Ok...


I hear that the pro orc gets the most distance out of any disc anyone has ever thrown. I also hear the the SOLF gets the most distance. Which of the drivers out there actually gets the most distance?

Actually I think the DX Valk is the disc that holds the worlds record distance (800 + ft I think). There may be a newer record though. It depends on the thrower. I like Star Wraith, the ESP Surge and the orignial Raging Inferno (don't throw this one into a head wind!) for big D (all longer than a Pro Orc IMO) but I'm also a noodle arm (390'is a good throw for me). Big arms can turn all of these discs over. By the time this thread is old you'll most likely get dozens of answers to your question. The best advice, I think, is to simply try different discs and figure out which one goes the furthest for you.

Neither, they both sit on the ground till someone throws them. After that, its a matter of personal technique and capabilities. No one disc flies farther than the other, its all up to the thrower.

To date, the 3 longest thrown discs were (longest 1st) a valkyrie, a teebird, and an XS.

I thought the Beast was the current distance holder.

I think Christian Sandstrom still holds the record at 820' with a DX Valkyrie.

Not according to this (https://www.discgolfvalues.com/bigd2.htm) and this (https://www.discgolfvalues.com/bigd4.htm).

The rogue seems to fly pretty far. It's the only disc I can throw further than a Surge.

The Raging Inferno DT is another very long disc but it is a bit finicky (at least the one that I have). It's also understable even in a mild tailwind so it's not as versitile as the ESP Surge IMO (the Surge is of course on the understable side too but not nearly as much) but thrown correctly and in the right conditions it will go further for me than any other disc I've thrown.

those two discs fly exactly the opposite for me :)

the RIDT holds a pretty good line unless i just throw it badly and the surge always turns over. hmmm

Check out the second this...................


I need to get me one of those champion dx valks...lol

'innova champion' as the manufacturer .
d.x.valk is the disc

The second this holds that sandstrom has his 820 some foot shot.

First I will reiterate that it is the thrower and not the disc that achieves distance. Pure distance is the practice of using an understable disc to catch a tailwind and maximizing the full flight path of the disc. The disc must be fast enough to match the wind speed, but it must be understable enough to fly stable at medium speeds so that the disc does not drop as it slows down. It also has to have enough of whatever it takes to fly well high in the air because you cannot break any records with a good low, flat, golf D drive.

Discs that have a shot at the record...of course the Valk, Illusion, MOLS, Flash, Rogue...Most newer discs are too fast/don't glide enough to get their action high in the air without fading out too much on their descent.

No shock there. I'll bet your RIDT isn't purple. Color (for whatever reason) can play a role in the HSS of a disc. Then again it could just be me. I have a purple 174 g RIDT which, as I said, is understable even in a tail wind. My friend has a blue one he bought the same day (late April), from the same guy and in the same (roughly) weight and his is quite a bit more HSS than mine (we both have thrown both discs and agree on this). My ESP Surge is Orange. I don't want to get too far off the original subject though. The RIDT is an extremely long flying disc (as is the RI) and I would recommend either of them. But as has been said, it is the thrower that generates the power, speed and release line. The disc just goes along for the ride. That's why I throw the ones that fly long for me, maybe not for others.

Shameless plug I know, but what can I say (?) it bombs!

Plug away ... it does us no good unless we can buy it. ;)

soon my friends... and we're not talking QKII soon either ;).

Get the Devilhawk! Chuck Norris can throw it a mile...

Yes, but does it come in Orange?

The rogue seems to fly pretty far. It's the only disc I can throw further than a Surge.

Me too. Threw one 425 feet on a 425 foot flat hole. I don't throw anything 425 feet awake. I throw 350 when I'm throwing well.

I agree about the fact most new discs dont hold the necessary speed to continue flight well enough to beat the distance record. I think the pro orc (or pro starfire) have good shots. The solf not as much because the plastic doesnt allow them to break in right for max D, not to mention the air friction debate about premium plastics.

But I play golf, and the SOLF is plenty long w/ more predictability than i can ask for.
