Early on I got a 150 class Leopard & it was the 1st driver that ever really work for me. I would also suggest a Panther... not quite a driver, but not quite a mid.

Or...you could try this. Pick up a pair of Star Leopards at about 167-169g. Find an empty park with 2 trees about 80-90 paces apart. Thats around 240-270'. Throw back and forth between your target trees 10x. That'll get ya 20 reps in one direction, 20 reps in the other. So you get the reps to start grooving your toss and you get the feel for opposite wind direction.
All n00bs should learn to throw a Roc. I went almost 2 years without one, trying to throw big drivers. My game, much like my Destroyers and Wraiths, stalled. Picked up a domey glam-roc and have been watching my accuracy improve so much that I must invent a word for it. My accuracy has improved DRAMASTICALLY!
Look for videos on form and technique.
Hold of for a little while on the SW and Valkyrie. Get used to the Leopard, and then move up and purchase a TL or a Teebird. Get to know these discs intimately, and once you feel like you are getting all out of them that you can (better than 300' or so), then move up to something faster.
And don't just play courses; you won't get better as fast as you could if you head out to a field and practice, practice, practice. You'll only be cheating yourself if you want to get better but only play rounds.
