I hear this being said all the time on the DG forums. I am a pretty avid player but don't know what it means?? Can anyone explain what a hyzer flip is, and is it something you have to do with a more understable disc?

ive been wondering the same thing too. I hear hyzer/anhyzer and overstable/understable alot too. to be honest i have no clue about any of those 3 things. I know how I throw and which way the disc ends up after
for personal curiousity, if someone has a video or knows of a video for the throw from the OP would you mind posting it please?
I had to quickly interject the inclusion of an understable disc in one of the earlier post. A hyzer flip shot can be done with a more stable disc, but really comes down to arm speed. I hyzer flip Flashs and a Z-XS, which are both rated at 1.5 (per Discraft).
Don't pigeon hole yourself into throwing a purely understable disc. I have to say a Z-XS is an incredible Flip Hyzer disc.
If you can get a hold of some pro tapes from clashdvd.com you'll see a ton of these types of shots.
You know, that's the most sense I've seen made of technical terms from anyone on here, as far as being able to understand it. Still unclear about what a flex shot is, but that's a totally different subject, huh?
In the prior posts, I'm trying to figure out how its possible to Hyzer flip a Destroyer or something of the like. An anhyzer flip, defnatly, but not a hyzer flip.

im pretty sure a flex shot is where you take an overstable disc ie the destroyer, and throw it with an anhyzer to make it fly in a S pattern.
If you read Innova's web page, they have a list of terms and diagrams to explain things. After reading this it really bothers me that it is so common for people to use the terms in other ways. So either Innova has it wrong or a lot of people never learned the terms correctly.
From my understanding the terms Hyzer and Anhyzer refer to the angle at which the disc is released. Hyzer means the outside edge is lower than the inside edge and Anhyzer is where the outside edge is higher than the inside edge.
During the flight of a disc a disc will turn, flip or fade. Turn and flip basically refer to the same motion where the disc changes angle from its initial release angle in the opposite direction of the expected fade at the end of the flight of the disc. When a disc slows down in air and looses rotational momentum it will tend to fade in a particular direction depending on wether or not the disc is rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise.
An overstable disc is one that has little to no high speed turn and lots of fade.
A stable disc is one that has little to no high speed turn and little to no fade.
An understable disc is one that has lots of high speed turn and little to no fade.
Now, a hyzer flip is when you release an understable disc with hyzer angle on it so that it flips up straight or even to some of the expected high speed turn. This will theoretically give you the most distance possible though flex shots are also good for long shots as well. This would be taking an overstable disc and releasing it with anhyzer angle. It is fun.
There, I have said my piece and have a peace.
