A great shot is when you try it, a good shot is when you don't have the guts to pull it off.

Re: Max Distance Discs
How does the distance competition work? Do you have to throw both directions headwind/ tailwind? Can you change discs? Best of how many throws?
I'd say the best disc depends on the wind direction / speed. Optimal wind would be maybe 20mph from 7 o'clock. Lighter, flippier discs would be much harder to control, but would potentially go farther. Sounds like the R-pro boss, while maybe not the greatest for golf shots, could be ideal for distance.
If you only get so many throws, you might throw a disc that is more dependable. I guess it depends on how tough your competition is. Wiggins would be tough to beat. Regardless of what you choose, flippy plastic thrown on a big anny (with a wind assist) will fly farther than the typical low straight shots thrown with more stable plastic.

I have tried the r-pro and when I crank one up even with a lot of hyzer it will flip and not come back.

If I remember correctly, Wiggins Jr. threw a 165ish champ boss when he went 700+ in the desert.... With your CANNON Zach, I have no idea. Maybe a lighter champ max turned over or a Pink Z Force....
Throw some D's on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a good thing you are playing golf, not distance!

Re: Max Distance Discs
I'm throwing champion wraiths and lighter weight esp surges for distance - but then again I can only hit ~475 when I'm throwing in a field with no strings attatched
Distance at worlds you get 6 throws I believe and you have about a 300 foot fairway the discs must land in in order to count. I remember watching Cory Sharp bomb some discs that didnt even count because they barely missed the field and he finally got one in bounds for about 525

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Re: Max Distance Discs
Well i ended up throwing 546 ft. with a yellow 169 pro destroyer and it happened to be my first of 5 throws. Not sure how i fared but will find out tomorrow
