What does it mean to throw hyzer, anhyzer and right?
How to cast hyzer:
Throwing a disc on the hyzer means for a right-handed backhand thrower that the disc is dropped at an angle to move to the left. For a forehand thrower, it is mirrored, so the disc will move to the right. Hyzer is the angle with which it is easiest to achieve accurate and consistent throws.
For consistent hyzer casts you should:
- Lean forward a little. Feel free to let the disc be neutral in your hand and let your body decide how obliquely the disc should be released.
- Drop the disc a little lower than with a straight throw.
If you throw overstable discs on the hyzer, you are guaranteed that the disc will not turn over. For such throws, Firebird and Destroyer are superior.
How to cast anhyzer:
Throwing a disc at anhyzer means for a right-handed backhand thrower that the disc is dropped at an angle to move to the right. For a forehand thrower, it is mirrored, so the disc will move to the left. Anhyzer is a more challenging angle than hyzer, but is used a lot. Among other things, a backhand anhyzer throw gives more distance than a forehand hyzer throw.
For consistent anhyzer throw you should:
- Lean back a little. Feel free to let the disc be neutral in your hand and let your body decide how obliquely the disc should be released
- Release the disc slightly higher than with a straight throw
If you throw a slightly understable fairway driver or a stable midrange on an hyzer, the chances are high that you will get a nice arc as a result. Some of our favorites are Leopard and Origin .
How to throw straight:
Throwing a disc straight forward between obstacles on both sides, a so-called tunnel throw, is one of the most difficult throws in frisbee golf. Many will find that even if you achieve a straight exit angle, the disc will quickly turn to either the right or the left. This is because of the different stabilities on discene. To achieve the straightest throw, you should have a good, straight and controlled exit angle, while throwing a stable disc (not overstable and not understable) with little speed.
Discs that solve this problem are, for example , Aviar and Mako3 .
Hyzer Flip:
It is common to misunderstand what a hyzer throw is. Many believe that the hyzer throw is defined by how the disc flies after it leaves the thrower's hand. This is not entirely wrong to say, but it is not entirely true. In contrast, hyzer throw refers to the angle the disc has when throwing it. A hyzer flip is therefore that an understable disc is released on the hyzer, but "flips" up to the right and flies straight for a long period. This throw is used, among other things, to achieve more length and for long tunnel throws.
If you are going very far straight ahead, Mentor does the job. If you are not going as far, you can settle for a Leopard .
Flex:
The same rationale applies to anhyzer casts. It is the angle at which the disc is released that defines it as an anhyzer throw. A flex throw is when an overstable disc is dropped on the anhyzer, but "flexes" back to the left during the flight. This throw is used, among other things, to achieve maximum length.
Here again, overstable discs are needed, and as I said, our favorites are Firebird and Destroyer .
