So you think you can drive?

I got a quick question for everyone. Have you ever really measured how far you can drive? Not just walking off your drive or using the distance on a hole. I bring this up cause me and a few buddies were having a little argument about how far everyone could throw their drive and they all thougt they threw 375 400' cause of the lenght of a few holes and I called bs on them so we went to lined football field and guess what? Not a single one on this windless day could throw from one end to the other (endzone to endzone is 360') So if you really want to know your true distance you should try that and you might be suprised. My best throws landed aroundd 350'

I'm having great throws with the star katana as well. I don't think I've gotten it out to 450', but I'm averaging 370-390'.

[CincyChainS]

i think i cal BS on most of the replies on here! LOL 350 for most i would guess... Once you start getting over 400, you have to have proof. Like i wouldnt believe that Ben Calhoun could throw that far, but people have seen it so you have to believe it. Others on here, 400 is a LONG LONG way to throw.

How much height, and what kind of line was the buzzz on?
Not being smart, just curious.

[Ryan Rios]

Thanks and yes I get what your saying and believe you. When I was workin with only mids/putters I had to learn to throw higher with nose down to get over 300. Sadly now I'm back to dropping my shoulder and turning it over.

My Best distance measured on a football field was last year with a star wraith 166g's, at 422ft. I was averaging about 375ft.

My longest measured throw was 509 (right hand) before i ripped my shoulder up a few years ago. I have steadily been getting my distance back over the past few years. I've been ripping disc out a touch over 430 but thats about as far as i'll ever get a disc out again. Also been working on my left hand (I'm naturally a lefty as it is) which i rip out right around 350-360. We have 4 or 5 guys from Lexington, KY that can wing a disc out well over 450 (Zack Skees, Sean Turner, Ryan Friebert [500+], Jacob Spaulding and Rob Dillhof who i have personally seen throw a putter over 400). However most people who think they can throw 400 find out that they are horridly short of that mark and can only do it when there is a gail force tailwind with a flippy flippy disc and a wide open field. Most people i have ran into have trouble getting over 300 feet in distance.

I measure the ACTUAL distances of my discs.
I also measure courses when I can.
The signs are rarely right, but that is not my intention.
I just want to know for my own peace of mind and confidence.
If the hole is marked 380 and I measure 360. Then the hole is 360 for me...I use the same measuring device to measure the distance of my discs. Sooooo they will match up. I know which disc will go 360.
It is true that people embellish their distances.
This is not a distance competition, this is golf...a game of accuracy.

[mike p. kurtz]

so true, when i throw in practice i might walk off the distance of my throws, not accurate distance but i can gauge how i am doing. e.g. hundred steps for this shot, hundred five steps for that shot, i'm doing better and what did i do to gain those extra steps on that throw .

[Blake Meyers]

baseball field is 300 ft to the fence so i throw over it a lot so i know its more than 300

[Ryan Rios]

I use a wheel I bought for $20. I also use a field that I measured.
I don't throw for max d since I think there's other things I should work on instead.
I toss stalkers ~320, thrown with about 10-15 degrees of hyzer@ about 15-20 high
when ever I try big d, I end up dropping my shoulder and oating it up:(
