LHBH newbie here! been playing for about a year+, and like a psycho have acquired ~30 discs. however, this is one of 4 discs I've ever re-bought (a lost Harp in a pond & Reko in the rough, upgraded a Valkyrie to Star plastic, and my Virus, which I bought in an even lighter weight to mess around with). Understable, but not too flippy at 9-speed, it's great at altitude in the mountains. My truly beat-in one is my most reliable driver off the tee for straight shots & turnovers. It's like 2D flat, so feels pretty good for sidearms too (I just don't throw a lot off the tee). I know a lot of reviews say "if I could bag 1 ____, this would be it," but seriously. the Virus is easy to throw right out of the box, and beats in pretty easily. I don't think it's super durable, but I hit each & every tree, so maybe not the best person to ask. As a beginner developing my armspeed, This was a great disc to bag alongside a Valkyrie to add a lil more distance to my game. Highly recommended. I throw this thing everywhere.
