My longest on flat ground came on a hole that was marked as 504'. With hard packed ground, I can get a pretty favorable skip and I have come within 100' of the basket. 400' is not the norm for me, so I can't help but wonder about the hole measurement, especially because I've repeated the throw many times. I'm normally a 350+- thrower.

On flat ground, not sure but I'd guess somewhere between 350 and 400 using a 168 Pro Katana. I'll have to get a rough measure next time I'm out there (Seneca Creek). That Katana has been consitantly my longest driver - accurate too. Love that disc!!!
On a course, flat ground, no wind, throwing an actual line and not a huge flex shot, I've taken the following molds to the 400-450 range: Teebirds, Cheetah, OLF's, Destroyers, Katana, Boss, Nukes, Roadrunners, Stalkers, Buzz, Valkyrie, Gazelle, Leopard etc.
Throwing BH rollers, retarded flex shots or strong tailwind hyzerflips, I've broken 500' with Destroyers, Roadrunners, SL's and Forces.
Disc doesn't seem to make much difference. Once I know enough about a mold to understand how I need to throw it for a given line distance stems from technique. That being said I still want a flat ground no wind 400' Wizard throw to happen.

about 450' at Mexico's McMillan (northeast) park, hole 18. slight S-turn with a 169 star destroyer. had about 100' left to the pin.
Yeah. I do have 350' putter throws recorded on video and uploaded on youtube btw. Not everyone learns at a typical pace. *Shrug*
Well, 7 months later I can consistently get 400-420', and occasionally push one out to 440'ish

you bombed a few of those at RLW on the downhill hole
Tis good to be young and in love, heh Mash?
:doh: Well now that I've been thoroughly embarrassed, I have to ask, what plastic and weight is the wizard you throw that far? I'm dying to try one out now.
Sorry for the skepticism btw.

I was showing some guys how to exploit a crosswind with a banshee and I threw about 250' past the basket with what seemed to be a mere flick. It were a giant anny shot with strong tail right wind.
Between 265-320 usually average 285ft:|

Max D in open field I have hit 510-520 a few times. With an X avenger, teebird and Surge.
On the course I tend to top out at 450', but its hard to measure any one drive.

I should update my answer on this one. My longest flat ground is the same, between 460-500'. My longest drive (downhill) was ~740'. I passed this hole by about 30 feet, right over the top of the basket dead center, roughly a foot high. Longest drive: Z Comet.
I drove twice (more than that actually, but only twice with comets) with comets, the Z Comet passed it by 30', the new X Comet was pin high and right by 30'.

just had a personal best this weekend!
it was 334 for my longest measured throw, D Destroyer 165ish
now its 350, FLX Surge 168
average drive is only 290, that 350 monster i had was a fluke

I've had a handful of shots in the 410-425 range. Usually with Nukes/Katanas but a few of those have been with a 167g Champ Valk with a nice Tailwind. Most of my drives top out in the 350 range now...not sure what I did to lose the distance gains I had...
