Is it just me or do discs travel faster when they're flying anhyzer or hyzer? Is there less drag on discs when they're not flat?

Short answer, no it shouldn't. Long answer, maybe... if form is bad (i.e. nose up) on a flat shot. There's a lot to talk about with this, but it's too late in the evening for me to want to lay it all out. I will revisit this thread with a more thorough response soon. It is going to take a few free body diagrams of lift factors vs gravity at different angles to really show what's going on here. I have a degree in mechanical engineering with a focus on the fluid dynamic studies of circulation lift theory. This is right up my alley.
Dr. Disc Golf! woot woot!
i know when a shot LANDS with anhyzer, it seems to come in more hot. i think a disc looses the most speed late in its run, after its come back from its flip. for longest shots, seems to me the best way is throwing a long, low hyzer with an overstable disc, turn it over a hair and then flip back and get a big ole shipperoo while the disc still has some torque left.
The skip effect with how different shots come in needs to be addressed, agreed. when a disc lands it skip and/or bounces. There is a serious ground texture/angle thing here that can't be accounted for realistically. I can give general terms for the condition upon which a disc will wither bounce, or air-skip off of something... but that is way to far into the realm of chaos theory when it comes down to the meat of it.
I'll just focus on the whoel airborn part of the disc's travels.
circulation lift theory
When y'all are finished with your physics class lets go play a $5 round of golf.. You can worry about the physics of the discs while I concentrate on my game and take your money.
If I haven't figured it out in 22 years I doubt I ever will.worrying about the physics of disc flight IS worrying about my game...maybe one day youll learn...

yeah some people just dont have that particular intelligence.
Didn't I see a thread where you were one of the people whining about personal insults on this forum? Hypocrite much?

Bring it on, I love learning about this stuff. As a Bio/Chem major I have enough physics and math to understand what you're saying but not enough to figure it out on my one. I can't wait.
i was referring to the theory of multiple intelligences. more info can be found here:

chip on your shoulder much?
