I like to hyzer flip it through the woods (how I got my ace) and for big, long annys.

Count me in with the "It's crap" crowd. It's unpredictable when it gets up to speed so it encourages powering down when it's not necessary. So you either throw far enough to make it squirrley, or you'll never get to that point becasue it encourages you not to. It's also the reason I don't recommend the Archangel or Dragon. The only reason to throw those discs is if you never plan on throwing more than like 250'.
so, to recap: annies, tailwinds, open spaces, and it might be crap until it's broken in. got it.
Not all discs are created equal. Some are much more sensitive to small changes in nose angle and speed which makes them less predictable. Does that mean they're impossible to throw? Obvoiusly not. Does that mean they will be more difficult to throw consistantly? Most certainly. Why choose a disc that's less predictable when there are plently of alternatives? There's a reason you see more Innova pros throwing Roadrunners and Champ Leopards than Sidewinders, Archangles and Dragons. They're all understable discs, but some are just better than others. If they were all equal the distribution would be different.Sorry Garu, it's the archer, not the arrow. My Sidewinder is pretty predictable, maybe I have a freaky mold.
Still trying to figure out how to throw it consistently but like most others I use it for long annies and hyzer flips. Usually I prefer to throw my valkyrie for a hyzer flip as I can get more consistent accuracy with comparable distance.
However, I have thrown my sidewinder a LOT farther than the valk and even faster drivers like my wraith and force on the occasion that it flies perfectly... which isn't often enough really.
