    High Desert Distance Challenge 2016

    Again, the more they have been talking about it, the more they are deciding how they actually feel. Talking to David, Alex and Simon over the past two days, they are all very excited at the potential for indoor distance competitions. Being outside is exciting for sure but to set the world...

    1000 foot barrier

    Garrett threw mostly golf shots and it's better than the 360 for him since doing a 360 doesn't add any power to his throw because of the way he pulls under his left arm (I throw the same way). One of his best shots was slow and controlled and allowed him to put all of his torque and snap on the...

    High Desert Distance Challenge 2016

    I spent a few hours last night reading through every single comment. The last time we held the event was Oct 2014 and it was relatively quiet compared to this year partially because we had less people, we did less marketing/promotions and the results weren't as newsworthy. I disagree that the...

    High Desert Distance Challenge 2016

    None. The women all threw shorter on Monday with the 30+ mph winds than they did on Saturday with less than 30 mph winds. A few of the grandmasters had longer throws than on Saturday but none were record breaking throws.

    1000 foot barrier

    I threw 217 metres on Saturday, Alex had 270/271 metres on Monday and Garrett had 246 metres on Monday I believe. I threw my Blizz Bosses on Monday so they kept falling out of the sky. I should have switched to more understable discs but I didn't have any - I should have borrowed some!

    High Desert Distance Challenge 2016

    It's the only option we have :) Since we don't really know what effect the wind has on the disc and it all depends on the arm speed + the spin on the disc, any number we use for wind speed is totally arbitrary.

    1000 foot barrier

    I'm going to post them once I receive them from David Wiggins Sr but is there anyone in particular you'd like to know? I remember everyone's best throw I think...

    1000 foot barrier

    On The Disc Golf Guy vlog last night, Simon said that he's been recorded at throwing 101 and 102 mph recently. Wiggins is around the same (according to both Simon and David).

    Jason Cortella threw a XXX 483' with a tomahawk in 2014. He's a baseball player: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq5dNMn3oyk.

    High Desert Distance Challenge 2016

    Remember that the wind is just an estimate and only measures the speed on the ground. Because we're throwing it so high into the air, who knows what the wind is 100-200 feet in the air. So it's all an estimate which is why we're not changing the records and they will remain as the Outdoor and...

    High Desert Distance Challenge 2016

    I haven't read through all of the comments but I assume they're in line with what I've read on Facebook/Instgram/Reddit. In any case, I just wanted to let you know how we've decided to move forward (we meaning the WFDF). There will be two records - Indoor and Outdoor. We're not going to create...
