Matty-O’s crusher in the woods is easily the best shot in this video.

[@PheelTheJoy]

And it's not even close! 🤣 I guess that's why they saved it for last, played it twice, and gave it about 5 times more screen time than any of the others. What a crush.

[@christopherwilson2606]

Practically the perfect shot.

[@pbgamble]

Yeah, shot of the year 🤘👽

[@bennettmontgomery7519]

Tartar sauce with the grace

[@andershaugen4738]

Matty’O ❤

[@king812345678]

My favorite part about this video is that it really highlights how low the video resolution is on most dgpt coverage

[@Traubenjaeger]

This! 👍

[@revenrasker]

This! 👍

[@Chumlee_Productions]

whats dgpt

[@andyklaasmeyer818]

Nah. It highlights how good the players are and how comprehensive their coverage is. I for one enjoyed the video. Thanks DGN!!!

[@kingdavey90]

I was like, oh, KZbin must've defaulted me to 480p or 720p, let me up it to 1080 so I can see the disc clearly. Nope! Bummer.

[@HaikesXO]

5:33 anyone who’s played northwood black can appreciate ABs shots here. Absolutely crazy to be in the tunnel after 2 shots

[@evanpfeifer3875]

I watched James Conrad do it at worlds when they played the gold layout. Never seen the hole played better

[@LordoftheEagles]

Yea isnt a bogey a good feeling normally there?

[@HaikesXO]

@@LordoftheEagles It feels like a good par.

[@maxenglish5106]

This shot is so pristine, has to start it on hyzer because of where his lie is, so he just hits it hard enough to get around the first tree on hyzer then stand it up and follow the shape of the fairway. I watched it like five times

[@cdawg9320]

Matty O's had to be best. To do it on a tight wooded hole and scare the basket with a skip? unreal

[@10centsproductions]

Catch cam getting turned around compilation 😆

[@Duecegod101]

itd be sick if you showed the distance numbers for each one

[@jonkauf4812]

Joel and Barela's shots at the Bailey, CO course are ABSOLUTELY ABSURD!!!! Having played that course, knowing the in person perspective of those BOMBS makes me nearly poop my pants

[@thewrongperson676]

Wow, there are some gorgeous drives in that compilation. Holy molly!

[@hattymuang5825]

Man, this Anthony Barela guy can sure throw.

[@oftankoftan]

4:55 that shuffle doe 😂😂

[@marshallgoff]

Pretty sure that's Ella Hansen's mom.

[@danlangis1594]

The “Jesus…” after AB throws at 3:16. So perfect.

[@seanh2772]

When you are standing near AB when he throws like that the sound it makes is just astounding. He has a cannon for an arm.

[@mattlance4272]

The think that I find most telling on this video is that this is a distance shot video and you saw Paul, Simon and Gibson only once. If that doesn't tell you the capabilities of the younger generation nothing will.

[@antiwhatever5391]

this was such a lackluster video for big drives....

[@davidc6032]

GG throwing into the next group looks so cool.

[@henrymanahan2764]

5:31 best shot

[@HaikesXO]

Really is. To be there after 2 shots is mind boggling. I’ve played here twice and youre lucky to be at 4 or 5 going into that tunnel

[@henrymanahan2764]

@@HaikesXO just to get across the bridge and ditch in two shots is a gold star

[@dhyde7723]

in almost every shot, there is someone surprised as the disc lands by them. Often looking at their phone!

[@mylesolson4734]

no doubt, they should be roped off so they arent walking right in the middle of the fairway lol

[@stevenjones253]

One thing in common, gallery needs to be more regulated.

[@backyardstrummer3856]

Heimberg for the win! Remember that was to try to ice Mcbeth, so the fact he had that next level shot was insane. Ice in those veins!

[@lukejanofski4233]

double g also crushed one on the same hole as AB at usdgc

[@landonwebb886]

The gallery needs to get outta there, I also don’t understand how the video coverage is so bad

[@jaccob73]

because it is LIVE coverage literally IN THE WOODS/PARKS.I dont know about you but in forests in my country there is definitely not enough internet speed to live stream this to the whole world. If you think it can easily be done better see how GK PRO Big Money Skins played out.

[@antiwhatever5391]

@@jaccob73 PGA seems to be doing okay.

[@jaccob73]

@@antiwhatever5391 are you really comparing it to the sport that has literally tens of millions dollars for productions? Pdga Worlds 1st place payout was what? About $30k? Pga championship 1st place was $1,36 MILLION. So yeah, if you want better live coverage production, pour substantial amount of money into it. Because DGN definitely doesn't have it yet.

[@Qpods]

Cole visibly launches the disc through the power pocket. Thing just about teleports out of his hand and he’s just walking up

[@careyjohnson769]

adrenaline rush shots!!!

[@spoonraker]

Perfect music choice for this compilation.

[@killabeez321]

What this video really shows is how little importance huge drives are to winning tournaments....

[@lfish21.]

Only thing this video for sure proves is that DGPT needs to do better with galleries. Get people out of fairways.

[@leanin2it]

💯

[@ericschoor9479]

Saved the best for last

[@bcp5296d]

that tartar sauce

[@kennykwong1028]

These would be so much better if the DGPT spent money on editing it. Like it shouldn't be that much to pay someone to do the simple edits of distance and tracing the trajectory.

[@Enemiesexposed]

Im 49, 5' 9", and 185 lbs. I have weak little arms. I throw mostly fh/ bh hyzers. Which disc will fly furthest for me?

[@joshuaconley6813]

Probably want to start with something easy like the Innova leopard and take it from there

[@milkshooks]

If you wanna get max distance with just hyzer and have lower arm speed, start out with most fairway drivers. But if you really wanna get more distance I’d think start trying to turn the disc over by going a little more anhyzer on your release.

[@millertimeast]

I don’t get how some of these guys throw 600ft + and don’t even use perfect form like mcbeth and Gibson, like cole redalin throwing 700 ft bombs and I throw similar style to him and I only throw 350 to 400 max

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

If McBeth had the perfect form as you say he would be bombing 180-200m shots but it doesn't seem to be on his repertoire compared to AB, Albert and Eagle. And as far as most coaches are concerned the perfect form hasn't been found yet but they know that depending on your body type and background certain things like accuracy, spin rate, consistency or distance would be easier for you compared to someone else. Mobility, flexibility and stability also impact people more than some think.

[@Steven-bh2be]

Switching to catch cam mid flight makes it so the viewer has no idea how far the disc is actually going

[@theisottosen8934]

What is the prize-money and sponsorship money like in disc throwing?

[@justwondering1926]

Players are making anywhere from 30k to 1 million a year in sponsorship. Prize for winning a tournament is between 5 and 30k with payouts going to usually 40% of the field.

[@josephchess2624]

Does anyone know what Disc Matt Orum is throwing?

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

The one he is used in that downhill wooded eagle park job was a (beat-up) Rive.

[@joeyciacchella5975]

You forgot Garrett Gurthie drive at USDGC

[@Chubbydippin]

Insane to see the pairing of power and accuracy on some of these bombs. With so much $$ on the line in some of these big events, how is the gallery, not the players ahead, allowed to be potentially in the way? Are cards behind supposed to self govern when they throw? Who's actually responsible for the gallery ahead Not being in harm's way?

[@derekbroekhoven5498]

It's generally a mix of the card behind and the DGPT staff. They do put a lot of effort into crowd control (shoutout to Bill), and are generally very good at it. It's their job to get people out of the way, but also, it's the players job to know how far they can throw and keep safety of fans/other players in mind

[@antiwhatever5391]

@@derekbroekhoven5498 it is NOT the players responsibility to keep the fans safe. The DGPT needs to step up and do more. The players should not have to worry if they get the clear to throw thats all they should be worrying about. I hate the constant excuses for DGPT. They need to be doing more.

[@daynonweaver292]

I've thrown for 2 summers and can't get past 300 feet. How do they have such power getting in those discs? I stand still, form up, figure angle, wind, release point, adjust accordingly and STILL can't get results like this on a 400'-500' course!

[@wildcat31772]

probably because you've played for 2 summers and many in this video have been playing since they were kids.

[@daynonweaver292]

@@wildcat31772 That's difficult to believe.

[@wildcat31772]

@@daynonweaver292 well the upside about knowing that most of them have played since they were kids is that it doesn't really matter if you believe it or not.

[@daynonweaver292]

@@wildcat31772 That is not advice. And I don't want practice. I want prodigy. Success without trying. Analysis without any miscalculation. Conclusions with no more questions. That's what the world is asking for. Not, "it doesn't matter."

[@wildcat31772]

@@daynonweaver292 sadly no one cares what you want. These guys throw effortlessly because they have played since they were kids and have thousands of hours throwing. Period. there are resources out there that help teach all over youtube. All the things you listed in the OP i haven't even heard of: form up, figure angle, blah blah blah. It's literally practice. 'i want to hit a homerun but dont want to practice hitting' lol

[@marlcoore]

Music is killing me. Had to watch on mute and then I realized the quality of the video was also killing me.

[@LukeJH11]

Heimburg playoff drive vs McBeth was best of the entire year and didn't even make the list

[@christopherwilson2606]

I can do that.. no I can't.

[@jayluuphee6703]

can we talk about jennifer allens front leg when she throws? what the f is going on with that? lol why is it straight before she evens steps.

[@troycross2858]

I would say more than likely mobility issues. How she is throwing is close to or the best she can do without putting her body in compromising positions that could harm her. Women also have boobs so that can make a difference in form as well.

[@wildcat31772]

it's how she's always thrown, it doesnt' need to be bent since the idea is to brace against it anyway. So it being straight just starts it out as a brace while she loads the rest to shift into it.

[@pbgamble]

Whatever works for her, she has the distance record 🤘🦅

[@Gottightt]

noll to noll great shot by joel

[@mawage666]

I love walking into pro shops and be like, "I'm looking for the farthest flying disc". Of course I'm joking. But for my arm speed the disc that I personally can get to go the farthest is my Pro Shryke. A close 2nd is my Sheriff.

[@waynebryant1857]

How is this about you?

[@SomeHobo7]

“What if we found the most annoying song ever to put as background music”

[@DrMack9696]

I have to say, the highlight for me was not the men chucking the disc 500 ft... it's the finesse the women can put on that disc! It's like it's remote controlled! It's so beautiful to watch.

[@samuelwalker-matthews8634]

Great video I hope they keep things real next year don't want to see anyone discouraged from playing. Make new classes dont mix classes set a good standard. Every player should be okay with those terms.

So much of the sport is about skill not power. Touch and angle to achieve distance is still very impressive
