There is a Charlotte pro who shall remain nameless (MJ) that used to throw some kind of forehand/submarine upside-down thumber there. Don't know if he still does.

What doesn't come through too clearly in that photo is the netting. Above that first branch over the gap there is netting to prevent any thought of trying to punch out an overhand shot or even a spike hyzer type deal. So not only do you have that look from the tee, but you have to land on that seeming sliver of a green throwing a shot that has to come out of the tee relatively flat. It's a lot harder to dial in precise distance when you can't spike the shot in some way.
If it is so much easier to spike hyzer it why don't more of the top pros just toss out like Doss did and then spike hyzer it for the safe 3?
Because the reward of a 2 is often (thought to be) worth the risk.

Professional disc golfers don't win by taking a bunch of low percentage/high risk shots
Didn't Doss still go OB after laying up one round?

I don't get the net. If someone has that good of a thumber they should be able to use it. Why do so many course designers hate thumbers? Its a disc golf skill that not a lot of people have

He went OB trying to layup but got a bad roll.
Safe to say that hole won it. The Nova is the perfect disc for that hole, it's like throwing a spitball.Code:Strokes Player 8 McBeth 15 Wysocki 17 Doss 13 Sexton 10 Colglazier 12 HJ 12 MJ 14 Brinster 14 Teemu 10 Uli 17 Jerm 13 Champ 15 Melton 14 Proctor 12 Schultz 20 Will 11 Rico 18 Feldy 11 Avery 15 Nikko
