..To turn understable.

If you play ball golf..the best way to describe it...is the difference between a hook and a slice.

To flip is to go from an anhyzer to hyzer in flight (hyzer flip) or from hyzer to anhyzer in flight (anhyzer flip)

I'll be using RHBH as a base line throw

To flip a disc over...means to turn it over..Throwing opposite of how the disc would normally fly...all discs if thrown at a low speed will hyzer or hook. to flip over a disc either by force or the natural characteristics of the disc (if thrown with any speed or power) ...i.e understable...is to "flip" a disc over.

One doesn't flip a disc over into a hyzer.....that's the natural flight characteristics of the disc in the first place.

A disc that is forced over into an anhyzer or slice then turns back into a hzyer finish is known..I believe as a helix.

A disc thrown with enough power to start out hyzer or hook and "flips" into an anhyzer or slice then fades back to the left to finish out hyzer is known as a double helix..

Someone with more old school knowledge will have to confirm that...I haven't heard the term helix or double helix in over a decade.

Hyzer flip to me is a disc that is thrown hyzer at first.....then it flips over.

Anhyzer flip ...well that term shouldn't even exist..imo...just adds to the confusion. lol!!!
