I carried a Tachyon 4.1 for a few years and loved it. If Champ Vipers were easier to get, or the MOAB had come out a year sooner I would definitely bag one.
 
Graduated from the tachyon lf 4.1 to the champ viper. It's easier to find, more durable, and equally useful.
 
One of uncle uses a Viper in DX and then has or had a Champion one he found on a local course. His Champion one is not like the ones they make now with logo look but a Champion style logo from the 2000's.
 
I was flipping through a used bin and found a Champ Viper. Somebody wiped the stamp. Why would you do that? Anyway, $6 in good condition so I bought it.

I have no use for this disc. It overlaps with a bunch of discs I already have. It adds nothing to my bag. It should be sitting on a shelf in my basement.

I love throwing it, though. It's in the bag. I throw it all the time. I have no idea why, it's a just Viper.

I need help. :|
 
It's really kinda dumb, but I've been throwing it in places where I usually threw a Sentinel and places where I usually threw a Banshee. The Banshee I still use for sidearm/utility shots but I've pretty much stopped throwing the Sentinel. I'm not emotionally prepared to declare a Viper as my OS mid, so the Sentinel is still in my bag. For now. I've been kinda waiting for the Viper to skip and give me some trouble, but I haven't had that issue yet.

I'm kinda tempted to dig out a DX Viper and give it some throws now.
 
I really like to sidearm vipers

I bagged the champ and a couple DX for a while
 
I liked these a lot but once I found the trident I don't need to switch back. Trident feels way better for forehands and is available in premium plastics. Of course it did have to go OOP.. :'(
 
At this point, I don't see the Viper as a particularly unique disc that I can't live without. There are plenty of options to put together a solid bag and NOT have a Viper in there. I actually got rid of Vipers for X-Clones in '96. Never looked back. Replaced X-Clones with Banshees/EXP1's in '98. Still throw them. The Viper thing is a huge goof for me, but they are fun to throw.

Can't forehand them, though. They wobble like all Hell. It's the archer. :|
 
Though they were. Yeah. I just wanted to see where the wing hits by comparison.

Straight curiosity. I like the MOAB.
 
It is the ViperX mold, sorry. not the standard viper mold

Viper X was the 4.1 Tachyon. I believe. Modified Viper. Viper X. Flatter and more OS. I believe.

That's why I wanted to see them side-by-each.

It is cool to hold a normal viper next to the X. The X is much more blunt and the rim is taller
