with Team Discmania. A lot of you first got to know Casey through YouTube. He is now a regular on lead cards, the player behind the Sky Walker series and the Spin Doctor, and a player who cashed at every event he played in 2026. It has been a lot of fun to watch, and we're glad the story keeps going.
Results are only part of why we're glad Casey is staying. Ask one of his teammates about him and you hear about the person first. Niklas Anttila put it like this:
"Casey is always a pleasure to be around, on and off the course. He gets along with everyone, and he's very passionate about disc golf and about his discs. That's something I really like about him."
To mark the extension, we are releasing a small run of Horizon S-line FD2s from the Sky Walker 3 run, stamped with a new design built around Casey's signature. The FD2 mold is Casey's personal favorite and technically the one that's been used on all Sky Walker releases. More on that below.
First, we sent Casey a few questions to look back on the journey so far, look ahead to 2027, and open up his bag. He answered in his own words, and we've kept as many of them as we could.
Where it started
Ask Casey for his highlights and he goes straight back to the beginning. During the pandemic, Simon Lizotte's YouTube vlogs drew a big audience, and Casey turned up in them and helped with the filming. That made him a familiar face to a lot of disc golf fans and led to his signing with Team Discmania. His first full season on tour came in 2021.
"Entering the 2021 season I was just Simon's buddy who was lucky enough to be added to the team. Thanks to him and his YouTube channel, he gave me the platform to showcase my skills to the world of disc golf, and gave me the confidence to take the leap of faith to tour full time."
It was a real leap. By the time Texas States came around at the end of March, Casey had never been on a lead card, never finished in the top 10 and never cashed at a National Tour event. He did all three that weekend, then followed it up with two more top 10s. Two events after that came Jonesboro, where he finished T-5th, a career best. In the final round, he hit a Tilt shot that's still worth watching.
That was the moment it clicked.
"From that point on I truly felt like I belonged on tour and was representing the shield as well as I possibly could, especially in Simon's absence due to his elbow injury."
The Sky Walker
The second highlight has his name on it. For his first couple of years on the team, Casey felt a gap in his bag between the FD and the PD. Then the FD1 came along.
"When the FD1 came out it felt like I had unlocked a new level to my game. As the year progressed and I finally made the decision to put my name on the FD1, I had no idea how impactful the Sky Walker would be. My fans and I agree that this mold is the best 7 speed of the modern era and I can proudly say that it is my favorite disc in the lineup, I'm just lucky enough to have my name on it."
A note on the name. Sky Walker is the name of Casey's Signature Series on this mold, with a number added for each new release. The first Sky Walker (Horizon S-line) and the Sky Walker 2 (Glow C-line) were released as FD1s, and the Sky Walker 3 (Horizon S-line) as an FD2. The disc itself did not change. While Casey's signature releases were rolling out, the mold that first carried the FD1 name moved to the FD2 name, and the mold previously known as the Instinct became the FD1. All releases with the Sky Walker title use the same mold.
2026: a solid 8 out of 10
Five seasons on, lead cards are no longer a first for Casey. Asked to grade his 2026 season, he settled on a solid 8 out of 10. The numbers behind it:
- Multiple lead cards
- A new career-high rating
- 13th in the DGPT standings, his highest finish yet
- T-5th at KCWO, tying his career best
- His first top 10 at a major
- A 100% cash rate
That's a season to be proud of, and Casey is the first to say there's more in it.
"The reason my season sits at an 8/10 and not any higher is simply because I felt like I wasted a couple opportunities to get more top 10s, and I still have yet to be in contention for the win in a final round. That is the next level that I am seeking to pursue in the future."
The good news is that he already knows where to look: inside circle 2.
"I need to be more aggressive inside circle 2. I tend to take a lot of pars because I am not running birdies as confidently as I should, and that is the first step towards me taking a couple strokes off my score each round."
That's exactly the kind of next step we want to be around for, and with two more years together, we will be.
In the bag
When the birdies come, they come with the help of a bag put together with intention and deep understanding of what each disc does. At the heart of it are the Sky Walkers, and Casey carries five. Not surprisingly, that was also Casey's answer when we inquired about the disc he relies on the most.
"Easy answer is my Signature Series Sky Walkers. They are my favorite disc in the Discmania lineup, and once again, I'm just lucky enough to have my name on that disc! I currently bag five of them, and I use them as much as possible."
Around them, the staples are the DD1, Cloud Breaker, FD3 and Tactic/P4.
The newest addition carries his name too: the Spin Doctor, his Signature Series Swirl Q-line Premier DD1, released in August.
"The Spin Doctor is perfect for understable long distance hyzer flips."
The P-line MD3x* and the Exo Hard MD5 joined midway through 2025 and haven't left the bag since.
*(Also known as the Method - This is another mold that is being transitioned from the Evolution line to the Originals line)
A name on the disc
Few players on the team put as much into their signature discs as Casey. Ask him what having them means, and the answer goes back a long way.
"It is purely a dream come true. I'll always remember when I was a kid saving up money to buy discs when they hit the shelves in my local store, and thinking how cool it would be to have my name on discs like Climo or McBeth. I get so excited when people tell me how much they love the Sky Walker or the Spin Doctor, and it's an amazing accomplishment knowing that I helped someone find their new favorite disc. To share that feeling with disc golfers from around the world is a special experience."
Where to start
So what would he hand to someone just getting to know Discmania? Beginner, amateur or advanced, Casey's answer is always the same.
"My answer to this question is always the Origin! You just simply can't go wrong with the best hyzer flip midrange in our lineup! I use mine for backhands, sidearms, and even rollers!"
