I was just reading a post on the Diablo DT thread that claimed that the thrower was getting 50 to 60 feet more out of the Diablo than all his other discs. I thought it might be fun to go through all of the "this disc flies further than all other discs" threads to see how far discs are really flying.

Taking the T-bird as the baseline and the claim that it could fly 400 feet I began adding.

The Crush could fly 30 feet more than the T-bird so we're up to 430 feet.

The Beast could fly 40 feet further than the Crush so we're up to 470 feet.

The Flash could fly 10 feet further than the Beast so we're up to 480 feet.

The Illusion could fly 35 feet further than the Flash so we're up to 515 feet.

The Orc could fly 25 feet further than the Illusion so we're up to 540 feet.

The Surge could fly 30 feet further than the Orc so we're up to 570 feet.

The Wraith could fly 20 feet further than the Surge so we're up to 590 feet.

The Inferno could fly 15 feet further than the Wraith so we're up to 605 feet.

The Orion LF could fly 10 feet further than the Inferno so we're up to 615 feet.

The Tee Rex could fly 20 feet further than the Orion LF so we're up to 635 feet.

And of course we're now up to the Diablo which flies 50 feet further than any other disc so we're up to 685 feet.

I really need to start taking steriods, that's all there is to it.

If he posted here, that would be 1154 feet.

I think his throw was more like 1262 MB feet, wasn't it?

OK now lets get something straight everbody throws every disc different. I can't throw a wraith as far as my T-bird I don't throw discs that need a lot of height very well, I also can't throw most understable discs for great distance because I tend to flip them. The inferno goes straight into the ground within a 200'. I did not come on here and say I was throwing 500' and have never claimed too. I came on here and very humbly admited my 300' average drive that occasionaly gets out to about 320 or so. I have had one drive that went past a 365' with a tailwind my longest drive that I can recall. I don't care if you believe me or not but I outdrove hole #13 or #14 at Lover's by about 20' which given my math is 350', I then was farther on the 500' hole than I had ever been I was up to fairly close to the tree I wasn't within 10' but I also wasn't 60' away either once again I am estimating in the neighborhood of 350 may have been 330' but definitely well over 300'. My other couple of drives were just slightly longer than my Surges and Orcs. I am not saying everyone will add 50' to every single drive. You get to a point in everything where improvement is difficult, take a sports car the first few seconds on a drag car are easier to shave off than when you start getting good times, then shaving off .01 of seconds becomes difficult. So getting 10' is a lot harder for someone throwing 500' than it would be for someone throwing 300' I believe that is the law of deminishing returns if I remember correct. But I can promise you 2 of the throws with that disc flat out amazed me yesterday, if you feel the need to call me a liar then by all means procede, I know the truth so knock yourself out.

It isn't you, it's every time a new disc comes out. It's quite funny, really. That is, your proper reply should have been, "man I messed up, I forgot to tell you that I threw the Diablo 513 feet. That's nothin', though, I can throw the Devilhawk 5822 feet!"

I'm opting that this be added to the rule book! :D

805.1A All distances that a player can throw should be multiplied by X before posting to the MB. However, whenever a new disc comes out, the first time the player throws it they should multiply their distance by 2X before posting to the MB.

Chuck Norris once shot a 17 on an 18 hole course he aced the first 16 and then aced the final two baskets with one throw. When someone tried to tell him one didn't count because it didn't come to rest in the basket only skipping in it to go to the next basket, well lets just say this man doesn't play anymore. :D :D :D

I know that people don't know me on here, but the people that do know me know that I take a lot of pride in being honest. You can go right now to the message board on the Bowling Green, Louisville, and Huntsville message board and find me returning discs. I tell my students that I will not intentionally lie to them because if I do they have no reason to trust me again. But the Diablo is the longest disc I have thrown and if the tee sign is correct then the disc went 350'. If the sign is incorrect then I appologize but that is all that I have to go by when determining distance.

Even Champion and Z plastic couldn't withstand the awesome force of a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

Maybe that is how they should test all new plastic, but then you could buy 10 discs and never buy anymore because nothing would ever be able to scratch them.

Boy do we need the Plastic Byron now!
( disc golf's version of the Iron Byron which tests balls and clubs head to head.)
Lots of players throw with different amounts of speed to spin ratio's and then theres off axis rotation that destroys stability.

One thing about the Diablo-Dt that is different than any disc without dimples is it's ability to fly at a neutrally stable flight over a wide range of velocities. Once locked into the glide portion of the flight, it just stays there longer. The dimples are truly performance enhancing in both distance and control, they are not on golf balls just for the looks! for those who have not seen the Diablos, or inferno line, there is surface technology on the flight plate for the 1st 1-1/2" on the leading edge, that also reduces drag. This rough surface helps the discs maintain their launch speed!
I am curios to see the performance of slower flying discs ( mid-range and fairway drivers) like the element-Dt's and Sabre-DT's! :cool:
