[Question] Your "Sky Anny" Disc

[armiller]

This is a shot I only recently started attempting, as my backhand continues to improve. The only disc I can really make work is my Relay. I've tried with higher speeds like a Z Heat or Champ Valkyrie with no luck (still a little too overstable so they fade out on me). I've never been one to bag a bunch of flippy discs, but I imagine those are the discs I'm missing for this shot.

What discs do others use for these shots? I imagine there's some benefit to using speed 6-8 types (like my Relay) but do you also use higher speeds? Thanks.

I like something with anywhere from a -0.5/1 to -1/2 type stability for this shot. If it's a sky-turnover type shot then it'll be more like -3/1. But I prefer to get it up high, set a pretty steep angle, know that it won't add too much more to the angle to turn it into a roller, but that there's a touch of stability so that it will keep panning towards flat as it drifts right so it stays gliding. I prefer the Comet overall for this shot, then a mellow Teebird for fairways, and I am currently using a Gstar Destroyer for distance drivers (-1/2 type of flight driver for me). The faster the disc I feel like you need to commit to the shot more, due to nose angle being more finicky and also because they will inherently fade a bit more if you mess up...but it also lets you set the angle a little steeper from the get go and trust it won't roll.

It's crucial that you have a nose down release. Make sure you can throw a sweeping anny shot with your putter, or else there's no way your drivers will work out...and they'll keep you scratching your head as to why.

 

[Stable]

175g Champion Roadrunner. Absolutely love this mold. I had also been using a Relay for a little while but it got a bit too understable for me. The Roadrunner can handle power/speed a lot better. I'm holding onto the Relay to introduce a new player to fairway speeds.

 

[Reniger]

170g C-TD has been working great for me. Tons of glide, enough stability to keep from rolling all the way over, holds the anhyzer for 80% of it's flight before flattening out with a gentle landing. Underrated disc right there.

Depends on the distance, but here are my discs for that shot going from shortest to longest:

champ glow big bead Aviar
s-line MD
gstar Thunderbird
PNF Pro Destroyer

 

[VictorB]

Beat up gravity ghost or a super beat p line pd.

 

[clard]

S FD, or E* Teebird. They both can hold an annu from way up high and have very little chance of turning too much. I find faster discs are tougher. They either turn too much or fight out if the angle isn't perfect.

 

[wims]

Fresh sFD. It holds the line really well

 

[bobmcnelly]

Tp Hatchet, I can be confident even if I don't get a great snap on it, it won't fade out.

 

[ODRB]

Beat Wizard, beat Roc, beat Gazelle, beat OLF or champ RR.

 

[4th Rock]

Gold Line Vison and a beat Champion Beast is what i use for huge annys. An very beat star Archon comes out for high tailwind annys or stupid shots that i never want to fade. I also use a Lucid Freedom where i need some decent fade at the end.

 

[tirepizza]

Another vote for the hatchet. Will not fade out

 

[DanJon]

Yeti Aviar
Beat Roc
Eagle L.

 

[jskew113]

Beat up Wizards, Rocs, Leos, etc work for me.

 

[Mr. Butlertron]

Roadrunner, a beat DX Wraith, or Mamba is what I use

 

[Keller]

Depends on the distance

Yeti
Comet
Leopard
Beat DX Roc, DX Gazelle and DX Teebird
Sidewinder
Roadrunner
will all work for me.

I actually can throw all of my bag on a big anny, some just flex out earlier. Useful to know how all your discs work on an anny line

 

[Broken Shoulder]

Something stable on that anny line that pans out is awesome.

For something with less stability, I suggest a Mongoose.

 

[jonkimbertx]

Worn in Pro plastic discs work well for me. I have a P-Line FD I use most of the time and a Pro Wraith I'll pull out for absolute max distance anhyzers.

 

[EROPPER]

Another vote for the Hatchet- dependable holding of the anni line with no fade out

I also have an Avenger SS that works well sometimes, but ocassionally turns into a BH cut roller

Also If I really crank on a Renegade it holds the line- got to commit to it though

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Any disc will work but i find the more US stuff needs to be thrown flatter or even with a slight hyzer if very US for a true panning sky anny vs one that will be a sky roller.

My favorite discs to throw like this are my ion and theory/tangent. The virus/vanish are good too and of course the relay does everything well except fight a headwind lol.

You can even throw very OS discs on anny or roller lines with the right angle.



Cant say i throw the motion like this very often but...
