Is this a Foot Fault?

I understand that, my point was that his analogy was a poor one.

Yup. Gotcha. This is devolving quickly. Landfill HooooOOOOO!!!

How tall are you?
Now stretch your arm into the air, how tall is that?

Now one person is standing straight up at the marked lie, and one is falling towards the basket, how much closer is that person?

yup, 3-8'

....Ummm armspan might be 8', but you only use one arm. I'll give you 3-4' advantage and that's about it. Elvis, the people like you are why there are 'things holding back our sport'.

Or, everyone could play from the same spot.

LOL. New tourney style! You've got 4 people playing singles, like quads. Everybody throws, negates their drive and just plays from the same spot on every throw
It'll be the most exciting round ever.

I know that wasn't what you intended, but you should be clearer.

My point is you can not land past the line.(in bball)

Obviously people 30' away are doing just that in disc golf. Let people leap frog from 50' away, but 30' is just ridiculous.

Yes. My reach out will not be a full 8', but believe it or not, I am not the tallest person on earth, someone else may be able to reach out farther. :thmbup:

No, they aren't.

If they release before they jump, what's the issue? You gotta have a foot next to your marker regardless of jump or standing putt.

Apparently some people can do this while extending 8' closer to the target.....not sure how, but Teebird Elvis says they can so it must be true.

He's played a round with Mr. Fantastic

Do you also need to stand within 30 cm's of the line, or can you stand further away if you wish? Why even compare to basketball? there is absolutely no similarties apart from trying to hit a basket with objects that are nowhere near similar.

Do you also have a problem with people stepping out of the tee box after the drive? If not, why not?

You can't land past the line on a 30' putt either just like free throw. You can outside of 32.8' though, more similar to a 3 pointer although unlike a 3 pointer you must still have a point of contact behind the lie and no points of contact in front of the lie before release.
