IF this thread is drifting toward "distance" (and away from speed), then I state that - inherently (not taking in consideration individual's specific limitations of such due to injuries, etc.) - overhands generate the most initial disc speed, forehands second, and backhands last (no, we're NOT taking in consideration rollers, scoobies, chickenwings, etc. ).
BUT speed does not correlate into distance directly AT ALL! And this is because of the disc's spin rate "part of the equation" which shows that bh's, while normally are slower in initial speed or forward motion, will "hold the line" longer / stay aloft longer due to the centripetal force "rpms" it exerts. And this is usually about 150% more than fh or oh throws.
