What's kept me from trying out a Star Valkyrie is that it seems the ones I've seen had pretty flat tops. I like DX Valks with a little dome to them and was thinking the flatter Star ones would be more projectile, without the glide I'm looking for. But that's just guesswork - I don't actually know how a Valkyrie with a flat top would fly.
Are you getting the big glide with a relatively flat topped Valk or should I keep my eyes open for a domey one?
I have 6 or 7 that I throw, Dx, Champ, and Star.
The Dx are the flippiest, easy to turn over, good when you start throwing Valks, they have excellent glide.
My experience is the flat ones go the same distance as the domey ones do, but its a different line.
The flat tops fly more like Wraiths for me, straight.
More of a " J " flight, less " S " than the domey ones.
They seem to be faster out of the hand, easier to accelerate quickly with some snap, without the risk of turning over as much.
I think the flat tops are better when you gain some experience with Valks, with less high speed turn, they require less fairway width to do thier thing.
Its easier to throw an anny with a flat top, then it is to throw a full power hyzer shot with the domey disc, so the flat top can work more lines.
With my stacks of domey Valks just collecting dust, now I just look for the flatty Star discs.
