Hyzer flipping - Disc Golf

Mikk · #1 March 11th, 2013, 12:39 PM

So I have discovered that I can hyzer flip a distance driver (rhbh) farther than I have ever thrown before! This morning I got 480ft +\- 16ft acording to my gps app. Hole 16, red tee pad at white river. Its a 560ft par 4 with about a 20ft drop in elevation.
I have always had control issues with realy flippy plastic, so I got a lat64 opto bolt and king. These are the 2 most flippy distance drivers on the market. I wouldnt even think about throwing these into a head wind, with tail wind they will travel a country mile!

I was throwing rhbh and with about 70 deg of hyzer, so almost flat to my knees!! The king is stil too flippy for me unless There is mass tail wind. The bolt is working great tho, however its useless for my lhfh, it almost flips up side down!
After showing some local steili players how the bolt will fly for me, one went and got one too. If I can realy get a good solid rip on that bolt I do think that it is possible to reach 500ft.

Is their any other realy flipy distance drivers that is worth looking into?

No kidding? Funny I used to like the valk until I started throwing bosses and destroyers...
I tried to throw a wahoo on a hyzer, but it flipped to a roller imediately

I would guess (from your posts here) that the Valk would be too understable for you. But, if thrown right, it will go!

Halo = Same glide and speed as bolt, but more stable, hyzer @ 8 o'clock

What app do you use? I've been using Udisc and I've found it to be really inconsistant.

Nike ball golf shoes, ebay 20$. I removed the rubber cleats, and they are water proof.

flipping is so much cooler than fliping

Why did you remove the rubber cleats?

I found that they make my footing squishy on concrete tee pads. They are awesome everywhere else tho. There are many types of cleat shapes available, but can get spendy. So I just got 3 pairs of shoes and wear them out. It has taken almost 4 years of daily golf to kill 3 pairs, so 1000 rounds of 18 holes between all 3 pairs.

And just when I thought I was getting a handle on throwing a good hyzer flip drive, I miss-judged the head wind on hole 16 at white river, and put my new bolt into the river ;-(

Flipy plastic is just too unpredictable in head winds for me!!

Lately I have been throwing a D1 as far as my Halos with a really predictable line and finish. This disc is quickly growing on me. I'm releasing with a slight hyzer. For pure distance I still like the Halo, but most courses don't allow me to throw pure distance. I took the Bolt out of my bag for the same reason. I could get really good distance once in a while 400-450' in the summer with gentle tailwind, (I normally throw around 350+), and some amazing rollers with the Bolt. But when the wind showed up, even just a little head or cross wind, all the fun was gone. That thing became really unpredictable when it would choose to flip and glide a mile the wrong direction. So I have 3 of them on my shelf for now.

The Halo is a good disc, however I had grip issues with it. I.E. due to the design of the inside of the wing, it would sneak out of my hand on big drives.

I believe that darn beveled edege was designed for side-arm drives, and not so much back hand drives.

I'm looking into the D1 and the Z Nuke SS...
