Viking | Innova Champion Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The Innova "Viking" is a versatile fairway driver with a speed of 9, ideal for players transitioning from understable distance drivers to more controlled throws. With its comfortable, substantial rim and balanced stability, it covers a wide range of uses—from technical wooded fairways to open courses. The disc performs reliably for both forehand and backhand throws, offering a great balance between distance and precision. The Champion plastic stands out for its grip and durability, while the DX version breaks in faster and adjusts its flight characteristics accordingly. In flight, the "Viking" maintains a straight trajectory with a subtle turn that isn’t overly aggressive. Its glide of 4 provides ample float, while the moderate fade of 2 ensures dependable landings. The disc behaves similarly to a longer Teebird with a touch more turn, yet remains noticeably more stable than a Valkyrie. On hyzer releases, it holds the line reliably, while slight anhyzer angles allow for controlled turnovers. The stability makes it suitable for windy conditions without risking unpredictable turns. For intermediate players, the "Viking" serves as an ideal step toward more stable throws, while advanced players appreciate it for precise fairway shots and shaping specific lines. Beginners with some arm speed will find it an accessible fairway driver that forgives mistakes while still offering room for progression. The disc truly shines in tight wooded gaps, as its turn is measured enough to prevent excessive drift. The "Viking" excels in controlled throws between 80 and 100 meters, where reliability matters more than maximum distance.
