These questions come out of difficulty I've been having during my fieldwork recently. I have a flippy Destroyer that I've been tossing around trying to get clean, long hyzer flips. This disc is touchy enough that if my form isn't on point the disc will turn and burn, but If my form is good then it will do that late, smooth turn.
The problem started when I started trying to put more hyzer angle to compensate for some wind. As soon as I tried to put a deeper hyzer angle on it I could feel myself falling out of posture and the disc would start on the intended angle, but because my balance was off it would flip and burn really quickly. What I believe I was doing was tilting my upper body too far out over the toes, and not staying in the upright, stacked posture SW is always preaching.
It clicked that this might be the issue so I very consciously kept my nose over knee over toes, and what do you know? Clean releases. Late, long hyzer flips.
Here are my follow up questions:
1) How should footwork and nose > knee > toes positioning change for different release angles?
2) What does ideal footwork look like for flat, hyzer, and anhyzer shots look like?
I have provided a masterpiece illustration as a starting point.
This image assumes a flat release of the disc, and this is intended to be the position of various body parts at the time of disc release.
Is this image correct, and how would it change for different release angles?
