Get a Glo Destroyer. They stay true longer and have a tackiness that the Champ plastic doesn't. All my other D's became flippy with time, but my Glo D has remained pure.

I have two opto line Havoc's. One is pinkish and the other is blue. Both are the same weight yet the blue seems to be more stable than the pinkish. IMO, the Havoc is a faster disc than the Destroyer but slightly less stable. The Havoc is extremely easy to throw long distances with little effort.

I have a GL Havoc and I do have to be careful not to turn it over. I like the Flow or Vulcan. They both seem less likely to get torqued over and are just as long. I haven't thrown a large sample size of any of these discs but this is what I've seen. Destroyers are far more stable then any of those and I haven't found them to be very useful to me only throwing ~375 unless it's into a pretty strong headwind.

This was under a ton of conditions you won't be experiencing. Plus, you need to throw super high to achieve that. Plus, all-out distance throws are very diff. than golf distance shots. While I'm all about valks, I cringe when people pick it as their distance driver based off of the WR.

i had a flow and expected way more stability out of the havoc. I treat my havoc like i did my katana and it works great. If you throw it with the expectation that it's going to flip, then adjust. This thing hyzer flips amazingly and can so a sweet s curve with the right amount of air under it.

i know its hard to read a sentence completely sometimes. and yes the havoc is capable of more distance, as the Valkyrie takes a great deal more skill to throw on those huge distance lines.
