Distance

[crushboi]

Ok so, I want to be able to play pro in a few years. I'm 16 and my goal is to be able to tour at around 18. What is the ideal distance to make the cut on the dgpt? I currently throw 450' golf lines and 500' distance shots. I think that a good goal is 550' golf lines and 600' distance. What are yalls thoughts?

Thank you! We have really cold winters so I've been spending most of my disc golf time in my basement putting at about 20 feet.

450-500 is plenty to cash.

You gotta make the clutch shots and be able to putt.

And by putt, that means 99% in circle 1. and at least 60-70% in circle 2.

Posts like this confuse me lol.

If you are being truthful and saying you throw 450' golf LINES, meaning you can manipulate this distance and accurately and consistently throw the line you want...you are already elite level for this skill. The fact that you are only asking about raw distance makes me believe this is your claim, is that incorrect?

I feel like I'm watching a different sport when people can say things like this and pretend its not an extremely elite claim. What pro tour courses demand more than this in order to place very well? If your claim of how far you can throw all of the major lines is true, then just work on putting lol.

This would make him literally the best putter in the game by a lot:

I'm far from that

If you truly have that type of power right now, and you want to compete at the highest level, do these things instead of chasing distance:

1) Start playing MPO immediately; play as many tournaments as you can, but have stretches of time where you take "offseasons" to give yourself time to work on technique
2) Drastically reduce the amount of disc golf content you consume; figure out what specific problem you are trying to fix, then find someone to help you. Don't scroll Youtube for disc golf content. The guys you want to compete with are already out there competing, not watching clickbait and arguing on the internet
3) Develop your own style of playing the game; reflect on your rounds, figure out what the holes in your game are; you have to be your own best teacher

Statistical probability.

Just because you have a 9 in 10 chance doesn't mean you don't miss 5 times in a row.

But the reason guys like Paul dominated so hard is because they don't miss putts.

The people who struggle on the course, if they got their putting average in circle on to 8/10 alone, they would be shooting negative score. if they had 50% in circle 2, it would really go further.

But the elite players are not missing putts.

I mean. Maybe?
Duno.

I know Harper Thompson personally, he's been doing 450 golf lines since he was 14/15 years old.
Insane athlete.

I generally dont apply the "internet distance rule in here" but.

Most peoples online 450 is really 350.

If you're on reddit or facebook, its distance given -200.

I do not understand this take lol. Stats do not represent some phantom universal statistical outcomes. They represent the results of actual putts, and McBeth absolutely misses putts. All of the elite players, for sure, miss putts.

Statistics and odds. I explained it fairly basic.

Odd's on things don't mean success, or unsuccess. if you play any dice games it makes way more sense. But, lets take a d10 roll, something fairly simple for something like D&D.

A roll of 2-10 is a made putt, a roll of 1 is a miss.
You can roll 1, miss, 5 times in a row even though the odds are 9/10 or 90% success.

And the cloudbreaker was a golf line then the dd1 was a more distance type shot. The video is the hades. And if your wondering why I'm throwing a hades at my level I live at 6000 feet elevation.

I messed that up, my reply is in the bottom of the quote

I mean, the guy did just say C1 and not C1X.... so those numbers would go way up if you include the drop ins.

I understand this, but putting is not rolling the dice. These stats are not the results of resolving dice rolls lol.

60-70% C2 would be a way bigger gap to close. Anyone who pushed that high for an entire tour would be stomping the field.

Truuuue. Though one thing is for sure - if you're hitting like that from C2 its hard to imagine you're less than 95+% in C1X because that C2 number takes a ton of precision.

Oh for sure. My only point is that no one is actually at 60-70% C2 lol. That is an insanely higher percentage than anyone is even close to overall.

A Horizon DD1 I've been thinking about them. I've had an S-Line the past few months for wind play 15 to 45 mph in my region. Have you given any thought to a Horizon Cloudbreaker? It added distance compared to an S-Line Cloudbreaker a year ago, I use for the reason wind.

As with the others, work on putting.
