Not to sidetrack this too much, but GG smoked everyone in this distance contest, even though some other guys were likely 5mph more arm speed. They had a tough right to left crosswind (not what you want for distance throwing, slams the disc down on high turning lines).
He threw a glidey understable disc super nose down and hyzer which allowed for wind lofting from the right to left wind to gain vertical real estate, then it flips up, loses some lift but holds the slight turn for a while because of his awesome spin fighting the pitching moment, then gets a nice forward penetrating fade at the end. If the nose was higher at release, it would not have maintained underneath exposure for extra wind lofting during the fade portion of flight and also would have experienced more drag sooner.
