Christian shattered the distance record April 26, 2002 at "Big D in the Desert". His record throw of 250 meters (820 feet) was made with a DX Valkyrie.
rehder said:the choice of disc also depends upon the conditions. The stronger the tailwind is, the harder it will be to keep a highspeed driver at cruisingspeed. You want the disc to hold the turn as long as possible before fading forward.
New Danish record (182 meters) was set last weekend by KJ in pretty poor conditions with little wind, with a 171 DX Valk.

I think he's thrown a destroyer, but not a lot of the faster stuff. He's talked about trying some of it.
Donkeypuncher said:Don't even bother trying to throw the record discs for distance. The distance competition really has no bearing on playing DG on the course. Not only do we not have the ability to throw like that, accuracy is of no importance when these guys throw that far.
