Hyzer & Anhyzer Shots for Disc Golf

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Patrick Kenton with the Wind Riders Disc Golf Club in McKinsey Park in Lubbock, Texas. We are going to talk a little bit about the type of throw; actually, it is the angle of the throw. You can orient the disc this way for a hyzer shot or you can angle it this way for an anhyzer shot. Now most shots you should select a disc to do the work so you want to throw level most of the time. But in certain situations when there is a tree in the distance and you want to go around that tree from right to left, throw a hyzer shot something like this. It curves right to left very quickly, if you throw an anhyzer shot it goes from left to right a little bit. And also, this is pretty much the shot that you would throw to maximize your distance to get the S shot. Basically it goes up, rides the wind, comes around, decreases velocity and drops. That is the preverbal S that disc golfers are after, so we will try to throw one of those right here, I am going to anhyzer this shot. And it S’ed out and those are the two basic types of shots to throw, the hyzer shot - curves right to left and anhyzer from left to right. "
