- I'd like to thank my Sponsor Dynamic Discs for all the support they give me! If you guys are interested in the discs I throw, head over to Dyanmicdiscs.com and use My monthly code MOLT921 at checkout for a discount!
Today we are throwing some disc golf discs out in the field to see how far i can throw different molds. We throw putters, then midranges, then fairway drivers then distance drivers. Let me know if you can throw farther (you probably can haha). I love disc golf and know many of you do as well!

I’ve been having pretty much the same results, I think at this point it may have to do with Angle control with the faster distance drivers. I have very similar distances to you and pretty much throw 9-10 speeds for distance, I can get more out of a 12 speed but that’s only if I hit the angle just right . At this point the 9-10 speeds just offer more consistency.
Yea I am going to work on my angles and form during the off season. I’m excited to see how I grow!
Yes me too Mathew however like anhyzer flip I need the faster disc to pull off that shot don’t know why just me lol
@@twistr2327 Anhyzer would be a turn over unless you meant hyzerflip turnover would make sense needing or wanting a faster disc because it will hold a more severe line and still come out of it. Hyzer flip would be harder to do with a faster disc because you would need to put the speed on it to get it to get it to pop up to flat.
Don’t know how I missed this one but keep pumping out the great content! My putters go as far as my fairways 😂 basically the same as golf for me where my 7 iron goes as far as my driver (when I hit the correct lines I aim for)
I've been wondering this same thing as of late - great timing!
He’s making us great content while also preparing for a serious tournament… shout out to you molt
And daily clash videos like he works so hard and I declare appreciation
no way this is the old clash of clans guy
You should try a moonshine ballista for a distance driver. They are slightly stable out of the box, but once they are beat in they go FAR! I bet you could get 450 or more out of one
Great vid
Great video! I think as a beginner this question is one that may never enter into my head. I feel like I can't throw anything over a Fairway Driver(10 speed) so working on getting discs with super high glide ratings and seeing how that affects my throws(I'd say my arm speed without wrecking my shoulder or injuring my elbow is around an 8 or under). I can get at best around 200ish feet on my backhand Innova Leopard then I found a Innova Beast and can get that around 225 on a good form forehand(this is rare for me since I am not well practiced on my forehand shots and struggle for consistency when I'm trying to overthrow for distance). Would love to see you do some single disc videos where you nuance a particular disc on a familiar course and go out and demo different throws given the same disc for a round for all shots. If you have some new sponsor provided discs maybe showcasing shot setups for that particular disc rating too. Keep up the great content - loving your vids from your Clash Royale side and ventured over to this channel a while back and took up disc golf about 6 months ago. Miss your vlogs with your wife too, but I get that life happens and also privacy esp with kids involved too.
How is it going now? I started playing last year and I was in about the same place after 6 months, with the Leopard. What are you throwing now? Do you still throw the Leopard, and how are your throws with it now? I went from hardly throwing it because I saw it as a beginner disc, and it was "low speed," to going back to it around 9 months in and having way, way more distance with it, and loving it.
@@cnking27 It's still my best disc. I got a Divergent Discs driver set and have been using that with some modest success now that my form is a little better. Their Tiyanak 8/5/-5/1 is my go to right now for max distance. with the -5 I have to aim a little right to get it to hit where I want it to go.
@@AlvinChao wow that is a ton of turn!
In a right to left wind, when the disc is on anhyzer, the wind is slamming it down. Since the flight of the distance shot is mostly on anhyzer, I think you lost some distance today.
after adding some new discs to my bag recently I have taken out my 2 distance drivers (one recently got in a players pack) My go to driver is a Saint & I just bought a Roadrunner so it will be interesting to see if I can get any more distance with that.
I love my stag with the skull stamp. It fly’s nice for me and I am very new
1-4 putters, 5-6 midrange, 7-11 fairway, 12-14 distance
I've recently dumped all of my "distance" drivers from my bag. I just don't seem to have the speed to get the actual distance out of my discs. My go-to was a sapphire (which I lost and need to replace).
Been focusing hard on mid-range and fairway discs. I'm thinking of picking up a Diamond after some of your comments!
The diamond is a really fun disc. The light weight ones are super super understable. The heavy weight ones fly really cool too!
I recently got a Diamond before his last video with them, highly recommend, mine is a 170 so not overly understable for me, great for snaking through some trees, it gives me that S line throw
Same here and my scores improved. To me the more I work on form, the more power I lose but I gain control and I don't hurt my body. I used to be able to throw faster but it hurt so I stopped doing that.
I have much more controlled distance using fairway drivers. My max distance disc is a trilogy challenge 170+ carat gold burst sapphire.
Nice to see that you throw a Judge the same distance and I throw my River. 😂
This guy throws his putter farther than I throw my distance driver. I'm just gonna go ahead and jump off thr highest building I can find
Whattt, love these videos just as much as your clash Royale ones dang.
This is very interesting to see. My max with putters is around 325, my mids go 350, fairways 375-400, and my distance drivers to 425. I seem to get a steady increase in distance when I increase the speeds of the discs. I think my form is just bad, but my armspeed is decent. The max distance shot I've ever thrown on flat ground is 485 with a Zeus, but I usually throw it around 400.
I also got some more distance by timing my release with my plant foot
I was introduced to DG around a year and a half ago. I play here and there, but in this past week I've been playing almost every day lol. I soon realized that my release of the disc is pretty bad (I don't expect it to be good since I haven't played consistently) is that something that I'll get better at the more I play? Or should it be something that I should really work on? New Subscriber as well. Thanks in advance!
The release is something that will naturally come as realize you are releasing early or late and missing your line. But I would definitely say to work on finding a consistent release point that way you can adjust your aim from there
Pushing a crave disc does some very long drives. And it's a six speed yet it pushes out farther then most discs , side arm .
I thought ”that looks exaclty like molt”, looked in the channels page, well that explains it
Haha that’s me
Do you like the Sapphire more in Gold plastic or Opto plastic? I've been using the Opto, but I am thinking about getting one in the gold plastic aswell.
Once gold is beat in it flips up really well. And honestly the gold plastic has more grip and feels a lot softer. I really like it
Have you tried a King or Destiny? I’ve been loving the combo of those two. King is slightly understable with a fade and the Destiny even more understable for hyzer flip S turn flights.
I have not. I’ve seen both of them but never ordered them because I thought I already had everything I needed lol. But maybe I’ll order then and give it a try
I’ve always considered anything over 10 speed a distance driver. My distance record is also with a sapphire at 430’. My most stable high speed is a grace.
Kinda seemed like you were throwing a bit too nose up with the distance drivers; could just be from really powering up on them. The raider shot looked like it lifted and stalled out, a bit more nose down and it would've taken off 🚀🚀
Yea! I need to really do some work this off season on angle control and some form stuff
i'm kinda scared of losing my glimmer keystone. can't find anymore anywhere!
I typically throw fairway drivers the farthest as well. Until I picked up a ballista pro. The numbers suggest it is an over stable high speed driver. For some reason it’s seemingly an under stable disc. I can get it to flex out to 445 ft. Maybe give it a shot yourself!
Dang, I’ve got 2 of them I’ve never really thrown. I’ll have to try it!
Who does those feather dyes? And how do I get some!
LORE! Check them out online and on Instagram. Lore discs
how long have you been playing disc golf? how long did it take you to get to where you are now?
I got my PDGA membership in 2011 then stopped playing pretty much for 7 years or so and started playing again and taking it serious about 3 years ago.
@@MHDiscgolf I’ve been playing for fun for like 6 years but didn’t get into it almost at all until last year. Now I love the game so much but I feel like I am not getting THAT much better. But that’s cool, thanks!
@@MHDiscgolf hey, I've been playing for a little under a year now and for the most part I've got the distance down but my accuracy in the woods is rather poor. Do you have any recommendations or field drills to help build shot-shaping/accuracy outside of just going to courses?
I could swear I got a bounty, and it's a 4 speed. I consider it my under-stable suspect.
Bounty and suspect are the mids I bag
I know I’m pretty much a total newb at this game , but I can’t even throw my Escape lucid air 300 lol. I couldn’t imagine throwing my putter that damned far. Only been playing maybe 2 months at most , and I obviously notice the difference now from my first time playing ….. but how long did it take some of you guys to start hitting 350+ ?
You’ll get there. Just takes time to figure out form and everything. Also, throwing more understable discs will help with that. The air escape actually sounds pretty good. I used to love my escape
@@MHDiscgolf appreciate the kind words . I know I’ll get there , I’m really just playing because it’s fun but a little more distance on these local courses would go a long way hahaha . On a really good throw I can hit around 285 but I’m averaging about 250-260 . My escape is my best disc for distance , but my Passion is my best disc for accuracy and for some reason I can only get about 230 with it so I use it mostly for 2nd shots on longer holes to set up my approach .
It’s a great game though , wish I would have started 10 years ago lol.
How do you measure the distances?
With either the UDISC APP or the bushnell
In my opinion speed categories are:
Putters: 1-4
Mids: 5-6
Fairway: 7-8
Control Driver: 9-10
Distance: 11+
I started running faster on my run up and I got like 40 more feet
I can make a halo destroyer fly straight for a while but man it’s overstable
Yea that halo plastic is STABLE from what I’ve heard
your arm speed isn't up there. no way, dude you yeet that stuff from winthorp to noda
charlotte ppl be like
I’ll bet you can throw further than chief pat
I don't know what kind of actual courses y'all play on, but most courses around here (central NC) don't have any sections longer than 200' - they're all tight woodsy courses with lots of dog legs. A distance driver is completely useless.
