Clarification on Flip/Turn Terminology

[rowdyray]

I have now been playing disc golf for around seven months and have improved my game a great deal. However, I am still confused about some disc golf terminology. Could someone please explain what each of these terms or phrases means in simple terms?

-Flip a disc
-a flippy disc
-Turn a disc over
-hyzer flip
-spike hyzer

I am particularly wondering about flip vs turn over. I sort of thought they were the same thing. If you make a disc turn left is that throwing it on an anhyzer line or turning it over or flipping it? I feel confused. Please help.

they basically are the same thing. if you are a righty, your discs will naturally want to fade left. A turnover or flip would be to the right. An anhyzer is not the same as a turnover. An anhyzer is a shot where the outer edge of the disc is above the horizontal plane. You release the disc with that angle and it starts going to the right immediately. a turnover/flip shot is generally released with hyzer (outer edge angled below horizontal) and the disc will turn from hyzer to flat to turning right.

A 'flippy' disc to most golfers is a disc that is either very easy to turn over or possibly turns over too much.

A spike hyzer is a high arcing shot used when you need to go up and over or around an obstacle, or need a shot that will stick when it hits the ground.

Flip a disc: the same as turning it over, high speed turn occurs in the opposite direction of low speed fade, to the right for RHBH throwers
Flippy: aka understable, easily turned over
Hyzer flip: throwing an understable disc at a hyzer angle so that it flips up into a straight or high speed turn flight pattern
Spike hyzer: a high arcing hyzer that comes down hard and plants where it lands
