They're for more than just right turns (RHBH).
I like throwing with a hyzer release. Under stable discs are great for long straight shots when thrown that way. I also like using them for left-turning shots where I want a long gradual curve. My feeling is that you can make an under stable...
Then I tell everybody that I totally meant to do that and it counts as a putt:D. That's why my % tends to go down with distance but I'm miraculously 100% from about 50ft and out.
In reality though, I try to avoid ever doing "half runs." For me, they pretty much never go in if I don't commit...
I only use a run up if I'm trying for max D. Otherwise, years of playing ultimate have made a standing throw the most comfortable and consistent for me. It also has the added bonus of requiring less space and being less sensitive to unfavorable terrain. I can't imagine being very consistent...
I think you all are agreeing.
Hosting worlds takes lots of volunteer hours. Emporia has the volunteer base and willingness to host but to make it challenging for the pros requires tons of OB. You wouldn't need all the OB if you could do it someplace else but nowhere else seems interested in...
That was a very interesting read and I thought the comments were constructive as well. I especially liked the idea of adding river rocks or other unstable footing to add difficulty to the subsequent shot without a stroke penalty as a way to increase granularity. Of course, that's potentially...
My pulsar experience was opposite. The 2 I've thrown were definitely more stable than an UltraStar. That was consistent with everything I heard from players in the MLU (RIP) as well. Maybe you got a weird one?
Does anyone else change their grip based on how hard you're trying to throw it? I slowly transition from a fan to a power grip. I do this basically unconsciously and I do this both for disc golf discs as well as ultimate.
Take the base off and stack things under it to achieve desired height for "downhill" putts. Leave the base on ans stack things under it for "uphill" putts.:\
Back to the OP:
One way to throw with more height without running into nose-angle issues is to throw a hyzer-flip. Another way is to throw a big swooping anhyzer.
My experience has been that 5 ft is probably too big a jump for that type of practice session. I usually go with 1-2 ft which helps maintain the continuity. If you make the jumps too big it can get frustrating.
Spike hyzer is just a really high hyzer shot that comes down as a nearly vertical blade and tends to stay wherever it lands reasonably well. They're useful for going over obstacles or for when you really can't risk running too far past. You can throw one with any disc though.
I would expect...
