Flight Formula: Innova Viking

The Innova Viking has been called our “most underrated disc” by Innova’s founder, Dave Dunipace, but has been steadily growing in popularity in recent years as newer disc golfers discover these older gems for the first time. This true “control driver” was first released in 2003 as a beefed-up complement to the record-setting Valkyrie, and continues to win over disc golfers worldwide.

The [9|4|-1|2] Viking rests at the heart of the foundational [9] speed category. More stable than the iconic Valkyrie, Sidewinder, or Roadrunner, yet straighter and easier to control than the Firebird, Thunderbird, or Savant, the [9] speed Viking lays right in the “sweet spot” for most arm-speeds.

Fast enough to get way down range with its controllable [4] glide, the Viking’s easy [-1] turn gives it just enough room to flip up flat before the dependable [2] fade brings it back to center. In the experienced disc golfer’s hands, the Viking can hold a precise hyzer or anhyzer line, or just stay predictably straight down a long, narrow fairway. The Viking is the definition of versatility when it comes to disc golf drivers.

Give it some snap and the Viking carries forward generously on a forehand line. You’ll see it flip up for a second then settle back towards the target. It’s easy to read what the Viking is going to do.
Flat backhands sail straight before curving gently back. Low hyzers are likely to get a big skip as they continue their forward progress. Get the wing up and nose down for longer, flexing power distance throws. Don’t be afraid to hit it hard; the Viking can handle the torque.

Whether you’re a seasoned vet looking for a neutral driver to perfect your bag, or a beginner trying to find more control on your distance throws, the Viking might just be the best tool for the job.

Don’t overlook this [9] speed workhorse. Conquer new territory in your disc golf world with the versatile, controllable, and still underrated, Innova Viking.
