Ultiworld Disc Golf’s 2018 Roller of the Year voting is presented by Friction Gloves; all opinions are those of the author. Check out our review of Friction’s DG Gloves here.
For the first time in our shot of the year brackets, the top seeds all survived. Now rollers 1-4 have a new set of challengers and this voting does not get any easier. Make sure you vote for your favorite as we whittle it down to a final four.
#1 Ricky Wysocki vs. #8 Seppo Paju

#4 Catrina Allen vs. #12 Nolan Grider
We should have ranked Catrina Allen’s roller in Vegas higher because we can not stop watching it.

#3 Chris Dickerson vs. #6 Eagle McMahon
Like a lot of other of the top seeds, this late year roller from Chris Dickerson is just too good.
