Might as well get the thread started before someone else does.
I'm hoping it will be somewhat similar to my SE Valkyrie that I've almost lost several times.

Haven't thrown it myself but was with Stan Mcdaniel the other day when he was tossing his around. Comments I heard from him.
"the longest disc I've thrown"
"just have to remember that it will turn over on it's own and then come back"
And he was throwing proline orcs for distance. To give you a reference, he crushed this thing 3 times on the 1000 foot + hole 11 at renny gold and then putted for a 4.

I thought it felt kinda similar to a Champ Sidewinder. Lots of glide, and easy to turn.

I just got mine in but haven't thrown them, Burl said they remind her of her Pro Starfire but go as far.. I can't wait to try it out!! :D
Anyone that throws sidearm have one of these? I wondered if they held a decent sidearm line, or if they are huge turnover discs.

well from throwing the JK Valks a year or so back i can tell you that if you are throwing sidearm you definately don't want to throw this disc.. it turns when you throw it backhand.. so for sidearm it would be a roller i'm guessing...
Just my opinion.

Yeah, it's too flippy for 99% of peoples' sidearms out there. Maybe as a roller, or to get a big turn out of some trouble. Now if you're thowing sidearms with a JLS or a Sidewinder, then maybe you'll fit in that other 1%.
Nope, I throw some of those overstable CE valks sidearm. Moved on to the Starfire, and am very happy. Could I use the pro valk as a long turnover disc, or would it flip too quick?

2nd run CE valks are good sidearm valks.
I would imagine it might turn too quick for a long range turnover disc unless you threw it like a dx stingray.

its a really nice long turnover disc. i typically use a Pro TL for my flip shots, but i found that this disc is better for shots that need to flip even more. (its a valk after all)
i have found that the new pro plastic is kinda of like a nicely beat-in champion disc. nice if you can figure it out!
