  • Speedi 9

    The first number is the speed of the disc. It can range from 1-14. Putters are rated 1-3 and are designed to function at low speeds any player can use. Mid range discs are 4-5 and require more speed when thrown to achieve their desired results. A fairway driver will be speed 6-8, these discs fly mostly straight. Discs that are speed 9 and above are classified as distance drivers. Throwing a distance driver takes a significant amount of power to get up to speed, players are rewarded with additional distance if they learn to control these discs. New players are cautioned that speed does not equal distance. Due to the difficulty of controlling higher speed discs, a beginner could find that a light weight disc with a speed of 6 or 7 could fly farther for them than a max distance driver with a speed of 13. In fact most new players should learn by throwing putters only so they can develop the proper form. After a few weeks they'll begin to get reliable results and are ready ×

  • glidei 4

    This second rating is numbered 1 – 6. Glide describes a disc’s ability to remain in flight. Discs with higher glide ratings will fly further than discs rated lower in this category. A high glide rating is good when the goal is distance, but can have the wrong effect for putts and approach shots. Sometimes overshooting the basket can be worse than not making it far enough. Low glide ratings such as 1 or 2 are popular with upshot putters because they don't fly for distance but for a little extra control. Glide is different for different kinds of discs as well. A putter with a glide of 4 will stay airborne much longer than distance drivers with a glide of 4 ×

  • Turni -2

    Third in Innova’s flight rating system is turn. Turn is rated from 1 to -5?, with -5 being the most understable. The lower the numer, the more striking turn will result. A newer, slower-throwing disc golfer using an understable disc with a ‘high’ negative turn rating will enjoy great distance, as the disc isn’t going to fade as quickly. Also, players whose farthest throw is 200 feet or less probably won’t notice any turn in the flightpath. Once a player gets more speed and power, they will see their understable discs start turning to the right at the beginning of the flight before fading to the left at the end. Discs rated -4 or -5 are popularly used for rollover or roller throws by experienced players. Some discs have 0 turn which means that they'll start to fade when they run out of speed during the flight and at no point will they turn. It's important to carry at least one disc with a high turn rating in your bag for rounds. ×

  • Fadei 2

    This last rating category ranges from 0 to 5; with a disc rated 0 being the straightest finishing, while a disc rated 5 fading the most during the last portion of the flight. Even discs rated lowest in turn will still ‘fade’ as the disc slows at the end of the flight. A disc with a higher fade rating is useful for a hole with a dogleg. Straight finishing discs are great for control, discs with little fade are normal. If you're a Right-hand backhand thrower you'll find that almost every disc wants to fade to the left at the end of your flight. Discs with a 4 or 5 fade rating are excellent in heavy winds. They sacrifice a little of the distance but make sure that the disc won't do anything unexpected. Discs with a low fade are more susceptible to being affected by the wind. ×

Product Description

The Innova DX Valkyrie has long been one of the most popular and longest distance drivers in the game. Since its release in August of 2000 the Valkyrie has been ruling the air for players of all skill levels. This disc held the record for nearly 10 years as the furthest flying disc, thrown 820 feet by Christian Sandstrom back in 2002.

The flight path of the Valkyrie is dependent on how you want to use it. It's moderately flippy, so players with low arm speeds are going to get good turn and distance right away. If you throw it on a hyzer you're going to enjoy the Valkyrie flipping up to flat and hyzering out, this hyzer flip is a way to get amazing distance. An advanced player with high arm speed will be able to get the Valkyrie to be a roller. That shot takes branches out of the equation and can lead to monster drives. The Valkyrie can be thrown with a forehand or backhand grip, either works well with this disc. There's not as much glide with this disc, so you'll want to throw it where you want it to land, not expect the disc to glide to its final destination. This disc is sometimes referred to as a "Valk" so don't get confused by other players. You'll love throwing this turnover disc and seeing how you can shape the shot.

DX Plastic is the base plastic from Innova. At Sabattus Disc Golf we make sure to keep our prices low and competitive, because we know you're going to throw these discs. DX is great because it comes in the widest variety of weight, if you want something light that may not be offered in another plastic like champion, pro, gstar, or star, take a look at DX. It also beats in much faster making the disc more understable. That will give a player more turn in the flight of their disc.

If you want a distance driver that's available at a great price, can handle a variety of shots, will beat in quickly, and fly how you want it to. Take a look at the DX Valkyrie from Innova, it's definitely got a spot in your bag.
