Viking Barbarian Flight Chart
The Viking Discs Barbarian is a stable fairway driver built for control, consistency, and reliable fade. With flight numbers of 7 | 5 | 0 | 2, it offers a straight, torque-resistant flight with a dependable finish—ideal for both wooded fairways and open-field placement shots. Reviewer feedback highlights its straight mid-flight, strong predictability, and performance across all Viking plastic types, especially Storm and Armor blends.
How the Barbarian Flies for Newer Players
For beginners or developing throwers, the Barbarian will fly straight for a short distance before beginning a moderate, reliable fade. The disc’s 0 turn rating means it resists unwanted turnover, making it easier for newer players to learn controlled hyzer finishes. It’s not a max-distance driver for low-power players, but it provides a trustworthy flight path in a wide range of conditions.
Barbarian Flight Path for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediate players unlock the Barbarian’s full flight: a neutral, stable push with a clean exit from the hand and a consistent fade that’s strong without being dumpy. Many reviewers note how useful it is in shaping controlled lines in woods, where flop-proof stability is needed. At moderate arm speeds, the disc reaches its intended straight-and-fade profile easily.
Advanced Player Control & Shot Shaping
Advanced throwers will appreciate the Barbarian’s combination of stability and glide. Thrown flat with power, it holds straight with minimal turn before finishing with a confident, predictable fade. The disc is excellent for precision tee shots, forced hyzer lines, and dependable placement drives up to the low-to-mid 300s. Some runs in premium plastic may fly slightly more overstable than the posted numbers.
Forehand Flight Characteristics
The Barbarian’s flat profile and stable finish make it a strong candidate for forehand players. It resists torque well, holds the release angle without wobbling, and finishes with just enough fade to land predictably. Sidearm players report that it works well for controlled fairway drives, low-line shots, and skip finishes in the open.
