The Inevitable 2018 Pros Switching Sponsors Thread

Anyone know big dudes who throw 450+ I'm 6' foot and 290.

I think this question has been asked on these forums before. Look up the disc golfer Jamie Mosier. He is a big guy who throws far.

Bit off topic but talking about athleticism do you think being "fluffy" affects distance. I'll keep it real, I'm fat, I've sort of accepted not being able to through far, I work on my form but just don't play enough and have no desires to be a tournament contender, so I stopped worrying about it. But theoretically gravity hits me like a bitch and I'm slow and less aerodynamic. Anyone know big dudes who throw 450+ I'm 6' foot and 290.

Yep, I know a couple.

and a super cool dude

also a lot of CCDG videos for Norcal events feature a number of locals on the beefier side

MVP members were not allowed to use streamline last year. I think this year they might?

Ccdg has Sias Elmore on a bit whos not your typical athlete. David Madruga also doest strike me as a little dude. Both seem to crush decent enough.

Brian Schweberger is a little taller at about 6 ft 5 in and has gotta be pushing 300 lbs. He can hang with the best of em, granted he was thin when he developed his game but weight shouldn't be prohibitive of learning proper technique.

If you're light on your feet for a big guy it's probably not that much of an impediment. If weight makes it difficult to feel weight transfer and bracing and all that than yeah, it doesn't help.

Exactly. I was looking for the vid where he crushes a drive and the video pans to a spectator mouthing "WHAT THE ****"

I witnessed that shot in person. Freaking incredible regardless of his size.

Wait, when did this turn into the big boys who throw MVP, but not overhand, thread?

You've got to start a new rumor to change the topic, thought you knew that opcorn:

I think it's safe to say that this thread has thoroughly ran its course...

He is not a pro disc golfer, but Steve Hill (onemilemore) is moving from Ultiworld to a new position as Media Director for the PDGA. Congrats Steve!

That's a good get for the PDGA. Congratulations Steve.

Bringing Pete from Disc Golf Scene on board a year or two ago was a good move too.

I like it!

 

[Halcón]

Congrats to Steve. :thmbup:

 

[Moose33]

That's great for him, in my limited work with him, he has been the consummate professional.

Great job Steve
