About the Valhalla

Valhalla: Viking Discs’s stable distance driver

The Viking Discs Valhalla is a stable 12-speed distance driver with nothing understable in it. Zero turn and two fade means it holds whatever angle you give it and finishes left — it will not flip, even at full power.

Of the eleven Viking molds this is the one that matches its rating most closely: Infinite reviewer averages come back at 12 / 4.9 / 0 / 2.1. Five glide keeps it from dropping out of the air the way some overstable drivers do, so the distance is genuinely there when the speed is. Viking’s own advice is to start working with it on hyzer throws, which is a fair reading of a disc with no turn to help you.

That puts it in the power-player and headwind slot. It is a hyzer-flip driver for a strong arm and a dependable finisher for anyone who can get it up to speed. Twelve speed is the barrier — thrown under speed it never reaches the flat part of the flight and simply fades out early, well short of what the numbers promise.

Viking Discs is a Finnish manufacturer naming its lineup for Norse figures and imagery; Valhalla is the hall of the slain in Norse myth. Viking publishes no explanation for individual names. PDGA approved in October 2017. Made in Ground, Storm and Armor.
