That is absolutely great DW Sr. When y'all were over here in Yadkinville for Mookies Cup I had Dave Jr. sign a couple of discs for me, one of which I sent to a friend who is in the DG Hall of Fame. Tell Dave Jr. he was tickled with the disc and a big congrats from Ramcat Ridge.

[dwiggmd]

Thanks Riverdog! I'll pass it on. And thanks again for the help with the attempt that day.

[Jake L]

That is just great! WTG Dave Jr.

[dwiggmd]

Thanks Jake, and everyone! Todd, it was a 150 gm DX Beast (red w/ white stamp fwiw)

[scoop]

****, the furthest I've ever been able to throw a 9 year old is about 15'.

[bschweberger]

Congrats. I knew he would do it.

Innova rules the world of 9 year old distance phenoms!

Innova just plain rules.

What disc did he throw?

[cwphish]

Awesome, WTG little Wiggins!!!!!!!!!

Still can't believe he did it with a Big Bead Aviar!!!! j/k

We all knew you would do it. Now help your old man learn to throw that far.

Backhand or forehand? Either way, CONGRADS!

Another name added to my list of people who throw farther than me....

Way to go!!!

Way to go!!!

I make a list of people I throw farther than, its a much shorter list and much more managable. (and the kid is not on the list)

*In my best Groucho Marx*

"Talk about your long lists..."

Hey Rooster, that's nothing. My 9 yr. old must be an ultra long range driver. Every morning I drive her all the way to the elementary school building from here. Weenie arm.




Congrats to the big armed Mr. Wiggins. (Hey, he may be 9, but if a 9 yr. old can throw that far, he should be called "Mr.")

My 10 year old can roll 350' but can only throw 200. The problem is he won't use any long distance drivers, he uses a 155G Champ Cobra. I've put Valks, Beasts, Flicks in his hand and he doesn't like them. He won an 147G old school cyclone at a tourney last weekend, and he says he will try it. Hopefully he will because I know he can get more distance than he does.

Congrats to both of you! I met David at last year's Bull City, and was very impressed, both with his ability and his attitude. He has a great future ahead of him!

It's nice to see that me and a 9 year old are throwing the same disc for distance. I can probably beat him, but not by much.

[MTL21676]

not only can he throw far, but he can play pretty well also

Holey moley, the kid won his division by 99 strokes!!

[cwphish]

At the Friday night doubles before the Oak Hollow Open 2004 (pro), I had the fortune to watch David play for the first time, and partnered with his dad. Little Wiggins is old school, using rocks and sticks to mark his lies, and going right up to the disc and slinging 30'+ putts and making them. A bright future doesn't even begin to acknowledge his potential!

That is amazing! Congrats!

[cwphish]

Nice Rip Little Wiggie! I can't wait to be old enough to play Masters, so I never have to worry about being beaten by "The Kid".

[Jake L]

You and me both.....

I have done the math. I'm 33... 7 years to masters. He is 10, and as long as he does not go pro before the age of 17.....

He did play open this year......

[cwphish]

Ha Ha, I only have 6 years to wait and take my lumps.

There is currently an error on the date listed for the record on the WFDF site. The correct date for the record is 4 April 2006.

I showed David Jr the messages and he would like to thank everyone for their kind comments!

[dwiggmd]

Still unofficial, but David made a record attempt throw today that measured 484 feet 3 inches measured with tape measure and laser rangefinder. This eclipses the current 11 y/o record of 399 ft.

Disc was Innova CFR Wraith 2007 version 167 grams. southwest wind at 14 MPH. High Point Athletic Complex, High Point, NC.

Thanks to Super Dave Gilstrap, Tim Tatersack Spurgeon, and Mookie mookarelli Byerly for inspiration and officiation.

We got it on DVD and hope to edit it down to youtube format soon.

[esalazar]

Congrats "Little D" on you Big D.
