Does anyone know if big jerm flicked that far or was it backhand?

No way. It was a backhand.

 

[dmbrun2]

I thought so. 700 ft flick would be redic.

I dont think i was side arm im suprised noone has a video of world distance?? Weird huh.... Ive been trying to get the lowdown at the moment it seems it was a X nuke max weight forehand 693 is CRAZY! Wish i would have watched instead of looking thru bunk plastic to find a gem which i didnt.

Charging to watch is further limiting an already limited audience. Bad move IMO.

Good call. I won't be paying them. PDGA already nickel and dime you as it is.

HUH was it back hand?

 

[Plankeye]

yeah it was backhand. Big Jerm told me one time during a tournament that he throws backhand for max distance contests.

Regular or side arm seems less confusing lol

Its more like they interview with him after he won.

 

[New013]

eh... didn't miss much.

 

[BirdmanCR]

I still cannot believe they didnt cover the distance comp. Seem like it would have been more interesting than putting...Unno tho

It's a lot easier to get good shots of putting than good shots of distance driving.

 

[BirdmanCR]

Thats what i figured.

 

[bee_ryce]

Curious what the conditions were like for the distance, was it downwind? downhill? the distances seem even bigger than usual.

Slight downhill with a light tailwind.

 

[New013]

Distance results :

there is also a skill shot event, i dont even know what that is ^^

Charging for the stream is a realy bad move imo. I have not once seen a broadcast that went without problems, huge commercial breaks and reruns of prerecorded material while they get their stuff together. Not something I think many people will pay for.

PDGA site does not have software to create a sort by distance chart? What is the reasoning behind how that list is displayed?

*Nevermind; I guess it's division orientated*
