Anhyzer allllll day, baby!!!

I have such a small amount of control when throwing forehand. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t have the flick down or because I’m putting a little too much mustard on it. Most likely the latter. That’s why I will almost ALWAYS throw a stable disc with a lil anny (or is it Annie?) on it. Besides, when that disc S’s right where you want it, it looks so badass, almost like you meant to do it.

Sure, the margin for error is much greater. You rip one off the tee with too much anhyzer and now you’ve got a roller headed in the opposite direction of the basket. Not enough anhyzer and your disc is going to curve to the left, probably in the river you would’ve avoided had you thrown a stable disc forehand. It’s a love/hate relationship. But when you find that disc and learn its’ abilities with some anhyzer, its tough to come back to your shitty forehand throws.

Over the years I have learned a few tricks to help tame the beast that is Anhyzer and they’ve been working so far. First, we’ll cover how to throw anhyzer.

How to throw a disc with Anhyzer

In order to put anny on your throw, you’ll want the outside of the disc to have an upward angle during your release. It’s important to practice this with overstable, stable, and understable discs. The more stable the disc, the more it will want to return to its normal flight path. This means more fade and less makes that puppy turn back to the left at the end of its flight. More turn and less fade means that sucker is going left and staying left.

Throwing a disc with anhyzer causes the disc to fly to the right during its initial flight path. Mastering this technique can be very difficult, but it comes with great rewards, especially if you suck at throwing forehand.

One thing that has helped me with my anhyzer throws has been keeping me chest up and open during the last step of my drive. It’s almost like puffing your chest out as you’re going to release. Leaning back during your release achieves the same thing, but I find it easier to focus on puffing out my chest. I think this disrupts my accuracy the least when throwing a disc with anhyzer.

Also, try to place your lead foot a bit more forward in your stance during your throw, keeping your rear foot more behind you. This causes your shoulders to open up in a way that angles the disc in favor of an anhyzer. By puffing out your chest during your throw you will naturally place your footing like that.

**All of this is based on a RHBH throw**

When to throw a disc with Anhyzer

Learning to successfully throw anhyzer adds a whole new set of weapons to your arsenal. Whether you’re finessing a putter around a tree, trying to float one around a bend, or faced with a dog leg off the tee.

Use anhyzer whenever you wanna look cool. Use it when you’re faced with a shot that needs to go right and you’re like me and you have no forehand shot. Use it to get around obstacles that prevent you from using a traditional throw to get your disc to the left.

Use it whenever you want or don’t use it at all. Don’t be like me, learn a forehand throw, because anhyzer is your friend… until its not.
