[Question] For open upshots, which disc and line do you choose to throw?

I think he's saying that the only hyzers are nose up stall outs.

I typically don't equate stall outs with anhyzers, but yeh, if you get the nose up they'll pull out early, which is the same thing.
 
the principle is the same. Either use nose or disc angle to achieve a more accurate and reliable flight that's all im saying. Throwing a NOSE UP SHOT is just making a disc lose speed and start fading sooner than it typically would just like throwing a disc at a steep hyzer angle cuts on the D and increases accuracy through a extremely reliable flight pattern that follows the natural finish to a throw. Neither one are going to win a distance competion and all have their spots out on the course. UFO air bounces are much more likely with the nose up technique though.
 
Do you see noobs getting accurate flight out of their nose-up stalls? I don't, they're usually searching for their disc OB.

Using a little nose up to slow the disc and for placement is another thing altogether.

Nose up hyzers, ftw. (Truly. It's my go-to approach shot.)

I think the key to approaching is reliable misses. I'm pretty certain that if I throw a nose up hyzer, it's going to be missing left and short.

If I just throw a hyzer, I'm pretty sure the misses will be left, but they can go long or short for me fairly easily.
 
Of course I do. It does not appear you know what any type of hyzer is. In any event, the video mentioned is not about any type of hyzer.

Could've fooled me.

Strange, the hyzer is one of my most used throws...and I'm not talking about a nose-up stall.

That's one of the ugliest misses in the game. Ever consider fading that OS putter in towards the basket instead? This is neither a hyzer or nose-up, but a flat throw and letting the fade get it close to the basket while also keeping it from overshooting long.
 
You both fooled me into thinking that the two of you knew what you were arguing about.

He does this a lot. One incomplete thought after another mixed in with a misquote here and there. Before long, you really have no idea what he is trying to say. Then, he gets banned.

I used to. Missing long right, short left, short right, and long left made me look for other options. Throwing a nose up hyzer a little hard, and letting the fade take it to the basket, and the nose up keeping it from going too long, while eliminating misses right and quite long, seemed like the better option.
 
"For wide open upshots, can you convince everyone which disc and line is the best way?"

Jeez people. If you like upside down nose-up anhyzer approaches with a 10M Brick best, that's cool. Whatever gets the disc in the basket for you. If we all threw the same discs the same ways, we wouldn't have much to talk about here.

Okay, but that's where trust in the disc and the throw is key. On short approach or upshots, I'm trying to get as close to the basket as possible, not trying to determine the best way to miss.

I'm trying to get in the basket.


I'm just going out on a limb here, and guessing that you play rounds of golf as often as you spend a day in the field.

With a nose-up hyzer stall? Get serious. Sounds like you're laying up everything short and left because you don't want to miss badly. In fact, you've said as much.

Oh, here comes the insult again. I do still put in regular field work in addition to playing, especially when working out new discs. Try it sometime?
