Bart! I am so pumped that I found your site and your videos! I absolutely love how clear and detailed your information is, and absolutely love that you explain the science! Do you have an average distance or chart to measure drives for female disc golfers? What would you consider an average thrower and a big arm for an intermediate player? Thanks… Brea

  Thank you, Brea, we’re glad to have you as part of our community! Here’s a link to the Pozzy study’s data by player sex and experience level: http://www.aracnet.com/~stuart/images/Copy%20of%20division_distance%20copy.gif
  Unfortunately, there were very few women (making the data there a lot less reliable), but we’re putting together some great new data that we’ll be able to share soon!
