I forced myself to learn anhyzer shots about a month ago. I never really understood the motion of it, or why I needed it. I can play disc golf with either hand, so I just used a left or right hand hyzer depending on what situation I was in. I’m naturally right handed, and learning to throw anhyzer backhand drives opened up a new world of discs I could use. Now I can rip over on discs that are more overstable and get some great shot shapes. As far as approach shots go, I love those soft touchy anhyzer shots that pan the whole way. Specially an understable disc on a soft backhand anhyzer that floats to flat.
I like the Get Freaky Zone cryztal flx for this shot specifically. It’s still very overstable but it has a great feel. I use the Raptor-Eye sockibomb slammer for longer approach shots that are maybe 100-175 feet away.
The anhyzer approach from ~50 to 100 feet is my favorite shot. You are mainly demonstrating anhyzer forehands in this vid, but I've found the backhand anhyzer with a really overstable mid (e.g. mutant, tactic, zoro, zone os, malta) to be the best way for me to run a long putt/approach and keep the disc near the basket. I give it a loftier toss than a typical flat or hyzer approach so it has room to make a fully developed S curve, and so it always lands pretty soft. Even though I'm usually pretty good with forehand approaches, the anhyzer backhand seems much more dependable to me for this kind of shot.
Fantastic job Robbie C!! Been dabbling for a couple of years with disc golf and now that I'm in East TN, I'm playing a lot more. Videos like this are extremely helpful, keep up the good work!
That was an outstanding display with varying discs!! I've played a bit with anhyzer approaches but this has given me incentive to practise more of these approaches.
That was as always well described, well tutored and well explained. Really great videos on the different type of shots. I''ve been using the a2 and 3 and the harp as well. Now it's time to try the glitch, Pure and not least the Inner Core. Gonna be fun. Thanks Robbie
I bought a Zone OS the day they were released and at first I just didn't vibe with it, so I took it out of the bag. Then I started watched my friends get themselves out of so many jams with theirs that I put mine back in the bag. I mostly just throw it on these forehand anhyzer shots and have really fallen in love with it. I play at the Fort pretty regularly so getting out of a jam is a quite common occurence.
I'm weird and throw lhbh and rhfh. I've been using the anhyzer approach for a long time now. For rfh 8 typically use a dx Rhyno, glow berg, or some form of zone. I bag 3 all in different plastic. I'll sometimes use something a little more neutral to understandable, but more often not that's for my lhbh. My other approach discs/ throwing putters are either a halo/luster invader or the inner core.
Thanks for mentioning other discs other than the Pig and Pole cat. My preferred putter for trying this shot would be my Watt or Warden. The Judge feels to bulky and the Harp may worth a try as well.
I love my Pig and I love my flex short range approach/upshot/long-putt's... I guess I have to try and find another Pig... Mines turning over (under-stable) after 2 years of it being my only putter... I even managed to Par a 770ft par5 with just the Pig (and I can bet I'll never be able to again). I have a Hyzer throw that no one really mentions... (And this is the closest I have seen yet)... As an old school Frisbee thrower (casual, not ultimate etc) I use a shot that has saved me thousands of times... and can be (for me) extremely accurate (I showed someone the other day with a throw to their disk about 50ft away and hit their disk (ok skipped away but only because it landed on plastic, not grass) So what is it.... An old school frisbee throw... Using a stable disk (I use an old Scorch), standing facing the target on a 45deg angle... Focus on the target, straight arm backhand from behind/beside the hip, across and up (angle dependant on the wind, usually 30-45deg) out to the side on an imaginary big arc to that target... (ok so I can 'Pocket power' it to get more distance but I can straight arm Hyzer over 200 ft) get it right and it almost always lands in line with your focus... throw harder/softer for range... The result.... For some interestingly bizarre reason.. I seem to land directly in line (maybe somewhere between a bit short/long) or... off to the left/right but near perfect range.... (I'd love to see the plot results as I feel I'm making a nice + pattern with the bulk just short or just left (I'm right handed and I find more are pushed left in the wind than shot down to the right... Best result was just this Sunday, 330ft from Tee, downhill about 80ft.... dang if I didn't smash through the chains for a 5ft putt from beyond... (No one watching so unfortunately "It didn't happen")
Hey Robbie, love the video, can't wait to use this technique next time I play. I'm fairly new at disc golf and summer I have been playing and watching a lot of disc golf on RUclips, I always hear you, Hunter and Trevor, and others say "overstable, stable and understable." I kinda know what that means, overstable goes left, stable goes straight, and understable goes right, on a righthanded backhand throw (which is what I throw normally). I was wondering how can I tell if a disc is overstable, stable, or unstable. Is it in the fight numbers or do I just have to throw the disc to figure it out? Thank you for your videos they've really helped me out while I'm learning to play this game.
This is my putting style also, I start out with a slightly lofty annie aiming to the upper left of the basket. As it is flattening out it is dropping and lining up with the pole. If I miss from far out it is dropping and landing flat every time.
@@chrisschuster9828 the tempo actually has a much lower profile, which gives it a different feel in the hand, and it is a tick less over stable and has a tick more glide (speaking from experience with both of these discs) ! 😊
Disagree with the Polecat option. As you demonstrated yourself in the video, Polecat is too touchy for this shot, especially with wind in play, many of those approaches will end up rolling away from the basket. Berg or a beat-in harp or zone are actually perfect. Key is to practice the shot with one specific disc instead of many different ones, because you want to really dial in one stability.
That backhand outside-in really shows the ultimate background... so familiar motion.
So nice to see a video on this! I actually found this shot by accident when I was stuck in the rough one time.

Anhyzer approach is something I’ve been trying since I nailed one on my first month of playing. I think this will really help me dial that in.
The Mint robbie... the mint 😢 16:07
But seriously, great one, really feels like this video is thought through!

I have just about every plastic made in the zone and even the most os cryztal does not fly near the same as a zone os.

The zone OS and the prodigy A2 are stables in my bag
my zone and toro get used very often for this shot
I got a torro for my birthday and it has helped my upshots so much
Toro is so good! One of the best feeling discs in my opinion
I bag of burg and a zone os, best approach duo, when I need more glide I grab the plasma envy

Yes I am having a good day, thanks for asking ❤
Need to keep improving on my game. Need to start binge watching my man Robbie C!
@15:48 yay! the järn! #1
The cryztal Flx Zone is great for these shots. FH approach shots from a scramble area are much less scary.
Thought I was the only one who said "holy cannoli" lol love it. Great video.
Imma abuse this even more with my Mr Putt now. Thanks.
i use this type of shots every time i'm playing. My prefered discs are entropy and deflector from MVP.
The deflector is just stupid overstable lol it's just made for anhyzer shots
Try a very understable putt and approach on a backhand an-hyzer . It has a better angle to flat that is slow and gentle for control.
Can't wait to get out and practice this

I use envys, zones, and fierces depending on how much I want it to fight or how shallow the angle to the green is
Good vid Robbie
I refer to these as the “Money shot”! Zone OS baby!! 🙌
You almost left out the Harp on purpose and I know this. Playing a dangerous game, Mr. RUclips Man.
Järn, Reactor and Otso PA3 are my typical choices for annie approach. Reactor is my swiss army knife of discs.
I bought a Zone OS the day they were released and at first I just didn't vibe with it, so I took it out of the bag. Then I started watched my friends get themselves out of so many jams with theirs that I put mine back in the bag. I mostly just throw it on these forehand anhyzer shots and have really fallen in love with it. I play at the Fort pretty regularly so getting out of a jam is a quite common occurence.
Damn what good work on the editor for that intro

Love 150ft anhyzer shots with my Star Toro. I can send that one down a tunnel 15ft wide almost 225 ft.
I just took out my justice for the zone os. The zone os is just more consistent IMO

Gah how did you leave out the Axiom Tempo? /s
You mean the fancy colored Entropy? 😂🙌
@@chrisschuster9828 the tempo actually has a much lower profile, which gives it a different feel in the hand, and it is a tick less over stable and has a tick more glide (speaking from experience with both of these discs) ! 😊
@@chrisschuster98283 REPLIES
Where did the word Hyzer come from? Any history on it? Thanks ✌🏼
I need to get a new justice, cuz my justice that I got used flies straight with a bit of finish barely overstable
Question. Why not just throw a straight backhand approach and get it close to the basket that way?
anhyzer forhand approach is mostly what i throw, cant go wrong with a razer claw 3
I use my A3, and my Watt.
I have a Mint, a Zone OS, and a Pig that I use for these types of shots. I wanted to dislike the Zone OS, but it’s way too useful 😂
My halo mako3 has done so much for my game. I like it more than the star or champion plastic
Not at all what he's talking about in this video but good on you😅
'I like turtles' vibes 😆
Anny Stego gang, there are dozens of us!
How do i get a Robbie c velcro patch for my bag ??? any1 Robbie ??
Check out Atlas disc golf supply
All you need is a Berg when approaching 😎
What are the chance i started watching a dude from my old stomping grounds! Grew up in Pinson!

I'm hoping that "Artie" isn't passed on because its often overlooked by Arthur.
Goofy RobbieC is the best RobbieC.
Zone os is not a good disc. At least for me, it does not fly or turn it just falls.
Disappointed that this was mostly about forehand approaches. I wanted to see some backhand tips there.
Forehand is lyfe
@0:22 what is a dora the explorer moment
