In disc golf or other disc-related sports, a hyzer [hahy-zer] is a throw which curves in the direction opposite of the arm used to throw. For a normal straight shot, you release the disc flat. To throw a hyzer, simply tilt the edge of the disc opposite your grip toward the ground. The more you tilt this edge toward the ground at release, the faster the disc will curve off in the hyzer direction. For an anhyzer, the edge is tilted up, and the disc curves in the same direction as the arm used to throw.
The terms are similar to hook and slice in golf. Hook shots curve in the direction opposite of the player’s handedness (i.e. right-handed players hook left), and slices do the opposite (i.e. right handed players slice right).
