David Wiggins Jr. distance demo the range of 500-700ft. Super slow motion. 

For real man

Weak.

Nice frow

I tHreW 408fEet yeSterday. No but i really did

Okay, my ass. That's serious distance!

Jokes on you, that's actually the disc making the techno music

Lol

90s techno is great if you aren’t completely tasteless

Reminds me of the volleyball scene in top gun

haha

Manabu Kajiyama would be rubbing his chin and saying watch this

@@QactisX Manabu can crush like 500+ feet I'm almost certain fosho.

wwhaaaaaaaa!

And there would be more photographers out, for sure.

The LVC does a long drive contest every year. Always tops 600+ in distance.

This aged poorly ​@@joconnell8145

It's all in the disc. An understable disc will flip over and cut against the wind. An overstable disc is supposed to go back and is very hard to flip over with a higher shot

I don’t golf but I wonder if it’s similar to the concept of an air bounce in ultimate? Like you kind of ride it out and up with the nose down?

archimedesjs You maybe right about that. I just meant that in my opinion driving done during serious competition rounds is what counts :) To me such huge crushes are more impressive. Ps. what do you think about Simon Lizotte's power?

Dude Simon Lizette, Drew Gibson, Eagle McMahon throw way further..just saying lol

@@4blakE2duB0nesS Not really. Watch the DDO Drives me crazy because Paul looks like he's throwing putters and chucks it 500 feet

@@thebeasters not really? The three guys he mentioned undeniably have more distance potential than paul

That’s what I was going to say.. those shots aren’t even accurate lol

shh,

0:48 look how his right foot decimates the earth below

slower, understable discs will help you with increasing your distance, typically people are using too high of speed discs when throwing for distance. speed 9-11 should be good enough for 350+ shots easily.

Shoot keep throwing your midrange and you can max it at 350, 7 speed can hit 350 no problem. Why do people use a star destroyer 12 speed disc when they can throw it 300 is beyond me. I can get an Axiom Clash (7/5/-1/3) 400 feet. All you need is the biomechanical technique down and you can do it with minimal effort, without hurting yourself.

Good advice. Diamond light and Jade by Latitude 64 are amazing in this category.

Joel Leonard very well said. I only throw 275 with mids and friends always say why don’t you throw distance drivers?! And they only throw distance drivers 275-300ft. I’m focused on long term gains

@@QactisX I came across your comment. A newbie to disc golf. I'm wondering - what biomechanics I can study and review. I've been all over youtube and so much content - they seem to contradict so often. I'm totally unsure what to do next.

What? The angle of release has nothing to do with wobble whatsoever.

I highly doubt that

Why does his forehand not wobblf then?

whatever happened with him, i saw him on a card with McBeth today and he looked really good. Just wondering why he left the tour for all this time

lol

He was pretty fire in dodgeball, I can tell ya that

Yeah, we grew up together attended all same schools and he was always the first pick in dodgeball and kickball

He’s been out for work the past 8 years but check out thediscgolfguy’s coverage. Looks like he just struggles on controlling drives. His putt is pretty decent

Drive for dough, putt for even more dough

Trolling? Watch the full video, they use a laser range finder when they are at the field to see how far his drives go. This is a distance demo, not a golf drive demo. Accuracy is nearly meaningless in distance competitions. You DO know that Wiggins Jr has the standing world record for distance at 836 feet, right?

Anthony Brand That is right, however I dont feel that world record is legit. Throw 800+ft without gale force tail winds and I'll be impressed.

Simply because you can't throw 500-700 feet doesn't mean he can't.

GuNCh Bandit There is hardly a world record out there that environmental factors didn't help. World Records are not entirely made up of skill. Some of it is luck as well. As the saying goes, "Timing is everything".

GuNCh Bandit he was throwing in a 15 mph tailwind when he set the record, not gale force by any means.

you sir, must be a snobby daddy's boy who isn't athletic enough to play real sports ;)

yeeeaaaa. I have a nice set of golf clubs and am pretty good too....but I also love playing disc golf....more so in fact than reg golf at this point...its a amazing game that takes a lot of skill and its great that almost anyone with 40$ or so can afford to get started and enjoy the game...not that I haven't spent over probably 2-300$ on discs since ive lost quite a few and had to go thru many to find the ones that work for me but its a sport and a proper one at that....I take it you cant play for shit tho.....so it doesn't surprise me that youre hating....

My friend commented from my phone. I actually enjoy disc golf and I play real golf. I like real golf a lot more but it's fun going out and making nice throws. I actually got my first ace the other day on at 148 foot hole at a small course here and it felt great. But the majority of people I see are stoner type gypsies playing disc golf. It is fun though

Go whine in your BMW like Elliot Rodger, money boy.

Hmmm let me see. I've got a million in investments AND a 2 handicap in ball golf. Disc golf is another sport to meet new people and get exercise. I'm guessing you can't get it up without a club....neanderthal.

Wat

@@thebeasters lol

Nah, it's OAT. The angle of the wrist and disc is not the same as your forearm. No, this is not a criticism for DW, but off-axis torque is something that can be mitigated by even the furthest throwers on the planet. But when you consider the fact that a person is trying to simply throw an object as far as they can, some "techniques" take a backseat. But most pros probably throw 80-90% power, and this is max distance. Getting a disc to travel this far takes multiple attempts, as the angles and releases are rarely perfect.

just turn the audio off loser. what do you want, celine dion playing.

Oh look a bite

probably couldn't out throw simon lizotte

Aaaaaand... World Record broken.

+Jeb Watson he just crushed lizotte with a 1100 ft throw.

+Jeb Watson to get

He outdrives Lizotte in tournaments? I think not. Flinging a few in an open field is not the same thing.

Same, but yet very frustrating! I need to find a way to get more spin on my disk without losing arm speed

@@Lexilou13 Keep the disc between your hand and body when in the power pocket. You keep see him doing it here in this video.

In 2012 he set the distance record at 836, he was 16. In 2016 he set the record at 1108. He was born in 1995. 🤘😎

@@pbgamble When you look at him today you can still see.. he's just a man among men. Huge hands, great ape index, incredibly athletic. I hope he sticks with the tour for a few years and hones stuff in. It'd be so awesome to see him on lead card. He has many years of competitive play left.

+jmgug92 The joke is the 50 mph tailwind.

+flyingfishsurf The joke is that 50 mph won't help unless you know how to "sail" it and throw it fast enough to stay aloft.

The joke is that they would consider it a true measure of how far a disc can be thrown. The pdga should at least establish an 'unassisted' record with strict parameters, similar to any track & field record. Probably nothing more than 5-9 mph gusts. Temperature, altitude & humidity are also possible parameters. Believe me, I love wind & I understand the challenge of using a disc in such wind. I've been windsurfing in high winds for over 35 years, throwing discs my entire life & disc golfing for 10 years. In fact I'm currently injured from icesailing in over 40 mph winds. Aside from technique and a big arm, this "record" primarily relies on extremely high winds similar to the land or water speed sailing records. 126mph(land yacht) & 64mph(kite) respectively. Maybe there should be a disc 'sailing' or 'storm chaser' record & an actual controlled distance record. This current record will be impossible to break until similar conditions are encountered. A simple updraft in such conditions could carry a static(non-spinning) disc hundreds of feet in the air & deposit it a mile away, literally. It's a somewhat meaningless record, but that's just my opinion.

I agree.

neither are drives though. A drive is done in the game and can help you. These throws arent shit unless they are parking it and how many courses have 700ft holes(that are not down hill measuring the hill). Ive thrown it iver "500" feet and that's only because they measure down hill while the hole is only 300ft away.

Do you understand how dumb you sound? This is like making fun of a guy hitting a 400 yard bomb in golf.

Its both, more on the side of him throwing really hard. His throwing style is outdated now

He wants it to go right fir a max distance flight so he chooses a disc that does this with his power. There are many discs that he wouldn't be able to make turn and there are many more that would turn way too much and just dive into the ground.

@@leevikv Any chance you could elaborate on the outdated style?

@@BeataDrumm not anymore because i forgor

+quickplaya you do realize he is one of the top in the world at distance throwing, right?

My statement still stands kiddo.

+quickplaya great, and you're still wrong.

+quickplaya these are some of the most un-fucking-believable drives I've ever seen. This guy held the world distance record of 836 feet for many years. Those forearm drives are over 400 feet and maybe even 500ft. If someone can throw that far, then they're throwing right. It's obvious that you're just jealous.

He just threw it over 1100 feet. He has the world record again.
