I was really hoping to have the question of
"Do you guys generally use a disc more stable for anhyser shots than you would for turnover shots?"
So if I am using Valks and Leopards for turnovers what might be a good disc for anyzers? My concern is that if I go too stable the anhyzer will turn into a flex shot and hyzer back. Anyhyzers seem to ride such a fine line.
It depends on the shape of the shot and your ability. For some, it is difficult to throw on the anny release angle, so an understable disc can help. Sometimes, I want the shot to flex back out, sometime I want it to stay in the turn.
If you are just trying to get around a few trees to an otherwise open basket then it's not so particular.
I played a course yesterday where about 8 shots were right turns, in varying degrees of woods, tunnels, and trees in small clearings. Very challenging and well designed IMO. Designed by a left-hander, no doubt.
Some where shorter with a gradual turn, so my Voodoo on an anny was nice. Throwing a slower disc can often be an easier way to ensure it will turn.
One was a bit longer (300ish) and required that it stay in the turn, so beat Roc, thrown anny, with a hard pull (OAT) would get it turning and force it to stay turned over.
Another was a 324' slight down hill, but I had to hit a gap and then turn late. I threw a really beat Gazelle on a hyzer. It slowly flipped to flat and after about 250 started turning right. A "J" shaped shot. Would have been a good forehand hole, too, but I stink at forehands over 200 ft. The challenge with this disc, though, is that it is so beat, it can easily flip and hit on edge, turning into a cut roller and shoot 50 ft away from where it landed.
And, lastely, one where I needed to get around some trees, but the basket had woods and a dropoff to the right. So I threw a new Roc at it, anny, but wanted it to fade/flex out to "hit the brakes" and not continue turning over and land in the woods over the edge.
Your Leopards and Valkyries are fine for big annys as they will tend to stay in the turn a long time. Your Leopard may, however, turn into a roller, which you may not want. Often, stable discs will fade out a bit, so they land flatter. New Valks will come back out, but beat DX Valks will definately want to turn into rollers.
I hope this helps a bit. It may sound confusing, but it's hard to describe in words the different flights. It really depends on the shot and how far you can throw certain discs.
A Roc holds a great anny line, if you can throw it 250 or more. At 300ft, a wearing DX Roc is a turnover disc. A beat DX Teebird holds a great anny line, with no fade back, if you force it over. An 11X Gazelle is a nice s-shot disc, because it is a very stable version of the Gazelle and fights to get back to flat and then fade.
Take your whole bag out to a practice field and throw every disc on an anny release, starting with your putters, and ending with your drivers. See how they fly and how they get there. And just for the heck of it, try it on hyzers, too.
