How to Throw Hyzer Flips in Disc Golf | Beginner Tips and Tutorials

[@CentralOSurvival]

All this time I've been trying to throw everything flat and straight an d having limited success on my drives..my bro showed me the hyzer flip last Sunday and it has already given me more distance, accuracy and a lower score...I've been practicing my ass off and was getting sooper frustrated and discouraged before that. Great video man! As usual!!😁😁

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

Let’s go!! So excited to hear that for you! Flat and straight has its place and so do flex shots, but the hyzer flip is 🔥🔥🔥

[@FranzPerez21]

I learned flat and straight first. Drilled it into my mind for the first couple months that every drive and every putt should be released flat and straight, only using angles for awkward approaches. I'm sure this held me back from understanding some of the flexibility of the discs in my bag, but I think it was a fair trade-off for what I gained from doing flat and straight. Throwing flat and straight every time made it super easy for me to correct my form and make my movements more deliberate. I couldn't blame shot choice for my form mistakes (something I still see some of my friends do) so I was more aware of what factors I needed to control in my release. Now that I have confidence that I am actually shaping my shots deliberately, I've been working in flex shots and flips and they're paying off huge. I'm still new and not very good, but I try to drill in the "flat and straight" routine for my friends' first couple outings if they ask me for tips.

[@shaunmccormack465]

I’ve spent 2 years watching disc golf videos on flight, angle control, hyzer flips, etc trying to figure it out and you just explained all of it in 9 minutes lol great video!!

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

Appreciate it good sir!! Hope it helps!! Always happy to go hit a field together and learn that way too!

[@TheCount314]

My Heat was so unstable. I tried to hyzer flip and have loved it ever since.

[@matthewdaley3607]

Was throwing hyzer flips inconsistently with a Buzzz. Fixed my nose angle issues and now it's my reliable tunnel shot. Took me about my first full season to feel confident with it.

[@tymic22]

I remember when I was learning I would throw under stable discs to try to keep them straight longer before the crash but as I got better my mamba that used to go straight and short when thrown flat began to turn a bit more and more every time I threw until it was turning into a roller. Eventually I started trying to counter the turn by throwing on hyzer and that was the start of a beautiful relationship between me and hyzerflips. I now have like 6 discs in my bag that I used specifically for hyzer flips and it is the shot that I am most confident on and I get the most distance on. Love the shot, everyone should learn how to throw it. Thanks for the video!

[@jstaverage]

Once I bought my first understable disc (and understood what that actually meant) I threw it on a baby hyzer mostly on accident. I was trying to throw a flat shot to see how the disc reacted and it came out with some hyzer flipped up to flat and came back. Once i saw this flight I knew i wanted to replicate it. Fast forward about a year and my Legacy Icon Nemesis is my big flipper! Love this shot and your content!

[@Linky609]

I think the moment I fell in love with a hyzer flip was when I first cracked 400 off the tee with a perfect flip up S curve.

[@orb2150tx]

Lies

[@reedcole5780]

My home course is usually pretty windy, a headwind will make discs flip up more easily and a tailwind will make it harder. Something to keep in mind as you are trying to figure this out. Even a slight wind can make the difference between the disc flipping too much or not enough.

[@joeythomes7139]

My lightbulb moment was when I started throwing putters, they would turn and burn when released flat. I started Hyzer flipping my base plastic p model s and here I am half a season later considering every hole under 300 a putter off the tee hole. Love your stuff Robbie

[@RyanDaoust]

Honestly it was the first time I threw a heat i was in fing love with hyzer flips!! They are now my favorite short to throw and tbh I have been convincing other on the course I play with to try hyzer flip lines over forehand lines.

[@martinpackard8091]

I would just like to say that I am new to the game and then you help me out a great deal I've watched almost all of your videos if not all I even have an old rug in my garage for practice you know what I mean.And you're humor is spot on .I just want to say thank you you're awesome.

[@davidgilligan3348]

The hyzer flip is one of my favorite shots and as you mention not only helps with distance but is great for wooded course. I can consistently flip my Leopard, Wraith and Beast, all DX plastic.

[@cbrammer32]

I loved your advice about starting with a very under stable disc and throwing it on hyzer and into a roller was the game changer for me back in the day. Hyzer flips never clicked with me until I started doing this in a field and I could watch and feel how the disc moved. I wish I would have had this advice back in the day. It took months of practice and trial and error that you summed up in 9 minutes. Thanks for the content and advice!

[@DeciXmus]

One of the coolest shots in Disc Golf. I have been playing a year and it took about 6 of those months before it clicked. Westside UnderWorld and BANG it happened. Now I use it all the time depending on how windy it is outside. Now after a year I can do this shot up to a DX Wraith which opened up so many new birdie chances. Well done Sir. Great Video for all players!

[@DatJoeGuy]

This was one of the best disc golf tutorials I’ve ever seen. Easy to follow and so informative. Thanks Robbie!

[@travis7433]

I found myself in the woods today and heard your voice. Threw dead straight Hyzer flips all day and hit all my gaps. Another awesome video

[@jonetpike6654]

That is crazy. I have just recently figured this out. I started to slowly incorporate understable discs since all the overstable ones I was throwing were doing exactly what you said about going left a lot (had a hyzer on them all the time). Now with the understanding of it all I am hyzer flipping the crap out of them and put a lot of distance on my throws and tons of accuracy in the woods. Watching your video just confirmed it and now I know the technical terms. Lol. Great video and thanks a bunch. 😁🤘🏻🤙🏻🌺

[@brinkmeyer420]

Oh not sure if anyone cares but the Westside disc Hatchet is excellent for hyzer flips for slower arm speeds.

[@orb2150tx]

I use the Hatchet and the Diamond for that very thing.

[@keeganweber1794]

Your way of explaining things is excellent Robbie! Keep it up! I learned something new today 👍

[@FamilyManDiscGolf]

The hyzer flip is my go-to shot

[@AngelAceMartinez]

I do love watching your videos I’ve been playing for a little more than a year now and loving every bit of it

[@RallyFanatic1221]

Oh I learned the Hyzer fllip by accident. I was given a Westside king to try and just assumed it was overstable for my arm. I hucked on hole 14 at Blue lake and wouldn’t you know it. The disc Stood up and flew straight then had a huge late tern drift to the right to around 425. It was incredible. I still have that King and have added a bunch if star Tern Archin and a Destroyer to enjoy this shot. Just beautiful to watch fly. Natural motion and easiest for me to get power. I haven’t figured the flex shot at distance because Why. HYZER-Flip!!!!!!!

[@zarronramsey7498]

The moment that got me into the hyzer flip was with the seer. When it was flipping over and burying itself I started using hyzer and sending it way out. It is now my roller disc.

[@joshlofdahl2565]

Thanks sooo much, I am 12 and this improved my game DRAAASTICALLY

[@Arodynamics]

You have one of the most epic board game collections I’ve ever seen!

[@John336NLT]

I am, green2discgolf. Another informative video! I have been throwing my star aviar, for a few weeks now. I can put it where i want, most of the time about 150'. I want to start to working distance. I have been throwing my DX Leppard. I am working on control and distance. I can throw the Leppard about 220' but I am all over the place. If I crank it hard it turns hard to the right. Now watching this video I think, I have been throwing Leppard on anhyzer. I had a seasoned disc golfer say that it may be time to move up to a disc with more speed, which I do have but dont throw them yet. I think will focus on the hyzer angle now and see if I get more distance out of my Leppard. Once I can get distance and control out of the Leppard will move to my Roadrunner...beep beep! 😂

[@jlb122587]

Great explanation, Robbie! I have been playing for three years now and the hyzer flip is my favorite shot shape. My go-to's are a Buzzz SS, Sidewinder, and the Mamba for this shot. Interested to hear what others throw for these as well.

[@alland.713]

very clear & informative thanks! can't wait to try this and throw it right into the lake.

[@brinkmeyer420]

I think Hyzer-Flips are the best looking shots. Sometime I just try to throw them on holes that don't even call for it. Lol. But in the woods, forehand or hyzer flip.

[@longway2pro]

I hit 479 on a massive hyzer-flip a couple weeks ago! It works guys! 😁

[@danielmakuch3094]

I had an OLD flippy mako3 that I stopped using because my flat shots would turn over - then I realized if I threw it on hyzer it would flip up and fly dead straight or if I powered up it would drift right and it became such a useful shot for me this summer and I couldn’t wait to Throw it. Trying to transition this shot up to more flippy fairway drivers for nailing tight tree lines for distance!

[@Linky609]

Also has the benefit of teaching angle and speed control which are game changers 👍👍 my shryke is becoming a favorite for the hyzer flip , a bit touchy but when it's right it goes for days. Also can use more stable discs at lighter weight for some hyzer flips that will come back harder.

[@bvwol]

Well done video. Concise and to the point. What helped me the most was a review of disc choice and being able to read what your disk is doing to tell you whether you have too much or too little hyzer.Thanks

[@camdenburgess4369]

When I first learned how to hyzer flip I instantly became addicted to disc golf and that's when I started watching non-stop jomez. Still my favorite shot to throw, great video Robbie

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

It is almost euphoric watching it just flip and fly!

[@DonnieRockett]

i've got some old beat up valkyries, sidewinders and archangels i thought were junk, but they flip up like gangbusters, and are my go to discs on some tight tunnel shots. once you get practiced up, the hyzer flip is money.

[@davidcaccamo8908]

First hyzer flip was by accident with a latitude 64 diamond gold plastic. Once that happened, I immediately recognized what it was. And then practiced it till I can get it to work most of the time. Super satisfying.

[@mcbriggs23]

My moment that clicked for me was discing down, and throwing a 7 speed discraft sting and innova leopard 3. I was hyzer flipping them as far as my beginner arm throwing my discraft hades and flex shot zeus. The hyzer flip allows the disc to do the work, and now I'm up to hyzer flipping some 10 speeds, and doing steep hyzer flips with my 8 speed discmania essence. Great video and even though I knew a fair amount about hyzer flipping you talking about midranges and putters has me wanting to go throw some flippy putters and mids tomorrow even though I don't do it often.

[@isaks3243]

I have started practicing this throw. not easy to get right as a beginner like myself but super rewarding now when I have gotten some hang of it and whenever they fly just how I want them to

[@tremagon]

Bought a leopard3 especially for flips and fell in love with the shot lol, I throw it almost every chance I get

[@adaumus]

I'm pretty new. Just bought a leopard3 today for this. Excited to get the hyzer flip for easier distance.

[@stevegood6131]

Wish I had this video when I started playing 3 years ago. I've seen hyzer flips, but could never get my discs to go, even the super understable ones (Think Innova Roadrunner, Dynamic Warrant). I was actually trying to figure out a flex shot and picked up a Westside King. It looked overstable by the numbers and I recently found good luck throwing my friend's Colossus. Take the King out to the first tee box and load up a flex, and the disc tanked straight roller on me. Since then I've cleaned up my form a good bit and can now flip up most understable discs. That King is still the best driver in my bag. Only thing i can get to clear 300 consistently. Big thing that you highlighted is that you need the arm speed for the disc you're throwing to flip up.

[@mantistoboggan4967]

Nose-up .vs. nose-down tip was an eye opener. Very well explained - 🤘🤘

[@charleslowery1639]

I’m about to try it, today ready to learn

[@Bunnybakery]

As always an amazing video, something that's helped me in the field is throwing a Wham-O style disc back and forth with a friend

[@juanital.2608]

Remarkable video! Thanks so much. I'm just starting to understand the whole hyzer vz anhyzer & this video gave me like 5 different learning points. Thanks man. Good content! I'll subscribe based off this one video alone. Good stuff

[@steenstry]

Really great explanation! You covered everything it took me years of trial and error to figure out. I can't speak for anyone else. I learned with a Destroyer. Never had the speed control for understable discs. Learned anhyzer flex JUST as you said! So I learned to hyzer flip using slower discs like mids and fairways instead of less stable, faster discs. Understanding wind helps. A hyzer flip is super handy in a head wind. Thanks for putting it all down so clearly.

[@RodneyDyer]

Throwing a DD Patrol (-3) and having it flip up was the first thing that got me going

[@eetsleepsk8]

I'm not new to hyzer flips. But the lightbulb moment for me was understable discs. My long time friend was flipping destroyers and I just don't have that kind of power. And his only advice was "any disc will flip if you throw it hard enough.". While he wasn't wrong, that helped me 0. I grabbed a -3, 1 virus and started flipping those. Then as I understood the shot more I could move to more stable discs.

[@innerlightflip]

Like Scott below, I threw a slight hyzer by mistake and it flipped up and flew dead straight. My disc was an Archer. I was amazed to get the same distance I was getting on 9 speed discs. I just stood there for a moment thinking, wow, that was so cool to watch.

[@chrisschuster9828]

Thanks man! I am missing this in my game. I have been trying to figure it out myself. This is incredibly helpful.

[@melaniebassa]

Thank you, this is very clear and understandable for a beginner. I now understand why my posture and shoulder position was affecting my flight. I believe I now know how to make it more consistent, we will find out next time I practice!

[@melaniebassa]

Follow up, this really has been a game changer for me. My rating has taken a large jump in a few months, and I’m getting more distance. Thank you for your clear explanations.

[@michaelensrud7136]

[@havediscwilltravel6180]

Another great video Robbie! I mostly only throw understable discs and the hyzer flip is my go to for most drives. One thing you did not bring up is wind. For a while I couldn’t figure out why some days I would get my disc to flip up and other days I couldn’t. Also why some days my hyzerflips turned into rollers. Now I know that if I have a headwind I need to use a more stable disc and a more understable disc in tailwinds.

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

That’s totally a fair point. Haha tried to pack in as much as I could during the time constraint while keeping ths video shorter. You nailed it though on the wind read!!

[@mawage666]

I need to learn how to do this on hole 4 at Silverview lol.

[@TheTechnatron]

One of the best tips I've learned is just to move your thumb on the flight plate, this will put more hyzer on the disc without changing your throw as much. This is for a backhand throw. Thanks for the vid as always.

[@mcbriggs23]

I move my thumb a bit closer to the flight plate for hyzers, is that what you mean?

[@TheTechnatron]

@@mcbriggs23 Yes, if you just hold the disc in your grip and then move your thumb to the middle of the disc and you will start to see it push down for a hyzer grip.

[@mcbriggs23]

@@TheTechnatron Weird, I've heard opposite and always move my thumb towards the edge of the disc where the rim of the disc can be felt through the flight plate for hyzers. I practice what you said for anhyzers, might need to try what you said you do!

[@TheTechnatron]

@@mcbriggs23 Cool, yeah just go to where it starts to point down and work from there for the sweet spot. You will be closer to the rim still but more into the flight plate.

[@TheTechnatron]

@@mcbriggs23 Did you get to test it out?

[@jimmyjam-vc6rf]

Not sure if this is the way to do it, but I think about how I flex shot and the annie I put to fight at a low speed. Hyzer flip is pretty much the opposite - you need to put hyzer to fight the high speed turn - and that pop or "flip up to flat" is the result of torque in the right place with the right speed.

[@shay.m7351]

First disc I ever hyzer-flipped was a first run Nuke. Amazing consistent hyzer-flip disc that would snap up to flat and ride perfectly straight for the rest of its flight. Sadly I lost that disc and haven’t gone back to the Nuke well to find another. Lately I am throwing the Sun Bird in premium plastic for a massive pushing hyzer shot. Love understable discs.

[@sommer_444]

Is that different from the Nuke SS? Because when i throw that anhyzer it goes forever.

[@mesk412]

I'm starting to notice my discs "flipping up" on their own as I'm gaining more speed. I'm gonna go out and practice and try to get this down. Flex shot is coming along nicely as well. Disc golf is the best.

[@paulrayburn9345]

Excellent Video, 👍

[@TheRetrospective]

great video, thanks

[@joeburns9688]

I've only gotten a disc to flip up a few times. Probably because of my form. I'm typically a forehand thrower too. My backhand shots are usually a flex shot.

[@oldguydiscgolf9631]

Great video Robbie! Thanks!

[@rrleclair]

I love the hyzer flip but tend to throw too hard and turn them over, or at least that's what I think I'm doing. I typically use a 4 or 5 speed disc (bounty or tangent) and turn them over too much but I jump to to say a 6 speed like a Relay and sometimes they don't flip up enough. Would love to see a video on how to control power and how to match that power to your chosen disc speed. Great content as always!

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

Definitely an interesting idea! I’ll put one together!!

[@Sebastionleo]

If you're not flipping a relay up enough, try a signal maybe.

[@The_TreeJay_Approach]

great job

[@jamesevans7537]

Love it when my disc flips to flat! Very cool feeling. What I want to know, maybe you can do a video on this, is how to throw a backhand (for right hander here) that turns right without burning over to a roller. I imagine this is on the same track as a hyzer flip, but for me, it's either flat to roller, or hyzer flip. I can't seem to get it to turn right with control. Awesome videos man!

[@jonflamming8775]

Maybe too late to this, but try a flex shot with an overstable disc (no turn and more fade, a lower fade number may help it stay straighter) Ideally if the disk is stable you should be able to throw it anhyzer, get it to flex right and then gradually fade back a bit. I'm newer at this but I think that would work for you. I just started using an EMac Truth from Dynamic that could fit that bill well: 5,5,0,2 OR you can throw a nice hyzer forehand. Bit of left first and more arc but depending on the shot it can also work very well

[@jamesevans7537]

@@jonflamming8775 if I could throw a forehand further than 12½ feet, I would try that! Lol Forehand is a fantasy for me. Terrible at that, hence the desire to throw a background that turns right...

Nice work as always, Robbie.

[@devlin76]

Fantastic video Robbie! I am still working on the distance piece with hyzer flips, but they are definitely my reliably straight shot. I currently use the DD Warrant and Maverick for hyzer flips.

[@chrismitchell4665]

The only thing I feel like I don't have down is a consistent power level for the hyzer flip. I'm assuming to "flip" the disc up, you need a little more power than usual... It seems like there's a really delicate balance between angle and power put on the disc. I find that when I hold the disc almost vertically it seems to flip to flat better for me than when I only have a slight hyzer. Slight hyzer on anything from a -1 to -3 all seem to flip all the way over for me and crash left (rhfh). If I release almost vertically with a strong snap, the discs seem to stand up to flat very quickly, but I need the power. I feel like I have to touch on a hyzer flip attempt, I need to throw almost max power, near vertical for the best "flips".

[@justryan2070]

My putter always faded. So I changed my form and threw lower and harder. It turned hard. That's when it clicked that flight path, speed and nose angle really affect hyzer flips. Before I could only fade my putter. Now I can fade, throw straight, turn, turn to fade or hyzer to turn. If I threw it hard and high enough I can hyzer to turn back to hyzer. Throw speed and nose angle really only clicked for me about a week ago.

[@williamburk5818]

M4 was the first disc i learned to hyzer flip with. Really smooth in the woods. I crushed a stalker almost 400 feet on a hyzerflip the other day! I mean, it was downhill and in a tailwind (and ob 😳) but it felt good!

Actually throwing an extremely under stable disc like the mamba allowed me to get the feel of a hyzer flip & how to throw a less under stable disc on a hyzer flip.

4:40 my discs often make bad choices! 🙄 That’s a cool drone shot! Was actually thinking, a real problem with DG vids is seeing the disc in the shot, it often disappears.

[@darrylnix2582]

Nice job 👍

[@andrewhelms1373]

For some reason hyzer flip is much easier for me when I release the disc almost vertical, as opposed to slight hyzer. I think it's bc when I throw slight hyzer I don't pull through as straight and end up swinging the disc out wide.

[@chrismitchell4665]

I'm totally with you. I wish more people would talk about this.

Beginner and Intermediate suggestion: There is DEF enough here for like SIX videos. And the narration is FAST. At the bottom of the notes, Robbie C. breaks the vid into six chapters. Try treating EACH chapter like an entire lesson. This is GREAT stuff and it's a shame to get lost.

First time i saw you i thought you where a younger version of Lars Ulrich. What disc do you recomend for a beginner yo hyzerflip. I never tryed to put angels on my disc been so focused to have a flat release. I can throw around 80-85 meters with putters and around 95-100 only with fairway drivers ( speed 9). The easiest disc to get here are Latitude 64 and Westside discs. Thanks again for the great content

[@matthewmelson06]

Great Explanation👍🏻

[@Oygoify]

What kind of disc would be good for this? Like what numbers (stats) on a disc should I be looking for?

[@Allanfan20]

So for a hyzer you release from low to high but do you do the same for a hyzer flip? It seems counter productive since you often need to throw them for tight tunnel shots. This is a shot I really want to get good at…. But completely suck at now. Lol

[@bobbybobman3073]

Hey, beginner here, how does one learn to back off a disc to get it to fly like is intended? I'm reliably having discs turn and burn on me, or even going full roller. All while going off some excessive hyzers stuff that feels like it's 45-50° out of the hand but is likely more like 30-35°. Yes I have some very understable discs in use, they used to be starter set type discs in base plastic. How do you learn to dial things back? Or do you just move on to slightly overstable stuff?

[@Bobsmoge]
