On April 1st, Germany's Chris Max Voigt threw a Discraft XS 712.1 feet (217.05m) in the California desert, breaking Scott Stokely's long-standing record of 693.3 feet. Scott Stokely witnessed the throw and said about it "There was a steady 10-15 mph wind and Chris got off a near perfect, fairly high anhyzer that we all knew was a record the moment it hit the ground. We shot it with a laser and then laid down a tape measurer and got nearly identical results."
