Change to left-handed, back-hand by pressing the H-key. Note: for a right-handed player, this lets you throw a side-arm, or side-flick shot. Keys 1 thru 9 change the angle of the disc at release. This is useful for curving around obstacles and mandatories. Another reason to throw a hyzer or anhyzer is that it eliminates one side of the course. Nearly every professional ball golfer plays a draw or fade consistently. This could be one reason why many of the top professional disc golfers throw over-stable discs. It assures that a poorly-thrown shot will at least curve one direction only, and end up on the same side of the fairway every time. Another reason to change the angle of release is to attain maximum distance. Try throwing an under-stable disc with a hyzer release. This type of throw should glide farther than throwing with a flat release.
