    Anyone who argues with the list has not played with these guys enough time to judge correctly... That being said, In my opinion, will say Calvin and Dickerson should be swapped, AB is in world class, Clemons is 500+, and Colten is in the impressive category. For you Finnish guys, Seppo is in impressive category, Vaino is 550, and Oskari is world class. There is a few more that are on the 550 plus categories as well.

      I'll never forget meeting you for the 1st time at The Memorial circa 2014 or 2015 maybe. After the tourney you and Simon were throwing huge flex bombs. You had ALL the distance back then and in my opinion your lines were a touch cleaner than Simon's that afternoon. I was super impressed. I can't wait for you to win your 1st World Title. It's gonna happen.

      Calvin likely doesn't throw 600 feet. 600 feet of power requires speed in the high 70s, probably 77+ MPH. I've never seen Calvin throw faster than 73 MPH, which is right in line with his 525-550 distance, accounting for spin and trajectory.

    Philo will always be one of my favorites. I think it was my second time ever disc golfing, and he happened to be running an instructional camp at Oak Grove in Pasadena, CA. He let me hop in and taught me the basics from putting to driving. I've run into him several times over the years and he always remembers me, asks me how I'm doing and whatnot. Just an overall S-tier individual. That being said I've seen him crush some drives easily 500ft+ lol

    • @kevinm6885
      @kevinm6885 Рік тому +1

      But, agreed. I was gonna do some fieldwork with my cousin and saw Philo in 16' in Dayton, OH warming up with cones and asked him how far he could throw. Without pause, he said "I don't know, how's this?" and crushed a destroyer 542ft on flat ground, in a field, with virtually no breeze. I measured it, personally, using my cousins bushnell because it was the first time I'd ever seen anyone throw that far in person. He high-fived me after I took his advice and added about 40ft to my throw from a pullback. It also happened to land exactly in front of a bush and wouldn't be hard to re-measure from where he threw. With that being said, this list is whack af. I'd imagine most of the low tier guys could rip 500-550 and Philo, with a good wind, could crush it over 550ft. I learned the x-step, pull back, bracing, and power box.. maybe 60-70% of my form is what I'd consider solid. I can rip a Boss/Shryke 450ft with regularity and I'm not a guy who practices his form. It'd be hard to imagine a seasoned pro isn't throwing for over 500ft.

    This is an incredible and insightful video, and I think I can add some additional info. Unfortunately, most of the companies producing disc golf content aren't using radar guns in their coverage, so we can only get speed data from Central Coast Disc Golf. I'm quite familiar with CCDG speed readings from the last few years, and unsurprisingly, Simon's anecdotal rankings are extremely accurate. I'll give a breakdown here of the highest recorded speeds for the golfers I recognize here, based on my recollection.
    World Class: Drew 80 MPH, Garrett 80MPH, Simon 80 MPH, Eagle 81 MPH (86 MPH roller)
    Surprising: Jordan 66 MPH, Emerson 70 MPH, Mcbeth 76 MPH, Oakley 70 MPH
    Impressive: Barella 78 MPH, Gilbert 73 MPH
    550: Heimberg 73 MPH, Jones 73 MPH, Wysocki 76 MPH
    500: Conrad 72 MPH, Locastro 67 MPH
    475: Barsby 66 MPH
    450: Philo 64 MPH, Clemons 64 MPH
    As you can see, with some variance, release velocity is an excellent predictor of overall distance. Some golfers get extra distance through a higher spin component, which accounts for the crazy drives Mcbeth and Wysocki achieve with their slightly-slower speeds. I completely agree with Simon that Eagle is the fastest thrower in the game currently, his drive on hole 12 at the 2020 MVP Open in round one was likely the fastest backhand throw ever recorded on camera. On a hole where top power throwers struggle to reach the tree line, Eagle's drive hit the trees 25 feet up while still moving forward at between 45-50 MPH. I suspect that throw was 82-84 MPH.
    One of the biggest takeaways from this video is that it's possible to be a top tier disc golfer with a relatively modest tool set. Extra power is always useful, but it is not a prerequisite for being one of the best players in the sport. Thank you for putting this list together Simon, it was great listening to your thoughts!
    P.S. Sorry for being pedantic, but you should be saying "farther" when you're saying further. Farther is used to express physical distance, while further is used for relative measurement. "You couldn't be further away from the truth" vs "I throw the disc much farther than you do".
