New 9 y/o distance record - 312' 11" - Page 4

Thanks for the heads up Jeff. David Jr threw 791 ft. unofficially today which was downhill aided, but still farther than most everyone else. Also wins 19 and under putting

BTW, the article states that David Jr is the youngest player to be sponsored by Innova. While at the time he was sponsored, David was the youngest such player, Nick Duran's father, Manny, asked me to point out that, in fact, Nick is now the youngest player to be sponsored by Innova. Nick is 2 time 10 and Under Junior World Champ and holds a couple distance records himself.

Utterly SICK !! Put that boy on antibiotics.

Unreal.

My favorite story about this phenom.

He aces like a 540 foot hole and the first thing he says to me after he told me he aced it.

"I aced a hole you can't reach."

Congrats David.

MTL,

That throw was quite a bit farther than we expected. We've been practicing a lot and I hoped for something in the 650-680 neighborhood. Three factors made it longer I think.

1. Excellent throw early on so the arm was fresh.
2. Excellent disc - the lightweight Pro Boss was perfect for this
3. Excellent conditions - wind speed at release was 17, but it probably gusted somewhat higher during the throw. Altitude +/- 3000 feet. It was chilly though, in the 50's, so that aspect could have been better.

Mark Jarvis, who we know can throw that far, threw his long throw first, and David's mark was not too far from that. If not for that and the fact that we measured the throw numerous times with different people and two range finders it was enough beyond our expectations that I might have suspected a measuring error.

He'll have his work cut out for him to top that distance next year. Continued growth (He's about 5'8" ,140 lbs now) should help.

Dave

Where can you look up all of the distance records all the way down to 4 years old? I am curious to see how my son is comparing.

bcoxxx · Apr 11 2009, 12:14 PM

never mind...did a little google digging and found the current records as of a few weeks ago.

It's a World Flying Disc Federation record. Not a PDGA one.

But the WFDF hasn't made a big deal of it either. It'll come.
