How far can Eagle McMahon throw?

Eagle McMahon has thrown a Discmania DD3 Cloud Breaker to a distance of 707 feet (215.5 meters), which he threw in the 2021 Las Vegas Challenge distance competition using a 360-backhand throwing technique.

Eagle McMahon is one of the few disc golf players in the world, who can consistently break the 650′ barrier and occasionally even 700 feet distance barrier with his backhand throws. Eagle was also known for his forehand distance, he was throwing 500 feet on regular basis and maxed out at 550 feet, until he suffered a shoulder injury, which sidelined him for almost a whole season.

Eagle McMahon’s “The Mile Challenge”

Eagle McMahon came up with the idea of a “Mile Challenge”, this was inspired by Tristan Tanner’s “Combine Challenge“. The idea is pretty straight forward, how many throws does it take to throw a mile aka 5280 feet?

In his very first Mile Challenge attempt, Eagle chose to go with the 360-backhand throwing technique.

Here’s all of the 10 throws Eagle threw:

(1) 527′ (160 meters); (2) 556′ (169 meters); (3) 583′ (178 meters); (4) 595′ (181 meters); (5) 603′ (184 meters); (6) 672′ (205 meters)*; (7) 490′ (149 meters); (8) 619′ (188 meters); (9) 490′ (149 meters); (10) 285′ (87 meters). * = Farthest drive out of 10 throws.

Total Distance = 5394 feet (1644 meters)

The disc Eagle McMahon threw in the challenge using backhand: Discmania DD3 Cloud Breaker.

In addition, Eagle also has made a video about the same challenge, but throwing forehand/sidearm. He also tries the 360-forehand technique to get even more distance. Check out the videos down below.
