Try a few round where you only throw knife hyzers. They're actually really easy to learn and control if you use the right discs (Z Predator, Champ Firebird, E Spirit...Whippet, Viper or Blaze if you want something slower).I saw someone throwing knife hyzers in practice before a tournament round. Very effective but they look very hard to pull off unless you really know what you are doing. I imagine that there are easier to control shots that could be used rather than this one. Just a thought.
The advantages are high wind resistance, little movement after landing and very little blowby. The only disadvantage is you need the room to do it.
It's a great way to run at the basket without worrying about missing and going very far past. It's also a great way to use a very wind resistant disc for a shorter hole that might normally require a shallower rimmed disc that normally gets affected by the wind a lot. Say you have a 250' shot that would normally be a long putter or shorter mid hole and you have a 15mph headwind. Rather than risking one of those discs getting caught or batted by the wind you can just pop an easy spike hyzer. Or say you have a 100' approach and want to make a run at it. Just throw a steep hyzer with your putter. You can put more into it and if you miss you're still right next to the basket.
In short, it's a great way to take the "touch" requirement out of a shot.
