The Viking Discs Odin is the fastest mold Viking makes, rated 12 / 5 / -1 / 3 — a true S-curve on paper, standing up through the middle and finishing hard left.
Reports on how it actually flies do not agree. Infinite reviewer averages of 12 / 5 / -1.2 / 2.9 confirm the rating almost exactly, while forum discussion around its release describes it as considerably more understable than rated, particularly in Armor plastic. Viking’s own description is straightforward: right amount of stability and glide, flies straight, with a strong fade that bites at the end. The practical takeaway is that plastic choice matters more on this mold than on most of the range, and that a slower arm will not see the turn at all.
That puts it in the maximum-distance and flex-shot slot for a full arm. Thrown flat and fast it holds the right-drifting middle a long time before the three fade takes over, and five glide carries it. At anything less than full power the turn never shows up and you are throwing a 12 speed that fades out early — a shorter, more predictable flight than the numbers suggest.
Viking Discs is a Finnish manufacturer naming its lineup for Norse figures and imagery; Odin is the chief god of the Norse pantheon, which is a reasonable place to put your fastest driver, though Viking does not publish reasons for its names. PDGA approved in September 2020, alongside the Fenrir the newest mold in the range. Made in Ground, Storm and Armor.
How much the Odin turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the Odin was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
