I agre with the 1st year player part, but I did see Skot rip one that had to have been about 300' at least. We were walking back from 18 and he let it rip and that thing just sailed. I don't think it's an easy disc to throw that far, or necessarily on a line useful in a round, but it can sail for sure if you get some height under it.

I could honestly care less what you believe. So what I've only been playing a year, if you don't think somebody can learn to throw a disc far in a year then you seriously underestimate the power of the mind and body.

So, as a TD for an October 29 AR in Lake Charles, LA, with possible 10-12 mile per hour winds from the Gulf, I am thinking 120-150' tee-to-baskets? Suggestions please. Thanks.

I want a vid of this. Or I call BS sorry but that disc is not going 300' very often unless its downhill. There were a few pros at our ace race and even when they ripped it right it was only going 275'

I played this weekend in Truckee and I thought the new disc was crap. Throwing it with a normal RHBH was one of the most unpredictable flight paths I have seen. I was throwing at 6000' elevation which would make the disc more stable but still could get nothing consistent. I found myself throwing with as much hyzer as possible just to keep it relatively consistent. I have two more races to go and they are all near sea level. I'm hoping for better results, we will see. The esp plastic is far better than the pro plastic. By the end of the two rounds people that had been throwing the pro found their discs in bad shape. I took the pro out the second round and only threw the esp. The little bag you get was truly a piece of Chinese made poo. The stitching was halfway undone on the strap pad by the end of the round. I still had fun and met a lot of good folks but I hate the new disc. They should call the disc the Hitler because almost everyone will hate how it throws.

Ok I will bet a disc, but the vid has to be running the whole time. I mean from throw, the whole walk to the disc the whole thing must be on camera or no deal. You must have someone eles running the cammera and it must be at a football feild or some place that the distance is totally measurable.
NO ROLLERS.... this thing is actually good for rollers

If you can do what you say you can why wouldn't this disc make your bag? I really want to see this.

What kind of disc is up for grabs here?

New013 its got nothing to do with how long you have been playing and I am not trying to be a D*** ether I just want to see this. If you can get it past 300' you deserve some credit for sure.
