Disc Golf Hyzer and Anhyzer Shots

The Hyzer shot is another shot used to get around objects. A Hyzer happens when the angle of release is where the outside edge or left edge of the disc is tilted downward for a RHBH thrower (the right edge is the outside edge for a left hand back hand thrower - LHBH). This will result in the disc flying from right to left for a RHBH thrower. The grip is the same as a RHBH drive grip. What is important is a player's stance which should be adjusted to the line of flight.

The Anhyzer shot is yet another shot used to get around objects. The Anhyzer happens the angle of release where the outside edge or left edge of the disc is tilted upward for a RHBH thrower (the right edge is the outside edge for a left hand back hand thrower - LHBH). This will result in the disc flying from left to right for a RHBH thrower. Like the Hyzer throw the grip is the same as a RHBH drive grip. As with the Hyzer shot, a player's stance should be adjusted to the line of flight.

This video from the Disc Golf Association shows both the Hyzer and the Anhyzer shots.

The following video features Nikko Locastro, one of the fine younger pro players, addressing both Hyzer and Anhyzer shots with a lot of emphasis on the reachback and walking through not speeding up until the end of your throw when you bring your lower body into play.

Below is the Discraft Anhyzer shot tutorial video.
