[Innova] Replacement for Valk as distance driver?

Champ Valk in a lower weight would be my suggestion. Like others stated, why get a different mold when you like the one you're using
 
Star ORC!


But if you are happy with the Valk stick with it, just a fresh one like everyone is saying.

I love my Bolt. For an uber long disc it has a fairly thin rim (as do all of Lat 64 compared to the rest). I would say it's pretty Valk like. A few other that might work for you are the King, Havoc, and the Tern. The tuffest part was trying to pick which one to put in the bag :)
 
FWIW the Viking is a retooled Valkyrie (Valkyrie-X).


Another vote for a fresh Valk here.
 
New Valk. If you like the mold stick with it. At some point your old valk will get too flippy and you can start to really build a rotation of stages of wear.
 
Old pearly Orc. Great s-shot disc.

If you want a higher-speed disc, try a beat-up lighter weight *D Destroyer, or a Tern. (Havent thrown a Tern yet, however).

^^ This^^ Try and find you a 165 *D Destroyer, break that sucker in some, and watch it go. One of the prettiest shots I love to throw. I like how you crank on it and holds, or power it down for that Valkyrie range.
 
^^Forgive my attitude/tone of "voice" but how exactly does a beat Destroyer act like a beat Valkyrie?

EDIT: or a new Valk for that matter

:popcorn:

Never said it would act like a Valkyrie, But that the lighter *D that I use for turnovers when powered down works well for the Distance ranges I use to get out of a champ Valkyrie I had. I just use that lighter destroyer for TO now because it covers so many different distances. So the valk got taken out.
 
Replace it with a new Star Valkyrie and keep that one in the bag. Even though there are longer drivers, the Valkyrie is a predictable workhorse.

I have two Champ Valks in the bag at all times; one that still fades at the end of the flight and one that doesn't. This covers a wide variety of shots. I also carry a third totally beat Champ Valkyrie when I need a roller or play at high altitude.

The Valkyrie has a predictable life cycle that players can utilize to cover a variety of shots.
 
Gotta love this place. Ask about a Valk you get ideas ranging from a Destroyer to a Fuse. I feel much better about saying a DD Escape now.

Because *D are flippy as hell lol but if you snap it with hyzer it will pan out, turn wide, and fade at the end. You know....like a Valk does. :)

I got pissed off at Innova for sneaking the plus rim onto Valks so I went to the P-PD personally. The Viking is a good suggestion too though.

It's good to know I'm not alone, but I might need to start a support group. Give us our Valkyries back! Show me the PATENT #!

I recently picked up a Lucid Escape @ 170 and IMO the flight is more like a wraith or faster Teebird than a valkyrie, but maybe at lighter weights it would fit the bill.. The escape is making a serious run at the wraiths/teebirds in my bag right now though. I would suggest a relatively lighter Krait, Surge, or a heavier Valkyrie.
