Hi,
I'm not really that good at disc golf (even though I've been playing for 16 years). I got a Valkyrie this year and like it. I throw it (RHBH) on average about 275 feet (with some rare throws up to 315 feet) with what I think is a gentle S-curve. But when I try to throw it farther (by reaching back further, or rotating more, or following advice I read) I usually end up turning it over (or maybe just an anhyzer?) and it curves to the right and never comes back--ends up at about 220-260 feet. So, I went to the Innova web site to look for another disc. I can't really throw the very fast drivers, so I tried to go one step up from the Valkyrie. I thought this would be the Viking, which according to the numbers should be slightly harder to turn over than a Valkyrie and should fade harder to the left at the end. But when I throw my Viking with the same throw as my Valkyrie, it turns over immediately and goes way to the right and flies much shorter. I've thrown the Viking a couple of hundred times now and all it does is turn over and go short. In fact, as far as I understand the terms, it is the most understable disc in my bag (including my putters and mids). Is this the way a Viking is supposed to be? I know I am throwing it horribly like everything else, but still....
Thanks for any input.
