Disc Golf Lingo
Most people who play disc golf know the regular terms and language. There are lots of other words that people use for describing things that happen on the course, that are not in the dictionary, or in the general vocabulary for disc golf. I have gathered some interesting terms from other players, and from forums that I visit. I will share the common ones, as well as some of the better ones taht are not common that I have found.
Common disc language
Hyzer Releasing the disc with the edge closest to your body, higher than the other edge.
Anhyzer The outside edge is higher than the inside edge.
Overstabe The disc wants to hyzer into the ground when you release it. To make it not hyzer you must snap it and throw it hard, with a slight anhyzer.
Understable Can throw with lest spin, less snap to fly strait, will not normally go as far and is not generally good in the wind.
Turnover When you throw the disc hard with good snap, it will turn opposite the way it normally will turn. If your throwing RHBH it will turn to the right.
S Curve The flight of the disc starts as an anhyzer, then will hyzer at the end of the flight. Snap The amount of spin on the disc at release from your hand.
Driving The trow from the tee box.
Approach The shot from the drive to the basket.
Putt Throwing the disc into the basket.
Grip How you hold the disc when your throwing.
