As was mentioned above, I used a 150g Mamba, but outgrew it quickly. Now my main two discs for flipping are a beat DX Teebird and a beat X Comet. Both fly laser straight lines when hyzer flipped.

I need some education here in terms of hyzer flipping. I get the basic idea here, that you release a disc on a hyzer angle, and the goal is the it flips up straight and flies straighter than it would otherwise.
But I have seen some conversations and threads on here that have me questioning how this works. I thought you hyzer flipped a stable/understable disc. By putting it on a hyzer angle, (especially for a US disc) the natural flight of the disc is what flips it up from the hyzer angle, but that all of the right movement (RHBH) is "used up" (not the scientific terminology I am sure) and you are left with a disc flying straight at the target. I assume then there might be some fade at the end depending on the disc that is flipped.
But I have seem some conversations on here that seem to indicate that you can do the same thing with OS discs, but I don't quite understand how that works. Are those convo's basically just wrong, or can you put enough torque on an OS disc to hyzer-flip it? Is the better option the flex shot for OS (anny release, s curve flight)? I know this might sound dumb, but I would appreciate the help. Thanks!
Instead of starting a new thread I figured I'd post in this one. I have always wondered about hyzer flipping.
What's the point of hyzer flipping? I honestly don't get it. I have never hyzer flipped until recently because my TP Tursas MUST be hyzer flipped or else if thrown flat it will just turn and burn. So I'm trying to dial-in my hyzer flip to get a good turn, but it's not a shot I am used to.
I have made a few really (really) great drives with this on a hyzer flip (then biffed the putt ) where it will flip flat and finish right, but I still don't understand this technique beyond making shots with a really understable disc. I used to hyzer flip my Z Buzzz a little bit to keep it from turning but currently the Tursas is the only disc I hyzer flip.

I'm by no means a pro, but the primary reason I hyzer flip is to throw a dead straight shot. This is due to the fact that pretty much every disc has at least some turn and some fade, however there are many understable discs that have very little fade. Because of this, if you hit the correct angle, you can have the turn flip it to flat and then watch is glide straight with very little fade at the end. Generally, the longer your disc can stay flat throughout it's flight, the further it will go. Because of this, many people have their longest throws with hyzer flips.
:thmbup: Thanks, this helps clear things up. I wasn't quite sure exactly the purpose of hyzer flipping before. I've had to start hyzer flipping my Teebird lately so this is a technique I'm going to have to work on. I'm still figuring out how much hyzer to use for different throws. I haven't been discing for a short while since we've been getting all these crazy storms so I am itching to go throw some plastic!I hyzer flip with moderate power to throw something understable very straight. Hyzer flipping with lots of power allows the disc to travel straight and then take a late turn to the right (RHBH). Without a decent forehand, the late hyzer flip is a go-to shot on anything with a tight fairway that has to finish to the right. Useful when there isn't enough space to let a normal anny round out to the left at the beginning.
