Call it what you will: ejection velocity, release speed, whatever. I just want to state the obvious: distance comes down to speed. We spend time working on form, and the objective, simply stated, is to increase the disc's speed when it leaves our hand. Of course you need to master the angles, reduce grip problems, and eliminate inconsistent "non-smoothness;" and of course different discs act differently... but if you ain't throwing FAST, you ain't throwing far.
How many DGCRers have measured their speed? What about the difference between forehand and backhand? I haven't thrown for a radar gun, but I'd bet my forehand release speed is faster than backhand, simply because it still consistently goes farther.
