Congratulations.. I saw a local pro in Oregon park a 570+ foot hole before and almost crapped myself.
700+ is sick, great job

as Dr. Kachtz has already said this is a pure distance line not a golf shot. He's throwing what's called an Anhyzer Flex shot. these are best performed with more overstable discs like the Destroyer or Boss. the other big D shot is called the 4 direction hyzer flip. it is performed with an understable disc like the Valkyrie. both shots need a minimum of 60ft of height and 75ft L/R.
Road runner/valk for Big D desert wind throwing.
Not necessarily true. Avery unofficially broke the record last year with a pro destroyer.
If I am not mistaken, people throwing for big D with optimal wind always throw a flippy disc. kachtz posted a thread about giving the vulcan a try for the Big D competition. Also posted in another thread other understable discs are best for Big D.
you don't have to be invited... and you don't count months very well either...
Do you play tournaments? If you are just planning on competing in distance comps then great, other than that, I see no reason to even practice those shot types. Shots like that are impractical, inaccurate, and not at all useful in a round.
I would love to see these monster drives in person, I've seen 450'+ throws, but never anything close to the bombs kachtz is throwing.
dude has only written a hundred times about "big d in the desert"...
It sucks to see in person.
Who do you think has to retrieve the discs, the person who is still trying to throw 750 feet or his friend who happens to be a cross country runner
CW you should see him play, he has become an all around amazing player. I saw him hit a 160 foot blind anhyzer flex with a roc while he was standing in a pile of thorns 4 feet high
