Yeah, figured it was more likely a putter or lid given the distance, so he did that throw with something like a Rattler! :gross:http://www.pdga.com/documents/pdga-approved-discs

Also, it looks like only putters for the most part are above 75.

Smooth is the key from the man himself, not violence:
Reeling in a 300' tape is a workout itself! I'd go another route, either a measuring wheel or a laser rangefinder (best choice).
World Class Result = World Class Effort
Bumps and bruises are part of the game. Learn from my mistakes.
If someone wants to just tip long-neckers back and throw 200 foot drives, it's all good... I'll be there one day, my days are surely numbered.
Until then as an old Chinese man said, " Train long. Body strong, and you happy. Illness will not touch you."

wtf...did I see a 360 flick in that video?
I think it was more properly a 360 then a flick. Looked more like a high degree of style points than any kind of momentum.
anyone know how much a range finder is that won't break fast? I figured that was a thing and would be easier to mess with then measuring tape.

There's a difference between tipping long necks and wanting to develop 500' shots without risking injury. I'm on the path to 500'... yesterday I felt the power to get there, just couldn't the angles right before I ran outta time.
I'm not knocking you bro, you may find a way to 800' on flat ground like Alex Geisinger with a completely different throw. I'm just trying to get there without missing any days due to injury! And I really want my 500' to be balanced, controlled and accurate so that I can throw 18 down on a course with lots of 500' holes.
Honestly, the way to get 450-500 foot distance comes down to 2 factors that most people only have one but not the other, and sometimes neither at all. Full extension of the throwing arm on the reach back, or on the pull thru. Paul tends to get full extension once he starts pulling through. 2nd, stepping about a foot to the left with your plant foot so when you pull through you use more of your upper and lower back muscles. Simon really steps out to the left quite dramatically on his plant foot. It took me time to get the timing and muscle memory down, but combining both of those took me from 300-400 relatively quickly, and now that I've been using it for almost a year, I can hit 425 pretty easily, and occasionally, if the wind is on my side I can hit 500.
That plant to the left is part of cocking the hips and getting the hip rotation involved.
See the hip rotation is correct in the power, it is simply the term violent that I disagree with and the acceptance of injury as part of the road to success.
Explosive or powerful or strong or quick, lots of ways to express the hip rotation or pop and as the OP is using the term violent it is probably no different than me saying powerful or explosive, but for me and I think many throwing coaches it is just not a term that would be used.
The hip rotation into a brace is fundamental to throwing, huge in Olympic throws, a major factor in Shot-put Discus and javelin. He's not wrong in the importance.
On the injury side, its not MMA we are doing. Injuries do happen in all sports, but I've never met a coach, especially in a non-contact sport, that would agree it is just part of the process. Injury prevention is part of the road to success, overcoming injuries that happen is a road to success, but being cavalier that you get injured because you are simply putting out large effort is not right.
