Albert Tamm is seriously underrated in this list imo. He throws 700ft from a smooth walk-up with a lowish hyzer flip. Also he was the first in Udisc Precise Power Index stat for a while. Even AB said in a podcast that he is not sure if he can out-drive guys like Tamm. Albert is not in the picture alot so i get why people might overlook him in these discussions tho.
Great vid! Some players like Kristian Kuoksa or Oskari Vikström could have made the list, though. They both throw well over 200 meters (650 ft). Maybe I'm just saying that because I'm Finnish. :)
@@Aitoooo well i think so as well, but he is very consistent at throwing far. Maybe he just missed the last bit to get to the 200 mark. I remember hin saying his record is 198, but it might be old info as well.
There's no way Kristian Kuoksa is not on this list. You probably haven't heard about him before, otherwise he would have made the list. You should definitely check the guy out, he has some crazy distance.
If you would include on course distance accuracy as a factor aswell I would rank Simon and Eagle at one and two (in whatever order really)and add Calvin in the top 7. But this did seem pretty accurate to me!
So glad to see DWJ at the #1 spot. There are many now I feel (glad at the growth of the sport) who were not around when Terry Miller and Marty McFlySoHigh were the exclusive meaningful disc golf content available. DWJ is the Ken Climo of distance.
That 700 ft park job from Eagle is one my top 5 greatest shots. Paul this year at Throw Down the Mountain had a 600ft park job on round 2 hole 11 (I think that's the round and hole). A couple years back Simon parked hole 18 out there but it was so crazy that you don't get to see the flight. I like the shots that are filmed and you see full flights to make my greatest shot list.
Seriously that park job was longer than Albert’s throws at the distance comp….instead it was actually in competition and parked. That’s so much more impressive…and further
Absolutely wonderful content man, keep up the good work and you'll be your own version of jomez someday soon. You can tell the care you put in, don't forget it's quality not quantity
There's no way you can put Eagle above Simon if you're talking about distance accolades. This is my list.... - Wiggins - Lizotte - Barela - Eagle - Gurthie - Tamm - Gibson - Gilbert - Aderhold - Heimberg Kristian Kuoksa could be up here too, but it's hard to compare him without being able to compare him on courses the other pros are playing.
Everyone who is saying where is kristian this video is based on usdcg distance competition and official stats kuoksas best throw there was like 150m yes he can throw further than that for sure but his official record is 150m/Kaikki suomalaiset jotka täällä huutelee missä kuoksa niin se ei ole heittänyt virallisesti sitä tulosta ja tämä video käsittelee virallisia tuloksia
The list i'd like to see is best distance in competition, that means distance with accuracy. One also needs to factor in when someone is trying to throw it far, vesus an easy 450ft hyzer to an easy 200ft approach. From all the jomez i've been watching these last 6 months, when they try to throw with force Simon/Eagle/Anthony are the farthest with accuracy.
Simon at 4th is crazy. With his current dialed back play, its easy to forget how far this guy can rip. Some of his tournaments shots from 2014-2016 are absolutely bonkers. Eagle and Gurthie (and others to lesser extent) are absolute bombers both in distance shots and golf shots, but young Simon put pretty much everything you see out there today to shame. Just bonkers. Just look at the old LVC, GBO, Memorial, Vibram, etc. The duds is absolutely nuts.
Big mistake not having Calvin on this list. He won the distance competition at All Stars last year and nobody throws further on a golf line. Check his shot on 18 last year at Jonesboro. (Fun video though, thanks!)
I think Ricky has him on golf lines, definitely close and depends on the day though. Ricky bombs and you can just tell out of the hand the disc is flying, similar to Calvin.
For me, Gibson is by far the most skilled and impressive distance thrower. That doesn't mean he throws the furthest, but he throws SUUUPER far with absurd accuracy, and I think it's because he's doing it with understable lightweight discs. He's the opposite of Barela, in that way. No doubt, Wiggins is the furthest thrower though.
Like so many others have said you missed Kristian Kuoksa. He throws 700ft with golf lines. He can throw close to 800ft with distance lines and doesn't use crazy run ups or 360's
I’d have to disagree based on present day capabilities. I’d say Wiggins,barela, gg, drew, hammes For your top 5, 3 years ago you could put Simon and eagle in top three. Eagle at 6 spot for sure though. Then Simon and then Adam, Ezra and Gilbert grape🤣.
Nothing against Eagle, he's one of my favorites. However Simon should 💯 percent be before Eagle. I know eagle has longer backhand but Simons definitely doesn't fall to short from Eagles. Now Simons backhand rips apart most people's and I'm pretty sure his backhand is good enough to trump the who has a better forehand?
Simon should be number 2 behind wiggins jr due to him having the 2nd farthest throw in the world at over 1000ft and him having parked 800ft holes that are in between cliffs in a valley so the valley drop would generally slow down and pull disc's doen
Nailed top 3 although I believe eagle is number 2 if hed have done long distance competitions in past I truly believe he would've beaten gurthie man absolutely crushes and with accuracy,
I can agree with Wiggins here. He has done well in distance competitions so he qualifies for this placing 100%. Just the throw into a tornado wouldn't do it.
Watching many of these distance throwers.. not many are great at the overall game though. Very inconsistent. I watched Ezra this year , he was rather 'meh' with a few highlights.
Idk if you saw my last comment about videos consistently not loading/playing up to a point and needing to fast forward significantly to allow video-play. But if you did, this video worked, though in a curious manner. It would load up to a point, to where the video would stop playing and stall, but this time, though the video hit a snag, it would indeed carry on playing. Again, Idk if you made a change based on my comment and its one like, but whatever whatever, it worked this time and I am glad to watch your content now.
You have to win an event to be considered the best. Or one of them. Throwing in a field with out competition doesn’t count. Lots of guys can shoot a basketball, but not many can make them in a game.
First off, it should be golf lines. Nobody cares about throwing it as far as you can in a desert when it doesn’t matter where you land. I’m a 1000 rated pro and have played with some of these guys. Here’s my top 10 1-David Wiggins 2-Eagle McMahon 3-Anthony Barela 4-Alex Geisinger 5-Kade Filimoehala 6-Simon Lizotte 7-Albert Tamm 8-Garrett Gurthie 9-Albert Tamm 10- Drew Gibson (6-10 is a toss up) Honorable mention Ezra Aderhold Calvin Heimburg Thomas Gilbert I will say Alex Geisinger doesn’t tour anymore, and Kade isn’t on lead card much. But those two are legit. I’ve seen Alex make McBeth and Drew Gibson look like amateurs in regards to distance. And I’ve seen Kade bombing past Simon and Albert Tamm in worlds coverage.
Today I would be very surprised to see Simon as a contender in a distance competition. Even he will readily admit he cannot throw as far as he used to nor does he even try. Age, injuries etc... distance simply isn't his game anymore.
It is kind of interesting that the best distance thrower is also the worst player on this list by far. All of Wiggins' biggest wins were before he went pro. He's won Amateur Worlds 5 times, but then since going pro zero A tiers and no wins at all since 2013. Besides his 2022 10th place finish at Throw Down the Mountain, I had to go back to his 2015 9th place finish at Vibram Open (what's now MVP Open at Maple Hill) to find a top 10 finish at an A-tier or higher at all. No shade to him at all since he's literally one of the best huckers of all time, but he definitely is an odd one out.
no one mentioning the advantage to distance throwing down hill. Some of these guys understand that advantage clearly as well as climate induced air streams ect - like throwing over trees can give the disc a float like nowhere else.
Don't get the 360 throw. It looks cool yes. But it seems as though the body rotation and tork are rarely timed with the release. Most of the times I see someone trying this, it's almost like the throwing arm pull back starts just "after" the body rotation stops.
Well pretty strange list you have here.. top throwers missing. Kristian Kuoksa should be either nr1 or 2 and then there is this strange thing that where is Calvin ? At the allstars when Calvin had a change to rip distance he throwed further than Simon..
bro really seems to hate finnish people, there is couple of finnish players that crush the disc over 660 feet, and there is one called kristian kuoksa who throws it consistently with max distance of 238m or 780 foot.
Yeah, I have also seen when Kuoksa throwed 155m(506ft) standstill backhand throw at Pikkarala Pro course and it was a golf line. lol Edit. I actually find that video where he throws that 155m standstill. Hole18, at the end of the video ua-cam.com/video/1egz8nRG_gU/v-deo.html

100% agree thats the 1st thing I was thinking is how is he not top 3
There's this finnish player, Kristian Kuoksa. He's thrown several 700ft shots, He absolutely launches off his plantfoot
Pisin heittohan sillä taitaa olla se 238m, en tiedä sit mitä se on jalkoina.
@@ErnoAlias like 800 feet
Yes I would argue that Kristian Kuoksa is the farthest thrower. Hitting almost 800 feet with no 360
@@zaccrenshaw5291 is there video of this and was it with or without wind?
No way you miss the world best thrower. Kristian definitly beat all of them regarding distance.
Calvin should be at 10 instead of Gilbert, I don’t see Thomas throwing 550 with the disc hovering 5 feet off the ground
agreed Calvin has elite distant power especially under pressure
Tough to say Gilbert doesn't belong he crushes and is underated on this list imo

Yep, and that was normal backhand throw, not 360
Is there a video of that out there? I’d love to see! Kristian can throw effortless 200m with golf lines, that’s mental.
@@joonaskuusisto2767 ua-cam.com/video/_TFjMT9UKM8/v-deo.html

Facts
There's no way you can put Eagle above Simon if you're talking about distance accolades. This is my list....
- Wiggins
- Lizotte
- Barela
- Eagle
- Gurthie
- Tamm
- Gibson
- Gilbert
- Aderhold
- Heimberg
Kristian Kuoksa could be up here too, but it's hard to compare him without being able to compare him on courses the other pros are playing.
Two players I don't understand how they didn't make the list: Cole Redalen and Kristian Kuoksa.

Nice list, can't really argue with it but I would love to see a list with the best drivers in discgolf rather raw distance.
agreed distance without DG courses and the sport as a whole isn't as dynamic or interesting in my mind.
Every time AB pulls out a driver I’m expecting it to go into orbit even on hyzers. It’s him or Eagle 1/2.
The names u left out and Adam hammes in there 😂😂😂

After watching the OTB open, Drew Gibson is being underrated. He's got a cannon
There isn’t a single player on tour that throws further than AB. David Wiggins has him beat though.
Eagle
Simon and eagle should be flipped but good list overall
Agreed 👍
For sure man!
Agreed. Same thing with GG and Drew.
No offense, but I wouldn't put DoubleG in 2nd. And Barela should be higher up!
Eagerly waiting for Kuoksa to participate on us pro tour and show his prowess
Great list. Only a couple things I might change. Kristian Kuoska should be on there and Tamm could probably be a little higher.
Idk how Calvin falls outside the top 10 distance guys. He’s elite all around but easily a top 10 guy when you’re on the course and need a big throw
I think Ricky Wysocki could be on this list. It took me a while to realize just how powerful Ricky really is.
Simon at 4th is crazy. With his current dialed back play, its easy to forget how far this guy can rip. Some of his tournaments shots from 2014-2016 are absolutely bonkers.

Kristian Kuoksa top 3 for sure!
Hmmm... the top two on your list both have a unique form... take from that what you will.
I had the same top 4 only cause I forgot about ab but would argue that Albert and ab are in the same boat
GG over simon and eagle is rly bold considering Simon had the world record and GG couldn't break 75 mph at the USDGC distance comp last year
AB is #1
I’d have to disagree based on present day capabilities. I’d say Wiggins,barela, gg, drew, hammes For your top 5, 3 years ago you could put Simon and eagle in top three. Eagle at 6 spot for sure though. Then Simon and then Adam, Ezra and Gilbert grape🤣.
We’ve also seen the best UA-cam channel and that would be sir RM frisbees

Was Eagle's forehand longer than backhand??
I feel like most of the pros would have Barela in the top 2 at least if not 1. Every time I hear them talk about it his name is brought up.
Great video, Thanks!
It’s funny how every pro says AB is the furthest thrower on tour and you put him at 5. I know Wiggins throws further, but AB has to be top 3
