In person it's very easy to be mislead into thinking a shot was an anhyzer release because you immediately pay most attention to the disc turning a lot 1 second after release instead of actually seeing the instant of release angle.I'm pretty curious about this too.
I am doubly curious because I live in CO and everyone throws some pretty darn true anhyzer angles fairly often here. But I also see pros throw big annies, so Im not sure what this 'anhyzers are actually almost hyzer' concept is trying to say.
Like if anyone I know saw this shot in person at
8:58
They'd probably think and say it was released on a decent amount of anhyzer if they were just answering with their first impression.
Most seemingly anhyzer shots in pro play that I pause are flat at most and often small hyzers that flip to turn very quickly after the moment of release. This is a good exercise to do when watching, you start to realize how often the release angle is hyzer when your first impression was anhyzer and how often the commentary is about anhyzer even when the release angle is hyzer.
The exceptions are big sky anhyzers over trees with an OS disc released on anhyzer, but when this shape is done with the intention of panning and landing flat instead of fading out earlier, it's much more likely to be released closer to flat or on a little hyzer due to the disc being less stable.
Other than that it's like utility type shots, scrambles, or when a tight wooded line really forces an S curve where the fade is important.
Here's an rare choice for a straight tunnel shot from Ezra A at 17:27 that actually is anny on release
Here's a hole where the default play is, as commentators say, to "get the disc on anhyzer". They use the term liberally though, I think, to not necessarily mean release on anhyzer, but to at some point have some turn.

They all release it on hyzer. Maytt O might be flat but if it's not flat it's a tiny bit of hyzer.
R2 8:19 same deal:
Final round 9:40 all hyzer:
This hole is a good example of forcing anhyzer at 21:17 but we only get a small amount of anhyzer.

Most of the time people say "big/a lot of anhyzer" it's the shape that is big anhyzer and not the release angle that was a lot of degrees of anhyzer with sky shots being the main exception, imo.
