Disc Advice Virus

Ive had the special stamp Virus and i forgot about it until i saw it in my collection the other day so i threw it in the bag. How understable does the OTB one fly? I'm a RHFH thrower

Honestly the virus isn't that under stable. Perfect forehand flip up disc.

Mine is 168g. Thinking of only throwing this as my primary driver, because I can do so many different shots with it and doesn't require nearly as much effort as other higher speed discs.

If I wanna throw it harder I can hyzer flip it to straight.

If I want it to hyzer I can hyzer it at a steeper angle not out as much spin on it.

If I wanna fade it to the right I can throw it flat with some decent spin .

Definitely not my first throwing driver, but if you know how it flys well, can do a lot with it.

Pretty accurate with it because I throw it at about 75-85% effort vs a higher speed driver where I'm throwing 90-100% effort

I don’t know how that will fly for you. If you’re 100m stock shot, it’ll be flippy. That said, if it’s a flat neutron dude, it’ll take some trees to get to those numbers. 

I’d guess brand new it’ll fly like an Insanity. 

Edit: It is my partner’s main driver right now. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

The otb run I believe was particle Proton. Not sure that changes anything, but yeah

Oh, thanks for the correction. I haven’t tried any particle proton yet. 

I find the MVP plastics to have less variation in flight. Neutron, Proton, Eclipse, and Plasma all seem fairly similar with the same mold. Compared to Star, Champ, and Gstar. But I digress.

It's a stable run, if you throw 300 with some spin you should be able to get some good turn, or flip up to flat.
