@Lthies91 some are anny's some hyzers. because it's hard to see the angle of the disc on release the best way to tell is by looking at the plane of the shoulders on release and the follow through of the arm. When throwing a hyzer the chest leans forward and the shoulders are more parallel with the ground. Upon release the arm follows through towards the sky. Anhyzers are essentially the opposite.

@kozmon0t doesn't compare at all. much slower, much more stable. It's basically the same disc as a firebird, only better.

yay MN

@Lthies91 you can negative-fade an overstable disc even with a weak arm. Not that the power even comes from the arm.

It's mostly a matter of angle of attack, the angle it's tilted up relative to the direction it's going. Every disc has a "zero fade" AOA where it will fly straight. Throw below that AOA and it will fade negative, above and it fades positive.

If you release hyzer with a low AOA, it also precesses around to anhyzer quicker than hyzer with a high AOA.

How does the ESP Predator compare to a Innova Star Destroyer for speed, and how wide is the rim?

[lampert1914]

Yeah its not anhyzer throws, those kids don't know what they're talking about.

[Lthies91]

isn't anhyzer when the face of the disc is toward you when the disc leaves the hands? when they throw they have the outside edge pointed down. i thought the disc was turning right because of the stability of the disc. Even when you throw an overstable disc you can get it to turn right if you have a fast enough arm like these guys

@bd36576 it gets more glide and goes farther

@bd36576

They are all throwing the anhyzer, because that's how you get the disc to do the nice s pattern on the throw to get max distance. All discs will naturally want to hyzer at the end, so if you throw it on the anhyzer with good spin on the disc it will go left, flatten out, fade to the right again, then at the very end go left and flatten out and drop.

@bd36576 the reason they are throwing anhyzers is because anhyzers have the most distance because they tend to glide more than hazers which normally fade to quickly
