When ever I trie to throw an anhyzer rhbh it goes in this beatiful arc, looks like others I've seen thrown then just before it goes right on the line I want it flexes out to the left. This is very frustrating. I can throw side arm and get the hook, but I'm not real consistant with it (although it is long and nice when it works).

Oh yeah, how do I fix this?

well... if you want the disc to keep the turn longer, use more snap. If you are throwing with a power grip, you may want to try a three finger grip to generate more snap. Also, I'm not sure what disc you are throwing for anhyzer shots but the best discs for these kind of shots are understable discs.. The valkyrie and sidewinder are good examples. Also, if you have an older disc that is a little beat up, it will probably hold the anhyzer line better. Hope this helps.

Make sure you get the nose down, too. A nose up anhyzer will flex out very quickly compared to a nose down anhyzer.

like sidearmed said.
use a more understable disc. are you talking about doing this on your drives? or on approach shots?
if your disc starts out anhyzer and going the line you want it to and then it flexes out of it... it's a disc selection problem
if your disc never gets on the proper anhyzer line... it's your throwing technique
say you're throwing a sidewinder and it gets anhyzer on it and still flexes back... you clearly need more power or more angle or less height (so it doesn't have room to flex back)
if you're throwing an orc and it flexes back... use something less stable (sidewinder, valkryie... or some beat in DX stuff!)

hope this helps

Thanks for the advice, I'm using a 174 Sidewinder (weapon of choice). It holds the line I want and starts to the right then does a little spin and comes back. I use this disc pretty exclusively it's taken a beating (only available in champion plastic, holds up well). I have a X Cyclone thats beat in. This happens when driving, I use it to take a side route for a better shot at the basket or for the tight right curves for better up shot placement. I got a putter that only goes right for mid ranges. My dog broke it in for me.

You could also see about getting a lighter sidewinder. I am a big fan of varying weights (although my bag doesn't show it right now since I am also a big fan of losing discs).

What you are describing as the disc flexing back left is measured and reported by the disc manufacturers as the low speed fade. If you throw a stable or slightly understable disc with low speed fade it will hold its line well and fade out less than a disc with a higher low speed fade rating.

I personally like beat in DX Roc's for most turn over shots. Beat in ProLine TeeBird-L's (takes only a few hits against trees) work very well for me too for longer shots.

I recommend using the manufactures' and experimenting with discs that have a very low speed turn/fade rating. Remember that beat up discs will do better turnover and no fade than brand new, so you might want to bum some used discs off freinds to borrow or buy real cheap.

when I teach people how to play, I don't give them drivers.

My advice is learn to throw putters first. When you get those to turn and hold a line, move up to midranges. When you got those to hold a line, move up to understable drivers.

All the newbies I see go out and get the most overstable CE disc they can find, and I just shake my head. I have seen the major anhyzer release angle just to get 280' and it is terrible to learn that first. imnsho

Aug 17 2005, 08:10 PM
that's the exact reason i shake my head at myself, but after years of throwing those, I just don't feel right throwing the teebird that i just picked up and forcing myself to learn.

moral of the story, learn slow, understable discs first, like putters or mids.

This guy isnt throwing a brand new FX or something, he's throwing a sidewinder. Its one of the most understable drivers out of the box you could throw. More snap will make it hold the anny line. No snap = low speed fade earlier in the flight.

You don't need much anhyzer on your release to get the sidewinder to hold the turn. Mine will fly off to the right half the time when i'm trying to release it flat. I usually have to release it hyzer just to keep it straight. Try flattening your throw out a bit.
