It was recently announced that Nikko Locastro would be joining Innova this year.
The news seems to be piling up early in 2012.
We’ve gathered some of this news over the past few weeks, but with not launching until this week, we had to keep it as a bunch of briefs. Though much of this is all out there, we still wanted to share.
Locastro now with Innova
One of the top professional players in the world, Nikko Locastro, has left Gateway and joined the Innova Star team for this season.
Locastro is the 12th member of the Innova Star team. He joins Avery Jenkins, Dave Feldberg, Des Reading, Josh Anthon, Paul McBeth, Paul Ulibarri, Ricky Wysocki, Sarah Stanhope, Steve Brinster, Val Jenkins and Will Schusterick on the team.
On his personal website, Locastro said the decision wasn’t anything against any other company and that he was now focused on this year and beyond.
“After trying out new products in the off season and over looking my options I decided to go with Team Innova for 2012. … Having a mixed bag had its ups and down but at the end of the day it was something that happened for a reason.”

Locastro won last year’s National Tour championship, edging Nate Doss (Discraft) by one point.
