Could be an older 1000+ pro.
1) I've played locally with a girl who can throw 400ft+ but her upshots and putting is abysmal. The next time I see her on the course I'm getting her full name. I do know she used to play pro, had a kid, stopped playing and is now hoping to play pro again.
2) I had a long discussion with a 1000+ rated pro recently and we discussed his technical abilities. He said his drives are between 320-350, approaches from 300+ are very accurate, and he said his putting from 40ft in was solid.
Yep.
^corwin_brown? We know there's no females.
It sounds to me as if you are just making up players to support your position. There are 2 FPO players throwing 400 feet, your mystery mom isn't one of them.
also there's a big difference in 350 and 400.

As for your 1000+ rated pro who only drives 320 but is great at 300 foot upshots, what is his name? I'll go ahead and call BS on all accounts.
:clap:
So, you've got examples of girls throwing 400 ft, Cat beating out some 1000 rated pros at LaMarida, ridiculously low numbers of women even playing disc golf, but still there's those that think 1000 is unachievable because of genetics/science/physiology. Makes sense.

Lulz
I'll reiterate this and hope it sinks in to those that don't get it. Rating is a comparison to the field. To think women will become 1000 rated would be to imply women will progress faster than men. Since growth is primarily with men this is very unlikely. Even if women become better overtime, for them to reach 1000 rated women would have to outdo the progression of men. 1000 rated skill today is likely to be below 1000 rated skill in 5 years. Is it possible a woman could become 1000 rated? Sure. Is it probable? Not really with current growth and the way rating is calculated. Not to mention courses are getting longer.

WhoopsThis post is so good it built bridges lol :hfive:
A few more like this and people will soon forget how hard you trolled them in the past haha
Late to the thread but I think it has to do with physical limitations.
Yes, there are a few of the top women that can drive far enough to not be at a huge disadvantage against the men but that's only a few. Also, some may be able to drive long enough but not do it with any accuracy.
This leaks down to upshots and putting to a lesser degree.
I think unless we get a woman who is exceptionally gifted physically, sort of like Serena Williams is in tennis, we probably won't see a female rated 1000+.
Right now I think the highest rated female was Val Jenkins and Paige Pierce both posting 976 years. I think perhaps they could reach into the 980's or low 990's if they max out.
Paige puts up 1000+ rounds several times a year, just think that she can't do it consistent enough. That said, she's still better than all but maybe one of the male players in my area, so she's pretty badass.
Serena is gifted physically, however, she doesn't stand a chance against any man in the top 100 and probably not even 200
