I don't really post much anymore but popping in and seeing this on the forums was really interesting to me.
When this thread was made it was obviously a tongue in cheek reference to the thread about Will Schusterick and the struggles he was having and at the time Paige was dominating FPO. It...
I think that as the population of serious disc golfers gets bigger, the better the opportunities will be to earn a living outside of actual tournament revenue.
My non-disc golf sports passion is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the way the top competitors in that sport make a living is similar to what...
I think also think that DGPT finals should be in the list. Worlds, USDGC, and some European Open make sense to me for the first three. After that there are a lot of well-attended NTs that are pretty interchangeable. GBO, BSF, Masters Cup, Ledgestone, etc.
Sexton to me is the most technical player on tour. I think he has the most accurate forehand in the game of 400'+ FH throwers, works the disc equally well L to R and R to L, putts well, and has beautiful touch on approaches. I think if the tour played more truly wooded courses he would be on a...
You are misconstruing the context of my post. I said this as the discussion had turned to how far 1030 rate elite players throw. Look at the post I am responding to it is not a post about 1000 rated players.
I have made clear at this point how far i think you need to throw realistically to be...
I'm not sure where people get this impression but MJ has plenty of distance. You can watch the 2017 ledstone open coverage and see him park hole 5 (476') with a crank or in the circle left on the 500' 10th. Looking at the first three pages of names by rating on PDGA, i don't see anyone who...
Hard to say since I don't know but a handful of the people commenting, Mark has probably been rated the highest at one point having been 990+. I am 978
As one of the main people arguing against the short off the tee to 1000 crowd, i don't think that's what's happening at all or at least I'm not confused. When I say 400' minimum, that IS to be a local 1000 rated guy. Not an elite touring pro.
For 1030+ you have to be HUGE off the tee or be...
Not really, the OP says whats the magic number and then asks are there any 350 max d players. People in this thread are using 350 and 400 interchangeably and there is a BIG difference. I still see no evidence of a 350' max D player being 1000 rated. I concede that there may be some people...
As noted in previous posts, its not impossible it is extremely unlikely and the few examples are statistical outliers.
This has nothing to do with an some elitist view of distance or pride. It is a realistic representation of how difficult it is to achieve that rating without a certain power...
