I assume some of you can take the same driver and throw it any way you want...Hyzer, S, AnHyzer, ETC.
What specifically do you do to keep the (same)disc more or less straight vs. causing the disc to S
Essentially yes, but to do this you need a fairly neutral driver like a flash, pro orc or crush. To throw a hyzer, just release the disc with a pronounced hyzer angle and it will fly deep and left. To s curve it throw flat and hard, but not hard enough to flip it to the ground. Anhyzer is a little harder. You have to release the disc slightly to the right and keep it from working left.
I'm not exactly clear what orc lover was saying with trying to keep the anny going to the left, but regarding the big s curve vs a tight shot- I tend to think of tighter shots as lower and big s curves as higher shots.

generally, the straightest possible flight path = flattened hyzer.
discs that won't turn when thrown flat generally will have substantial fade. taking a stable to slightly understable broken in disc on a hyzer line and torque free release, you can get a flight path that flies straight, flattens out, stabilizes, and fades minimally and late in its flight.
not all discs are very well suited for this shot and how much margin for error you have on the hyzer angle to stabilize vs. turn will vary quite a bit from disc to disc. a disc like a teebird will allow you more freedom of release angles to get a straight flight than a disc like a leopard.
i throw my hyzer flips/turnovers with a brand new 175 Champion Leapords and i throw my straight/hyzer shots with a 1yr old 11x Teebird.. Still flies like i got it yesterday.
Don't know if this helped, but i felt like sayign it anyway.
Anyone have any 11x Teebirds?? I will trade/BUy them! pm me

Here's another Question:
When you reach back on your drive what is the angle at your wrist. The wrist down orientation causes some natural bend, but do you curl your wrist back more than that?

if you get some natural bend, that is fine. you do not want to curl/cuff your wrist. i find this is more of a preference thing, many condone locking the wrist into the neutral position. i find that i get much more consistent snap/d if i allow my wrist to bend naturally, but i am generally more accurate if i do not let my wrist bend.
Thanks, as always, for the advice Blake.
