The majority of the longest throws since Stokely's 656' throw in 1995 have been very wind assisted, in areas that often had 15-35 MPH winds to catch as well as other factors such as altitude, thermal updrafts, etc. In fact, the five longest throws of all time (820', 810', 761', 748', and 738') were all performed on the same day and 16 of the 18 longest throws of all time have all been performed at the same location. The first official 600'+ throw occurred in 1987 at 613'. The 700' barrier was not broken until 2001. In 14 years leading up to Voigt's throw of 712', the distance record had increased by about 80' (Stokely held the last distance record before Voigt at 693'). ---- ---- Ken Jarvis hielt 2002 kurzzeitig den Weltrekord, als er eine DX Teebird 247 m weit geworfen hatte. 45 Minuten später übertraf ihn Christian Sandström mit einer DX Valkyrie um drei Meter. http://www.discgolfstore.de/discs/discgolf/innova/dx-teebird ---- ---- Chris Max threw a Discraft XS over 700' in 2001. https://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3440842&postcount=30 ----
