[Question] Hypothetical straight flying disc question

I think FD, hopefully get 300+ before it hits something although it'd probably take a ton of tries. So hard to visualize throwing down a 12' pipe vs. a 12' square hallway, I bet it's way harder than I imagine. For a FH I'd probably go PD...a disc I don't even bag.

Innova isn't selling beat Rocs yet? What kind of business are they if they aren't providing the product that their customers want most? :p



How about this: Innova buys some sort of a tumber and fills it with crushed rocks. Then throws Rocs into it, and gives it a spin for a bit. They could sell Rocs that are beat in to various degrees - for a cost.
 
Gee, 72 degrees F, huh?

If it were 80 degrees, then I would say a 145 ish gm Star Destroyer, but everyone knows that 72 degrees is just a bit too chilly for Destroyer max distance. :p


So, I'll go with a Kastaplast K1 Glow Falk. That way, at I can see it.
 
Assuming I got multiple throws - I would start off with a Champion Sidewinder. Once I got a decent throw with that I would change to a Pro Wraith. Hyzer flips FTW.

Or if could only throw one disc I would grab a lighter weight Star Teebird.

I would bet that the longest disc would be a driver, too hard to really good distance on a putter or mid with only 12' of ceiling. If I got a few throws I am pretty sure I could clear 300' of distance. If everything went right I could even see getting something out to 350'. After that I don't know if I could keep the disc low and straight enough. It wouldn't surprise me to people go past 400'.
 
I won't win because I don't have the arm but I would give it a go with a VIP Warship
 
I'd throw a lightweight low PLH Cannon. I can hyzerflip them no more than 10' off the ground with ease...all you Comet and Roc chumps aren't breaking 350' under a 12 foot ceiling.
 
If I had exactly one throw, X Comet.

If I had multiple tries, I could get a Champ Tern pretty far.

If you can keep something like a Cannon within a 12 foot wide gap for more than 350, more power to you. I've seen very few players who could do that reliably with a high speed driver even at the pro level. It's something McBeth is good at, which is how he got the eagle on Blue Lake hole 17 2 rounds in a row during 2014 Worlds when I don't know of any other player who's ever even done that. I've only thrown one Cannon, but that thing needed room to work even on a hyzer flip.

I'd pick something like a beat Roc because I know I could reliably keep it straight side-to-side for at least 250 even with only a 12 foot ceiling, which is better than I could do reliably with most drivers, especially high speed stuff. If I were picking a driver, the best I've ever had for that dead straight line was a 165 Echostar Teebird. Mine is a little beat now, but I could probably still hyzer flip it for a nice straight line. Even there though, I don't trust it to hold straight quite as much as I do a Roc.
 
I think the only disc that I've thrown that didn't need at least a bit of seasoning when new to get a dead straight throw I could control side to side and keep low and minimal fade is a River.
 
Relay for sure. It's the disc I've thrown the longest on a frozen rope.
