He used to hit all kinds of small tournaments then, remember him coming through Morganton back when they only had Bethel park and he was hitting 500 at 11/12 years old.
idk anything about disc golf, but I imagine whoever can generate the most power with their body, generally will throw the farthest. Wiggins is built like a pro baseball player, physically he is superior to most. It's wild that Tamm can do the same without the 360 and a body half the size.

I disagree. Ella Hansen's throws in the finals were nearly reaching 500 feet and the announcers had no idea. They couldn't tell if she was taking the lead or not. They need to give the casters a live view of where the discs are landing.
Didn't realize how much of a freaking monster Albert Tamm is. I say if he kept in bounds more he'd clean up shop. Then imagine what he could do with a solid 360 😮
If he learns a 360 he could give wiggins and simon a run for their world records I believe at 6'4-5 he prob has the most potential and hes only 24 still
@@shrapnel77 I think you're right, but those rating were more about golf distance... Not just pure distance. Big difference between throwing a 550ft golf shot and crushing a distance line on an open fairway. Both impressive, but context.

The amount of love and respect everyone has for one another is what makes this sport what it is. Nothing like watching competitors cheer for each other. Keep your courses clean. Respect✊
The first highlight is Ulibarri sitting there Indian style eating beef jerky in the background before the first competitor. The stache is looking clean too. Bombs away ladies and gentlemen, what a great competition with stellar coverage!
Thrilling, went by in seconds. Nothing better inn this world than smashing a drive and you hear your buddies go "uhuhuhuhuhhoooo God" and you're as high as you'll ever be
excitement! feelin' giddy - adrenaline rush! monster arms we all know and love. But that Wiggins is carved outta marble!! More distance events, please. McBeth, Eagle and and Simon come out and play!
Exciting competition format to watch. Some guys definitely surprised me throwing so far. Wind conditions made it even more exciting. Great shooting too from camera guys and drone driver
Nice coverage, thanks guys, nice work Nate. I particularly like how you stumbled in the first sentence on the name of the event and were like, no redos, let's roll with it. You did the rest flawlessly but it was funny because you could have restarted, it was like the 8th word.
@@squirrelydan3 Just saw a very interesting paper about a new type of rotor that is much quieter than a standard straight-bladed drone propeller. Combining both could hopefully preserve the experience for people on the course, and give the pros the opportunity to focus.
I feel like these are where the world record distances should be set. Not in 60mph tail winds in a flat desert. I mean 1108 is impressive but someone can just wait for bigger tailwinds and probably crush it now.
No. There were many big throwers there when David set the 1108'. No one got within 200' of him. First, you have to be able to throw incredibly high AND fast.
You'd need an even faster release velocity just to get the disc to go if you increase the wind speeds. Good luck to anyone trying to stand, hold a disc and try to achieve a 100 mph release velocity with an 80 mph tail wind.
Been disc golfing for decades. I got into FPV drones bc I wanted to chase discs. :pause: I’m so happy to see more people chasing sporting events to drastically improve broadcasts like these. 👏🏼
Hats of to Hammes, definitely punched above his weight class, shows how dedicated he is to his form. Albert Tamm, what can you say about that guy, casually bombing a 700+ drive on a tight fairway, the dude is a God among men lol. Purest athlete on tour. And he's got a bomb of a forehand too!
Out of every throw from each competitor (inbounds and o.b.) AB's shot that hit the trees on the right side of the fairway was by far the biggest drive. That would've pushed close to 800, AB will win this year.
I think it's cool that a bunch of the best FPO players showed up for this. Eveliina, Henna, Ella, and Holyn are all top 10 players in the world IMO, and it's cool to see them showing up for this and really going all out on distance.
Is this the only year of this completion available? I’ve been trying to find past years but can’t find any, even before covid. Loved it and really wanna see another!
Tamm is the biggest thrower. AB and Wiggins needed huge run ups with 360s and he still had the furtherest throw. And the arm speed with a normal walk up is insane. I'd love to see them eliminate the 360 to see pure distance.
A big, long, fast runup DECREASES distance, because your hips are moving forward at the time you need a deep rotation of your hips. A super slow runup is at least as effective.
Long arms and he was throwing Flippy plastic. He accelerates his core optimally too. Wiggins was wasting alot of energy, but if he catches the proper release plane his disc will sail.
Love the quality of coverage. Anyone else get a bit annoyed with the explanation of the wind "pushing" on the bottom of the disc? It's not a kite tied down to the ground. Drive a convertible at 70+ mph the road with a 15 mph tail cross and report back...
@@timegoblin. the amount of people that just WANT to believe Ella is trans is baffling. People like you are ♋️ . That believe all women have to be a certain way or that “it’s a man”. Watch the Highland Games. Those women would crush you.
I just don't see the additional benefit of doing a 360, you can see that the disc is more or less stationary when Wiggins starts the throwing motion, meaning that all angular momentum has left it.
Props to Wiggins for sure. While it's awesome to see him bomb distance, or McBeth make every 70 foot putt, or Simon throw Simon lines, I'm getting the sense there is going to be some incredible players of a new generation taking over in the next few years. When AB, Gannon, Antilla, Klein, Even Tamm is only 24) and a bunch of folks we've never heard of get a few more years of experience and grow all the way into their bodies, I think we're going to see a level of competition in the sport we've never seen before.
They were used interchangeably in the past...then a few grammar texts tried to clarify their usage. Today noted publications use them interchangeably again.
Its what any soaring pilot would call a thermic day. Look at those flat bottom clouds and listen to the descriptions of the variable wind. Thermals add lift and sink and lots of variability to the overall wind field. None of those in anyones control. Tough.
oh wow. So 350-400' is considered a far throw for the ladies, 500' being champ distances? Makes me feel pretty good about my newbie throws for sure. Good coverage, fun to watch.
I *DO* appreciate that the title of the video is "United States Distance Championship", and that you guys don't use (or like) metric units.

Seeing age 11 Wiggins throw farther than I ever have gave me a nice jolt of morning humility to start the day with
Absolutely, it kinda hurt me feelings,
He is special 🔥🔥🔥🔥✨💯
if i could just throw close to 400 consistently id be content lol
Comment of the day😂😂
He used to hit all kinds of small tournaments then, remember him coming through Morganton back when they only had Bethel park and he was hitting 500 at 11/12 years old.
Alber Tamm is just crazy. Others run and do all kind of funky stuff and Bazooka just comes up with 4 step run up and goes to distance LOL :D
Throwing 700+ is insane
six steps

Still not as bad as the horrendous cameras from 2010 that Jomez always uses.

Love these drone shots following the disc in flight. Awesome!!

I would like to see a combined backhand/forehand for the win.
Absolutely love the drone angle. It could make for some cool shots on tournament coverage, although who knows how the noise would go over.
Given how high stakes the game has become I doubt it will ever become a staple of top coverage, pros don't want the distraction
If the drone stays on the ground until after the disc is released, I think it would be fine.

There were spotters in the grid, marking the exact touchdown spot of each throw.
No clue why I just watched this. I've never played disc golf, and have golfed in general like 3 times in my life but this was entertaining somehow.
Connor, go to your local disc golf store and buy 2 or 3 discs (ask them for their suggestions) then go to a park and play. It is a lot of fun.
