The Innova Champion Glow Valkyrie held the world distance record for a decade, a speed 9 distance driver with enough high speed turn to make it approachable well before a player has the arm speed of a professional.

Flight Numbers: 9 / 4 / -2 / 2

Champion Glow is Innova's ultra-durable premium blend with a phosphorescent charge built in, so it holds a strong glow for night rounds while keeping the same long-term stability as standard Champion plastic. It resists wear for years and will not turn floppy the way base plastic does after heavy use.

A flat release with moderate power turns the disc smoothly to the right before a light fade closes out the flight, which is what makes it usable for players who cannot yet generate the speed for a fully stable driver. Long, low-power arms in particular find real distance here that other speed 9 discs will not give up, and advanced players use the same turn for turnover shots and rollers once their form is developed enough to control it. It is somewhat beginner friendly, though a true first-timer may still be better served by a lower speed disc.
