How far can you throw your putt and approach discs?

If any of you have a camera, please post a video. I'm sure many would like to see.
I'll try to get a video today. If not today then sometime this weekend.
Got rained on today so I didn't go for max D, but I did get some nice putter drives on film. All of these are done with either an Evo Wizard (Blue) or SS wizard (Orange, Yellow, White). The very last shot (Near Ace) is a Teebird throw. I know it's not exactly what you wanted but it should give you a good idea of what I can do with Wizards. Anhyzers, hyzers and straight shots. Check out the description to see a list of which holes are what.
I forgot to chop off the rest of the song that's why it does that. Didn't feel like messing with the video editor some more, my pc is an ancient laptop so it takes forever to do anything.

Formwise, a 350' putter shot looks just like a drive (because it is one). The player might be aiming higher than on a drive, though. Flightwise they go a lot higher and straight to a slight 'S'. At least the ones I've seen look like that.
If you're just curious about form, take any video of a 420'+ Teebird shot and you'll know what a 350' putter shot looks like.

Great video! I know a few guys who throw their putters about that far and I must admit I am jealous. I guess I know what I will be practicing tonight with the Bangers.

No real putter drives besides the 2nd hole of the 1st vid.

How so?
That course in the first video looks sick. Where is that? Wish I could have seen the flight of the disc better, but I guess the cameraman was going more for the form shots than disc flight shots.
Timber Ridge in Kalamazoo, MI
It might have been a temp type course because it was on a ski hill but it was the best one I have played when it came to design and even better than Snowbowl in AZ.

Ahhh I love me some Arboretum Spiker. Its a toss up between that and Roscoe Ewing of the courses I have been to for a favorite but both for very different reasons. Need to get out to Canton again here soon.

KC Pro Aviars usually around 240' to 260'
I just played Roscoe Ewing for the first time a few weeks ago and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Looking forward to playing it again soon.
Arboretum is where I was introduced to the game. It's remained a favorite. There's some holes I'd enjoy having a few more trees to shoot through, but it offers a good variety of shots and the scenery is great.
Have you played Dover? I think that's my favorite. It's got some great long holes for opening up on playing from whites and blues, and the red tees have a lot of fun putter shots. Nearly 3'd hole 1 from the white today

Ive never really tried to throw them far just in the basket from up to 150 right now. I can throw a driver up 400 if i rip it more like 330-350.
It really is about shaping lines to get close enough to make putts

I can chuck this thing nearly a football field, but would I ever do that on a course? Nope. I personally have much more control with my "fairway drivers" at those ranges (either Elite XL or Roadrunner).
