About the Valkyrie
The Valkyrie is
a World Record holding distance driver. It is an easy to
learn
disc, and
in lighter
weights will give newer players extra distance. Lighter
weights also give players extreme range when thrown downwind,
while maximum weights can give excellent upwind distance.
The Valkyrie’s high speed turn and flight characteristics
make it great choice for long range turnover shots and
rollers.
About INNOVA's Star Plastic
INNOVA'S new Star Line is created with a special blend of grippy, resilient polymers. Star Plastic offers the same outstanding durability of our regular Champion Plastic, plus improved grip like our Pro Plastic.

 Innova
Team Champion member, Christian
Sandstrom, of Sweden, shattered the
distance record April 26, 2002 at "Big
D in the Desert. His record throw of 250
meters (820 feet) was made
with a 164g DX
Valkyrie. Former team member
Ken Jarvis was first to break the record
with a throw of 247 meters. Ken's record
lasted a mere 45 minutes! The
previous record of 217.05m (712 feet) had
been set by Chris Voigt of Germany.

Looking for:
More high speed stability? Try
a Champion Viking.
More glide? Try a Champion Sidewinder.
Faster? Try a Star SL or Star
Beast.
Slower? Try a Dragon or Champion
Eagle.
More Grip? Try a Pro Valkyrie or a DX
Valkyrie.
Other Speed 9 discs? Firebird, Viking, Sidewinder, Roadrunner.
This is my favorite driver. It is an incredibly versatile
disc for me. It works very well with my throwing style.
I tend to throw low and the Valkyrie gets great distance
with low thrown shots. I typically carry three Valkyries
with me during a round (more if there is water). One
is beat and used for long turnover shots. The others
can be used for hyzers and subtle helix shots.
