Hyzer vs. Anhyzer

Ever throw a disc that curves to the far left or right even though you released it at the right time?  Most likely, the disc was tilted when it left your hand.  This will effect the aerodynamics of the disc and cause it to curve.  By being aware of the angle of the disc when it leaves your hand, you can not only have a more consistent throw, you can tweak it to curve the disc around trees or other obstacles.

When throwing backhand, you can tilt the outside edge of the disc in in one of two different directions.

When tilting the outside edge down, it is called Hyzer.



When the outside edge is up, it is called Anhyzer.


If you are right handed, throwing Hyzer will cause the disc to curve to the left and throwing Anhyzer will cause the disc to curve to the right.  In either case, the disc has a natural tendency to level itself out and has a natural "S" curve.  This all might sound complicated, but when you get out on the course, it will become obvious.
