I always felt the 2016 record felt.. dirty, there should be stipulations like I could throw it into a hurricane or a tornado and have the world record throw. The wind limit should be capped at 10-15mph. But that's just my take on it, my best throw was 445ft not 1200ft. 🤷🏼♂️
@@mackyd955 it doesn't matter. You can have a competition and see who throws the furthest on that day but, you should mark that wind condition was too high and because of that it is not official world record.
Simon still routinely crushes massive distance, just for shits n giggles. His elbow is no longer what it used to be, but given the same 42mph tail wind I think he could still out throw Wiggins.
It really just comes down to release velocity. That’s the most important metric when you can’t control for disc choice, altitude, and prevailing wind. Wiggins can produce 85 MPH with a regulation-weight disc, which is faster than Simon has ever thrown. Yes, Simon there 89 MPH, but he did that with a super lightweight disc. As far as I’m concerned, Eagle is the absolute king of backhand speed. I personally recorded him throwing an 86 MPH roller with a 175G disc at the Beaver State Fling in 2019.
Some inaccuracies in this video in regards to the early, pre-beveled disc records: First, Victor Malafronte's record set at the 1974 Octad was broken about 5 minutes later by me with a C.P.I. Allstar he lent me (Thanks, Victor!). Second, the 290 foot record attributed to me was the indoor record set during the 1975 WFC at the Los Angeles Convention Center. A number of competitors including me hit the low ceiling which prevented greater distances from being achieved. Third, I held the distance record from the 1974 Octad until the fall of of 1978. During that span, I broke my own record becoming the first to throw over 400 feet tossing a 119 World Class Frisbee, 412 feet. In the fall of 1978, John Kirkland bested that with a throw of ~444 feet.
@@davis8851 Haha you should totally do that! Jokes aside, the guy is just very envious that you've achieved something as great as this and that he will probably never be able to match.
Why should that record stand, wind aided with a 45mph tailwind? That’s not a record, it’s circumstance, track and field wouldn’t allow it. Eagle should just go to the top of Mount Elbert in Colorado and throw a few 5000 footers if that’s the case. Flat ground, no wind, let’s see the true distance… 🎅🏻🏴☠️🏔🥏
some rules would make a lot of sense here. Flatness is no more than 2% grade ..wind from any direction no more than 6 kilometers per hour. having to hit a fairway would be good also. even 100 meters wide. ..seems like tossing a disc into a tornado is next logical step with these current rules.
Distance records should be two categories. Wind assistance and no wind assistance. And there is a specific wind speed that would separate the two categories.
Great video! A quick note; the PDGA was established in 1976 so it couldn't establish world records in 1970. It's actually WFDF (World Flying Disc Federation) that recognizes all world records in all flying disc disciplines.
That’s incredible to see the difference, but how far would Stokley have thrown with 40 mph winds? My guess is he would have been close to Wiggins. They need to have a grid like ball golf distance competition and have a max wind for a record. I would guess that 900 would be impossible to break
If Stokely had a lightweight boss plus the wind he would have been able to get close to it. Wiggins has a lot of strength so I don’t know how that plays into it, clearly Lizotte is built more similarly to Stokely and he couldn’t hit 1,100 like Wiggins did.
Throwing in 42 mph wind and breaking the record is like Michael Scott running by the speed machine while a car is passing. Dont get me wrong, super impressive, but should have an asterisk next to it.
Even long jump and sprint records have a max tailwind limit of 4m/s. Absolutely silly that disc records can be established with a huge tailwind. They should start over with a 5m/s max to have an even playing field.
Stokley's throws were absolute BOMBs with those discs in those conditions. Sandstrom's seemed to be a "perfect" throw, could not fly any better or go any farther than that 250m. mad respect to everyone on this list
I started in 1981 playing Disc Golf. In 1983 we got the Aero, the pros were throwing that disc close to 300'. Courses were shorter then. Before you discount Wiggins throw because of the wind, Primm NV is always there & so is the wind. Go take a disc and see what you can do. Wiggins was winning distance competitions since the age of 10, there is a lot more to throwing distance than just the wind
Yes sir, I completely agree... even with the perfect conditions no one else could throw that far. let's just say the wind helped a little for the 1,108' 🙂
Wiggins literally threw it straight up or close to. Like what? lol. I think 40mph wind is generously low, maybe at ground level. But lets be real dude. He didn't throw 1100 feet because he's been winning distance comps since age 10 and he's just a god amongst men. He fucking spike anny'd a disc nearly straight up as hard as he could to let the wind just send it.
@@wildcat31772 He didn't throw it "straight up into the air" You have no idea the complicated "calculation' one has to make given any particular condition. Disc weight, disc stability, angle into the wind, angle of elevation, altitude, etc. Get any of that wrong, and the disc flies WORSE than normal. FWIW the disc used was a lightweight R-pro Boss, a disc almost no one uses under normal conditions and no one else used that day.
hopefully one day we can have a standard set and use a giant hangar to host the distance competition. Having the wind do most of the work is super lame, I want to know how far a PERSON can make the disc go.
The chart at the end is the best part of this video I clipped it and sent it too all my buddies that complain about they can't throw far. Well same with 90 of players in that 350' or less range.
That’s insane this is my first time learning about the world records and call me crazy but that world record should not stand. I believe in giving credit where credit is due but that should be a no brainer to anyone who is involved.
This is a good, short, concise video. I do have some concerns that a bunch of footage I shot is used in this video, without my knowledge or permission, or credit, though.
Cool video! You are missing Ken Jarvis World Record at 810' with a DX Teebird that happened about 10 minutes before Sandstrom threw 820' with DX Valkyrie.

@@seabas22 I have some video of Marc Jarvis (Ken's better-looking identical twin) throwing in 2014. He was working with Juliana Korver (trying to get her to do a turnaround, but she wouldn't have it).
One of my best drivers is the pro boss, and until now I've read its little 1108ft claim on it and been confused. This video clarifies that. It should read 1108(45mph wind). If they got a bunch of pros out there in all different tail winds and calculated the graph of distance and wind, they could probably work put a calculation to modify the distance recorded depending on the wind. Ahh, probably not.. cause then there are gusts and thermals, yep too complicated.
Great content, but def don't understand why they would allow a tail wind like that in a competition...or at least I wouldn't compare the early competition s to the later ones

@@williamhornaday2369 I don't think so because the distance throwers, without wind, I am guessing could throw over 220m, and in the future longer, so not any indoor sports stadium.

There should probably be different classifications of distance records. Elaine King hit basket on an 850ft downhill shot. I always thought that was really impressive.
Not sure why they don't throw both directions and take the average, the way land speed records are done. Wiggins is a beast though, his dad entered him in our tuesday night club tourneys when he was very young. He'd be at the course pretty much daily practicing. I believe he still holds some age specific distance records.
What would you even call Victor Malafrontes throw? is such a weird special technique, would love to see one of the pros try to recreate it and beat his record with the mordern discs or something. would be so fun to see lol, that "swing" is pretty... special
hey ive tried throwing with a solid 20-30 mph tailwind, and while yes it adds a HUGE amount of distance(my furthest throw is 509 ft because of that) The discs are nearly COMPLETELY unreadable in the wind, whatever you think you're doing right you're doing wrong, and your discs fly completely differently, I was throwing my innova corvette(the only disc I've gotten over 500)which is relatively flippy in no wind and was turned into a beefcake that day. My furthest throw with a
yeah there should be wind limits for distance records. Otherwise, its the wind that's doing all the work. Not saying it doesn't still take some skill to throw accurately in the wind, but I feel it becomes more about luck and the wind hitting your disc just right to get the record amongst the distance competitors.
Would like it if they quit allowing the comps at the salt flats cause it really skews the numbers. Wiggins is probably an 800ft thrower at best without a nearly 50 mph tailwind, which is still insane.
Track and field events limit world records to a 2.0 m/s wind. Someone could throw a putter further than 1108’ if thrown downhill. Rules should include flatness, altitude, wind, and surface the disc lands on.
I don’t even play disc golf but I think there should be a limit to how much wind you can use to assist. Fuck with 45 mph wind and a little luck anyone could take the record
I think there should be a distinction made between guy’s throwing for distance in “realistic” conditions and guys going to a special location and in specific conditions that are highly favorable to the distance a golf disc will travel. There should be the distance world record and the realistic distance record.
The wind is crazy yes, but there are no rules yet... which is unfortunate, I agree. But with that being said david still throws absolute bombs and would be at the top regardless
So what you are saying is that the rules for distance in throwing needs to be the average between two throws in opposite directions so that cheating with 42mp/h winds is HEAVILY discouraged?
@@discgolfcontent It's still impressive, but the wind is adding at least a third ox extra power there, if not more. Like someone else said, just throw it into a tornado with a GPS tracker and find it again a week later and you have the record.
How about making them throw in both the tailwind and headwind directions and averaging the two throw distances. I bet they WOULDN'T pick windy places anymore.
Track & Field 100m records don't count if there's a tailwind of more than 2 m/s. That's not a lot of wind. There really should be a wind legal record recorded separately because these salt fields with massive tail winds don't really show off talent as much as how perfectly a gust of wind can grab the underside of a disc and carry it forever.
Cool vid. But the distance record has become a bit of a joke when deliberately attempted in crazy wind speeds. My Max distance is probably 300ft but I'm sure I can beat this is I head to Kansas during tornado season. This record should change with some rules dictating max wind speed, no wind, average distance between 2 shots in opposite directions or something to eliminate just chasing 40+mph winds and throwing it up high
Is there any world record for normal wind conditions? Kind of like in track and field where there is a limit on the amount of wind allowed in long jump and 100m? Otherwise it's just a matter of finding the most amount of wind..
This is a great video. But, not sure why it's called the "Disc Golf' distance record. (click bait I guess) There were no disc golf tees or targets involved. Golf discs? Yes. Distance is an event in overall tournaments. It's the disc sports distance record. Love, Karen.

I think there should be a distinction made between guy’s throwing for distance in “realistic” conditions and guys going to a special location and in specific conditions that are highly favorable to the distance a golf disc will travel. There should be the distance world record and the realistic distance record.
not all of us can have a 45mph tailwind and definitely none of us can be david wiggins jr lol
No hate but there should be records with no wind and records with tail wind because at 4:00 that tail wind is nuts
i agree, but for now they are counting it...
@@discgolfcontent for sure next hurricane I'm going to the beach and going for the record myself. Will post if it's worth it lol
@@ryanbrandnu7660 🤣🤣
What are the rules for conditions/wind, if any? At 4:00 it's clear they have a very strong tailwind
Unfortunately there isn't any... That's why the record is with 42 MPH winds. hopefully soon they can come up with something to regulate the record!
@@discgolfcontent I see... thank you for getting back to me
They should just build a 1000 ft long wind tunnel at this point, some of the set ups were ridiculous.
I’m gonna get a Victor Malafronte jersey
#2
That would be lit!
The wind makes it silly and not serious at all, on the edge of pathetic
I agree
Who the hell do I need to talk to to get that absolute DRIP polo at 3:02
🤣🤣🤣
Want to challenge this record. Wait for a hurricane and get Guinness out to a field with me.
You would throw 1,107'
I beat David Wiggins at a worlds distance comp back in the day
Are you serious?!
How'd i miss that? 😮💨
The record in the tornado needs to be thrown out I’d be embarrassed to be the guy claiming distance champ with that much wind
The wind is crazy yes, but there are no rules yet... which is unfortunate, I agree. But with that being said david still throws absolute bombs and would be at the top regardless
I feel like an asterisk is needed by the new WR.
So what you are saying is that the rules for distance in throwing needs to be the average between two throws in opposite directions so that cheating with 42mp/h winds is HEAVILY discouraged?
🤔 hmmm...
@@discgolfcontent It's still impressive, but the wind is adding at least a third ox extra power there, if not more. Like someone else said, just throw it into a tornado with a GPS tracker and find it again a week later and you have the record.
Does anyone else think the latest throw could have an * for wind aided throw?
I think they should do an indoor record. That would truly show the power....
@@discgolfcontent or just put a requirement on max wind. Like 5mph. We would need a pretty big building for an indoor record
@@stephenismyfirstname1439 yeah, it would have to be a huge plane hanger, but you're right it could only go so big.
How about making them throw in both the tailwind and headwind directions and averaging the two throw distances. I bet they WOULDN'T pick windy places anymore.
thats what they SHOULD do...
Track & Field 100m records don't count if there's a tailwind of more than 2 m/s. That's not a lot of wind. There really should be a wind legal record recorded separately because these salt fields with massive tail winds don't really show off talent as much as how perfectly a gust of wind can grab the underside of a disc and carry it forever.
i agree...
Cool vid. But the distance record has become a bit of a joke when deliberately attempted in crazy wind speeds. My Max distance is probably 300ft but I'm sure I can beat this is I head to Kansas during tornado season. This record should change with some rules dictating max wind speed, no wind, average distance between 2 shots in opposite directions or something to eliminate just chasing 40+mph winds and throwing it up high
You're right brother, I hope they do somthing to make it fair...
Is there any world record for normal wind conditions? Kind of like in track and field where there is a limit on the amount of wind allowed in long jump and 100m?
Otherwise it's just a matter of finding the most amount of wind..
This is a great video. But, not sure why it's called the "Disc Golf' distance record.
(click bait I guess)
There were no disc golf tees or targets involved. Golf discs? Yes.
Distance is an event in overall tournaments.
It's the disc sports distance record.
