2023 Worlds Distance Showcase Powered by NOCQUA Adventure Gear

[@TheGirmann]

I had the privilege of scoring Eliezra's card for a round at worlds. What an incredible asset to disc golf. Announced on the tee at hole one as "Sponsored by mom" and was her caddie. Power, finesse, and a great attitude. I hope nothing but the best for her.

[@fionawoo9894]

"Sponsored by mom" haha love this!!

[@stagecoachrobbery]

I'm excited for the future of FPO with her and that one girl from Oregon that pops up in my suggested KZbin videos who can crush 500. It will put some excitement in that field.

[@nolanfrank582]

I got to meet Eliezra at an event she is a very nice girl, with good family behind her. She gave me a disc out of her bag. Which was an unreleased disc at the time. She throws way further than I could ever throw. Can't wait to see what the future holds for her in disc golf.

[@mattembury215]

Well if that four hundred foot water clear at Winthrop she pulled off at hole five meant anything, she is definitely a future threat.

[@zachw4829]

Representing NJ! Im a big fan she crushes for sure. Bright future for her hope to see her get sponsored soon

[@Norsknurse]

AMEN.

[@detectablethickness]

i think eliezra is going to put folks on notice this season. have truly not seen another fpo player that moves a disc like she does. once her overall game rounds out a bit with age, watch out.

[@untrustworthyshelfing9953]

Insane how hard she was swinging. Can't wait to see what comes next for her.

[@DgSurfin]

Her throw immediately reminded me of Jacob Courtis (Cupcake)

@@nate7498what a weird comment

[@sliceofsparta8985]

AB ending the competition with a single throw was unreal

[@benjaminritzema4499]

Could Jomez or another disc golf channel do a distance challenge where the forehand and backhand is combined? 5 throws forehand, 5 throws backhand, add up the best forehand and the best backhand, and whoever has the most distance wins obviously. You guys have mentioned something of the sorts a couple times on broadcast and I think it would be pretty cool to watch. Just to see who has the beef in both. Love you guys

[@detectablethickness]

gimme aaron gossage in that contest

[@benjaminsnyder3845]

Just don’t want another Eagle McMahon situation😬

[@brandonodell5261]

Ab still wins that lol

[@AaronsTalks]

Firstly, thank you Jomez for uploading this event! Kevin's consistency says a lot! And we have seen him use that on the course :) Now... AB... An animal! And also prety darn straight! I can see this dude dominating Major's this year and years to come!

[@drizzt94]

Anyone else think OB in a distance comp is stupid?

[@stagecoachrobbery]

I think SOME OB is warranted, but it should be about twice as wide as what they are offering here.

[@Debbiebabe69]

Tight OBs are always a thing at distance competitions. When you watch club golf long drive tournaments, even the world champions usually hit half their balls OB the fences are so tight..

[@drudavismusic]

Agreed, so stupid. There is already a competition for accuracy called “disc golf.” I don’t even care if it hits a car. Biggest number should win.

[@cerberus1166]

no, i think not making everybody throw with techdiscs is stupid so they could measure total distance and that would eliminate the need for OB and give us crazy interesting stats

[@AydenSirum]

@@cerberus1166that is a really good idea because then they wouldn’t have to put all the spotters in the field

[@blueboy2727]

They need to widen the throwing area. Why wouldn't it be triangular, like Olympic throwing events? Too many great throws were lost. It takes the guts out of the event.

[@Sir_Leelord]

agreed, good idea

[@chand911]

Or accuracy is just as important as distance...

[@blueboy2727]

@@chand911 It's a pure distance competition. Accuracy is of no importance.

[@joeballz25]

@@chand911 its a distance comp not an accuracy comp

[@cerberus1166]

@@blueboy2727 technically its only a forward distance competition. if it was pure distance OB wouldnt matter, and they would measure left, right, and height distance traveled. but thats not possible unless everybody was forced to throw techdiscs (which i think they should)

[@joelcampbell7237]

I watched Eliezra (Via KZbin) play in one of the last pro womens tournaments at the end of the 2023. She hit an eagle where no other woman had hit before, only to be matched by Evelina Salonen in the next round. She is one to watch this year, definitely.

[@TheKungfujunkie]

Heidi Laines’s throw just looks effortless. So much fun to watch

[@bryanjenshak8180]

Hey lets make the distance competition into an accuracy competition! Great work here guys.

[@SarrenGames]

AB's hat says it all... It's incredible how well he stops his momentum and puts it all that energy into the disc (and hat).

[@thomasleary1807]

Yes, I was wondering if they were going to add the hat's distance to his throws!

[@_james.dg_]

Can’t wait to watch Eliezra bomb all season! Her form and power is insane! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ArmoryDiscGolf]

That FPO record of 569' is probably only a few years from being cracked. The talent is getting crazy

[@johnny_momo]

The drone shots are super cool, I’d love to see a full throw from behind the player to watch the full flight too!

[@cupbowlspoonforkknif]

Check out the distance competition from last year I think it was. Amazing drone angles. Watching a disc flip over in the air is something special.

[@esellers47]

Did anyone else see how Ella Hanson’s longest drive wasn’t actually 423 feet. Watch at 9:10 and you can see the disc is only about 5-6feet past the 400 marker on the field. Am I wrong or does anyone have any info on this?

[@beenschmokin]

The guy is holding the sign up over his head so they are measuring the C squared side of the triangle and not a straight line.

[@Leopard3_]

​@@beenschmokin idk what that means but I won't disagree

[@beenschmokin]

@@Leopard3_ a right triangle. A squared plus B squared equals C squared. The person holding the range finder at eye height is looking upwards to the sign over the guys head and not at the same level. This is a longer line than if he was holding it at face height. In this contest it won't matter if he does it for every throw for every person as it will stay equally wrong but the true distance is exaggerated.

[@Leopard3_]

@beenschmokin I graduated hs in '09 pal. Didn't need a whole trigonometry lesson

[@beenschmokin]

@@Leopard3_ never too old to learn. Class of '03 here brother. Scarecrow been trying to teach us that since 1939. Slingshots for everyone. Slingshot disc golf. Check out the professor and win the next long drive in your area

[@richarddingledy8619]

luv the distance showcase vids! livin' vicariously, with the shrieking drones hyping the action!

[@sethranney]

9:09 that was not 23' behind the 400' marker.

[@ivaruutar]

I hope we see Eliezra on Jomez feature card upcoming season for her to get a sponsor behind he back. She has so much potential.

[@untrustworthyshelfing9953]

Took me until Ezra to realize that the noise from the drone is in fact not a screeching spectator.

[@yeadogthazmyboi]

Please do away with the OB for distance competitions

[@timb9212]

Should definitely widen the ob on these distance comps.

[@qstar710]

AB is so fun to watch throw

[@cturpin7870]

First powerful drive I saw was playing as a beginner with a local player named Yogi. He hyzer flipped a x-clone for a near 300 foot drive.

[@antoniokehoe2363]

Very humbling to see a 16 year old girl smash a disc about 100ft farther than I ever could (and probably even further, that's just the one that stayed inbounds, who knows if that's even her best) Absolutely incredible!

[@PaulMarostica]

I invented a device I call a disc whip, for trying to fling a disc farther than I can throw it. I made 4 prototypes and tested them. It worked. I made a series of 6 videos about it and published them on KZbin. If you're interested, the 1st video is called "Disc Whip Invented By Paul Marostica Part 1".

[@onemileperhour]

I don't get why there's OB

[@JIMWESTDG]

I'd be interested to see what a tilt does for AB when he throws it as hard as he can 🤔😅. Can the Tilt stand up to his power?

[@Qpods]

Yes. Yes it can. That’s how insane the disc is

[@studioloraine]

@@Qpods😂

[@GStat7]

I like fun videos like these as well, but usually I only watch final rounds in tournaments these days. Watching Disc golf just doesnt excite me as much as it use to. Need more Mcbeth and Wysocki!

[@triple_five_soul6439]

They really need to expand the ob lines, that's so lame if u have any flip it's not going to count. Elliezra is going places fast like

[@tymonjames8577]

Well that was fun!

[@Ran-tan-tan]

That BigGerm ad around the halfway mark has some really weird sibilance. It's like the track eq and compression were just slapped with some general presets and the one doing it just went "that'll do".

[@boblandry7760]

Would be cool to get the which disc they are throwing and its weight each throw. Arm speed stat is very cool.

[@JosephThomasIV]

I want to see Simon and Eagle throw in comparison to AB

[@nochruto]

Gush Boys!

[@mortenlothe6893]

AB has higher speed than them, but angles are a huge factor in disc golf, something Eagle and Simon are insane good at;)@@nochruto

[@joeelmerick]

I think eagle wiggins and AB are at the very top in their own tier

[@centrcutninex295]

Eagle was there, he threw 510

[@adambrittain8106]

Ella’s 423 foot throw was about 6 feet behind the 400 marker….whats up with that???

[@Leopard3_]

I could've worn eliezra's throw passed hers by a couple feet

[@MusicalMethuselah]

Wow watch Elie plant and brace. Every bit of forward momentum goes into the disc. Got some things to work on my form to match that

[@chrmartube]

Ellas 423 drive was nowhere near 23 feet past the 400 foot sign???

[@DISCOVERSASQUATCH]

I would get rid of the ob..Distance, not accuracy.. OB kills some huge drives..

[@se7enine]

Why aren't they measuring to the disc? That's the distance that matters on the course.

[@BertoGGEZ]

that bob barker line was CRAZY

[@AdamtheRed-]

Fantastic coverage, but Jerm was right when he said it's a distance contest, not an accuracy contest. What's with the amature-hour OBs, guys? ;)

[@gxhost]

Par for the course with pro disc golf past few years. They love their OB zones.

[@scottlee9428]

They definitely need to widden the landing area. As Big Jerm put it "It's a distance contest, not an accuracy contest." I sucks when 70% of the throws don't count.

[@TG1980]

I would like to know type of disc and weight on every throw..

[@jasprice30]

Let’s Goooooo!

[@cosmolean]

It would be nice if you announced what disc they are throwing.

[@tobiaskaurel2560]

love this content, but why they dont use completely flat ground in these competitions every single time is something i wont understand

[@cordawg4597]

There is no level ground in that area, it’s on a mountain.

[@tlimanek]

There is also a good playground there where a pretty fun and challenging putting course is setup. It is a bummer though. Probably 8 feet in rise from the tee to where the discs land.

[@ericbeich]

This is just such a fun sport filled with awesome people. How lucky are we?

[@chriscarroll6447]

From a pure physics aspect, Jen would throw further if she tucked that left arm in. You can try it yourself, hold your elbows out and rotate at your waste. Now put your hands in your pockets and notice how much faster you rotate.

[@ZWOOKOVOZ]

AB, good job!

[@bunker1213]

I wish this showcase had not been uphill and not into a head-wind. A showcase sounds like an opportunity to show people at their best, not to make it more difficult for them. Still entertaining though.

[@derekbroekhoven5498]

I would've loved to see AB go for sidearm after a few monster backhands. See what he could do on both sides 😂

[@arr64lima63]

I liked it better when they measured to the front edge of the disc as it lies after coming to rest.

[@evanlosh7120]

NJ represent!

[@themetalcrusher]

The fact that AB went just over the wall and went longer than the record, then threw another one that stayed in bounds and went past the wall and was under 600' proves that this is inaccurate and whatever range finder they are using is also inaccurate.

[@alexanderrolfs6539]

u guys should see who can throw a crunchwrap supreme the farthest

[@aaronrohr2139]

Was the drone flying over the discs flying bothering anyone else? It definitely has some effect one the flight of the disc.

[@Sir_Leelord]

There needs to be a pure distance contest with no OB, that'd be epic

[@Chubbydippin]

Much like the game itself, manufacturers of all things disc golf related have exploded too. Discs, bags, carts, range finders, chalk sacks, apparel/shoes, "jerky", telescopic retrieval poles...the products seem endless. Which is a good thing. Because of that, why not let the viewers of this competition/segment know what discs, and weights, these competitors are throwing? I'd like to know what discs are being bombed so far. And wouldn't that be something the manufacturers of the discs thrown that won this competition be something they could market? The ol "Be like Mike" campaign but for discs instead. Buy this disc and "Be Like AB." Maybe they already do this with a limited stamped AB distance winning disc and I'm the idiot that doesn't know it?

[@stephenfrancais]

The drone has been cool in the past but the guy following these didn’t show the flight at all

[@Jimbo-hl9fe]

You need to consider the marketing aspect of this. Does Jomez already have a sponsorship deal with a certain disc manufacturer, and would they not want other discs being advertised? Also, I do not think jomez would like to give free marketing

[@Chubbydippin]

@@Jimbo-hl9fe Yeah, money and who is making it makes the world go round and what most decisions are based on for sure. Just would be nice to know what discs are flying that far. Kinda like in ball golf during a tournament when the announcers let the viewers know what club is being used prior to most shots.

[@JarrettWBass]

How far do rangefinders go? Nate with the banging commentary.

[@kieronmckay4276]

Can we just stop having "out of bounds" for distance competitions in general. Or at least like have some that aren't. I think that literally goes entirely against the "farthest throw" idea...anything that would go "out of bounds" generally speaking in these formats would be probably short anyways. Give me a big open space, farthest from the tee...simple.

Where the hell was Wiggins? As well as AB was throwing, that would've made for a sweet match. I think Wiggins would still beat AB, even though AB throws just as fast or maybe even faster.

[@Falascoa]

Top two should get two more throws

[@ryaneads7736]

Whether or not its true, that's pretty poor taste to 'congratulate' Ella only to say that she got lucky. Still, appreciate the commentary and the coverage. Very excited for 2024.

out of bounds in a distance competition is absurd. I'm honestly tired of these "distance" competitions.

The problem is that costs more money in labor lowering the PROFIT the coordinators make. pathetic
