About the Berserker

Berserker: Viking Discs’s understable distance driver

The Viking Discs Berserker is the understable end of Viking’s distance line. Ten speed with three turn means it flips up on its own — you do not have to muscle it flat first.

Five glide is what turns that shape into actual distance rather than just a wide arc. Viking pitches it for long anhyzers, rollers, and S-curve distance for beginners, and Infinite reviewer averages of 9.9 / 5.1 / -3.2 / 1.7 read it as slightly more understable and slightly less fading than the rating. On a hyzer it stands up and holds a long right-drifting line before the fade returns; flat, it drifts the whole way. Ten speed is still 10 speed, so a developing arm gets the turn but not the full distance.

That puts it in the turnover and roller slot for stronger players, and in the first-distance-driver slot for everyone else. A third-party review likens it to a well beaten-in, understable Innova Valkyrie. Wind is where it stops working — three turn into a headwind will flip past where you aimed and keep going.

Viking Discs is a Finnish manufacturer whose lineup is named for Norse figures and imagery; berserkers were Norse warriors described in the sagas as fighting in a trance-like fury, though Viking does not publish a reason for any individual name. PDGA approved in January 2017 under the brand’s first certification number. Made in Ground, Storm and Armor.

How much the Berserker turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
