I always felt the 2016 record felt.. dirty, there should be stipulations like I could throw it into a hurricane or a tornado and have the world record throw. The wind limit should be capped at 10-15mph. But that's just my take on it, my best throw was 445ft not 1200ft. 🤷🏼♂️

It really just comes down to release velocity. That’s the most important metric when you can’t control for disc choice, altitude, and prevailing wind. Wiggins can produce 85 MPH with a regulation-weight disc, which is faster than Simon has ever thrown. Yes, Simon there 89 MPH, but he did that with a super lightweight disc. As far as I’m concerned, Eagle is the absolute king of backhand speed. I personally recorded him throwing an 86 MPH roller with a 175G disc at the Beaver State Fling in 2019.

Some inaccuracies in this video in regards to the early, pre-beveled disc records: First, Victor Malafronte's record set at the 1974 Octad was broken about 5 minutes later by me with a C.P.I. Allstar he lent me (Thanks, Victor!). Second, the 290 foot record attributed to me was the indoor record set during the 1975 WFC at the Los Angeles Convention Center. A number of competitors including me hit the low ceiling which prevented greater distances from being achieved. Third, I held the distance record from the 1974 Octad until the fall of of 1978. During that span, I broke my own record becoming the first to throw over 400 feet tossing a 119 World Class Frisbee, 412 feet. In the fall of 1978, John Kirkland bested that with a throw of ~444 feet.
