BarrabusTheDiscGolfGnome said:Your archangel comes out of the turn? :shock:
It must be heavy/new or a CFR, cuz all the archangels I have ever thrown have flipped waaayyy right and didn't even consider fading back left (RHBH). If I applied any sort of power without crazy, stupid amounts of hyzer it was roller for sure.
I like the Eagle X and the Cyclone for flex shots most of the time.
That, or if I want a more dramatic flex a Spirit thrown anhyzer works well, too.dgdave said:Cyclones, Gazelles, and EXs will work good for this. Just wear them in a bit.

marmoset said:Firebirds will definitely work but they are sooooo overstable that they fight out of the steepest of anhyzers pretty quickly. That's why the Eagle X (EX) works so well. They have a slight bit of HSS understability if you throw fast enough; this allows the disc to hold the anny for a while before fighting out of it. Firebirds will fight left as soon as it leaves your hand even if you start with 90° of anhyzer. I use the Firebird like that once in a blue moon but the EX will probably be more useful for you in the long run.

Though I could do it with any disc in my bag, other than maybe my new preds, those three just seem to be the ones I throw on those lines most often.

I checked it out with my Champ Firebird and Eagle X today. I didn't realize I had Eagle X in my stock the whole time because it used to be my wife's disc. Firebird flexed over 300ft beautifully in tunnel woods which was similar to Eagle X but bit longer. It was kinda easy to throw flex shots with Firebird so I sorta prefer Firebird over Eagle X. I suggest you to try those Firebirds again.

You must be throwing one of those domey 12x if it is that easy to flex. My 11x flats are like slower Spirits...among the most overstable discs I've ever thrown and too overstable for a long flex shot unless I'm in the wide open and kill it.
