Well, there's one anecdote I'll add.
When I watch the better rated played bomb the pin, I don't really see their placement end up any better than mine. Now, there's a big skill gap between the local hot shots and top pros, but a lot of what drove me to post this question boils down to me not really seeing a better result come from the big hyzer vs my clumsy hyzer flip.
A few hundred throws isn't really a trend, but I'm not sure I completely buy in that a big hyzer is the highest percentage shot. The big arms can drive the distance 100% of the time with 90% placement. I'm driving the distance 90% of the time with 90% placement.
It's interesting to read everyone's take on this. These are the kinds of situations where I like to throw 3-4 discs a few times a week and see how the results vary. Glad I have days off in the middle of the week when the course isn't busy.
