I have been playing disc for a couple years now, and am decent. I drive over three hundred and can get around 400 feet with a good throw. I hear the pros can got over 500ft. on drive, where do they get the extra distance??

Reps. Thousands of em.

word

I don't bother with long distance. I just have cable phone and all my calls are free. Comes with road runner at $39.99

Just buy all the new, fast, overstable discs that have just came out and learn to throw with a TON of anhyzer.

I think that is what most people try. LOL! :D

Long distance would be Applying a Great technique with perfectly timed POwer..... I guess that would be the best way to get consistant distance...

Here ya go- Advice from a girl! After the big TWC tournament this weekend, I got a few tips on increasing my distance- And when I tried it practicing this week, it has helped:
A tight grip and thumb placement- the further toward the middle of the disc my thumb was, the better snap I got! Something new to practice! But what works for one person, doesn't always work for another.

Brad Hammock told me something that has really stuck with me and I can FEEL it when i make a good shot. He said ALWAYS be accelerating threw your shot. To me that means nice slow controled reach back and then ACCELERATE and EXPLODE threw your shot. I dont know if that will help anybody but i know that when i start spraying or not getting my max D and i concetrate on ACCELERATING threw my shots it always bring back not only the distance but the accuracy as well.

Prime the pump. First, get it all going forward...THEN...accelerate through the 'hit' focusing on a BIG follow-through.

Ha, just what the Doc ordered........Thanks for Monday nite.
Go Roy Boy :cool:

try the quarter K the disc makes you better even if you are not... :o

Exactly. The disc flies a Quarter Kilometer that's why it's called QK. That's 250 meters. I don't think it comes with a guarantee though, except in England, and so far nobody has ever thrown one 1/4 k.

Too bad people already threw a 1/4 kilometer and NOT with a QK. Ken Jarvis and Sandstrom did it, with a Valkarie and something else I forget. We have yet to see how far a QK goes.

I have thrown it 603ft Jarvis is on the discwing team he will beat the record this year.One of his first throws were 660 ft but it hit the driving range net.This is a better mouse trap.

I believe Jarvis threw a TeeBird when he threw 247m.

Does he really need a disc that goes farther? Do any of us?

NO.

Maybe you were kidding :confused:, but the Quarter K was named for its weight, not its flight distance.
It weighs a quarter of a [K]ilogram.
Just a bit over 8 ounces, which is what most max weight discs weigh.
:cool:

Unless the good old metric system has thrown me for a loop once more, I seem to recall that a quarter of a kilogram would be 250 gms, quite a bit more than what a max weight (180-something grams) driver weighs, at least on Earth, that is. ;)

I do recall a story about the Quarter K being named for the distance they were shooting for with the design, but am too tired tonight to look it up.

In any event, it will be interesting to how the disc actually flies when it finally shows up on, well, this planet... :D

NO.



i certainly do!!!

Oops! You are correct. I've misremembered something for sure.
I thought I'd read that the 'Quarter-K' name came from the weight, but obviously I was wrong as a quarter kilo is indeed 250 grams.
That'd be one heavy disc!
Sorry.
:p

Yeah, to break the current record, a disc needs to fly about 250 meters...which is 1/4 of a kilometer...thus Quarter K.
