New DX Valkyie= super flippy?

I just got 2 new DX Valkyries that are super flippy. I love my champ and my older valks art like this. Has anybody else run Into this or am I just throwing them wrong?

I experienced the same thing with 2 new flight ratings stamped Valks, but not with older ones.

I've never known a DX Valk that's not flippy if you throw more than 300'.

Me either. Even my Champ Valk is super flippy, but it is used. I have never thrown a new Champ Valk.

Word,but champ valks are definitely not flippy,not brand new ones,unless you really bomb them ,or our definitions of flippy are different.

Not having a problem with mine I got a couple weeks ago. Turn a bit but fade back. Still need to beat on them a bit. At the same time I CAN turn them over for a short throw when I want, I just don't have a problem with them flipping when I don't want them to.

I recently got my first DX Valkyrie after loving the champions and stars that I've thrown. Even at max weight its a roller out of the box. My first throw was a hyzerflip, I didn't feel my wrist roll, and it went out about 50ft on a pretty flat line and flipped and rolled about 470'. It's staying in the bag.

Valks are my go to disc. I can get my champion out about 350 on a hyzer flip and about 275 laser beam straight. I've been using the DX valks for my huge anhyzers but these new ones are crazy understable. They are the new flight rated ones so maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe ill stick with my champ and find a new anhyzer bomber...

I'm new here, but I hope its ok to bring this thread back from the dead. I just picked up a new DX Valk and it is ridiculously flippy. So flippy it was hard to keep it in the air even if I put it on a steep hyzer angle. I wondered if it was me, so I threw some Leopards, TBs, and Comets. Putting the Leos and TBs 300+ on a straight line, the Comet more like 275 so I don't think it was me.

I guess I could use this disc as a turnover disc, but I don't really need one and this disc turns like a super beat Sidewinder with less glide. Just wanted to get the word out about this.

Beware the DX Valk.
