What Innova says:
The Orc is a more stable version of the very popular Valkyrie, giving power throwers more predictability off the tee.

Review: The Orc is one of my two "go to" drivers in 150 class. It
has great D and for me at least, it goes straight as an arrow for the
first 95% of its flight and then it tails slightly left. I'm very
impressed at how consistent and predictable this disc is at 150 grams
- it even does OK into a headwind. I'd highly recommend it for smaller
arms and women player developing their game. There are other disc I
can throw farther but none are as reliable.

Review: This disc broke in very fast to be my longest disc.
Hyzer-flip it for a very long "S" shot. Unfortunately, a couple of
weeks later it was so flippy that it was only good for rollers.
Lifespan of this disc is just not acceptable. Find something else.
For me, the Champ Sidewinder has taken its place, although it's just
a touch more understable than I'd like.

Review: The Orc is a good disc. I have one in the DX plastic, which
is not very durable, but it flies far and straight on low, long
drives before fading left. I have thrown my Orc in excess of 420',
but I have a tendancy to turn it over at really high speeds, and it
doesn't seem to recover well, thereby losing a lot of accuracy. But
I recommend it for hard throwers who want a lot of low distance with
pretty good accuracy.

Review: Changing over to the Orc as my distance driver has done more
for my game than any other disc change has. It's clean and strait,
and as long as you keep it low it will go and go. I've been throwing
DX plastic with it, and expected to have to replace it at some point,
now I question that. As all discs with wear, it has developed its
own personality, and it matches my drive just right. I would fish
for this one (and have).

Review: My Review I have been playing since my college days at ECU
where I took many a break from class.I have just picked up the ORC dx
and threw it about 25'past a 350' basket it is the stablest most
accurate disc in the bag. It goes straight and far. I like it better
than my wraith and I will break 400+ today (there is no wind like the
other day)I RECOMMEND PUTTING ONE IN YOUR BAG I AM GOING TO PUT
ANOTHER ONE IN SOON

Review: Because I prefer low, straight drives, I mainly used a
variety of Valkyries from 150g to 170g in both DX and Champion
plastics. When I was a beginner, that worked fine for me, but as I
was able to put more power behind the disc, Valkyries developed a
tendency to turn over too much on me without coming back. They're
just too picky, requiring just the right angle of release, spin, and
power. Wanting something with about the same speed but more
predictability, I picked up a 170g DX Orc. Initially it was way more
overstable than I'm used to, but after a couple rounds of breaking it
in, it flies beautifully and predictably for me: low, straight, and
with just a slight left fade at the end--just like the picture on the
Innova website. On top of that, I can consistently throw my Orc 25
feet' farther than my current 168g Champion Valkyrie, usually putting
me at about 375'. That's from a skinny guy that's only been playing
for about five months. I've also thrown Teebirds and Gateway Sabres,
but so far nothing has given me the distance and accuracy that I get
from an Orc.

Review: i have been playing for about a 2 years now, just starting
to play tournaments. i have been through a ton of different discs,
throwing both RHBH and RHFH. i have found the orc (champion) to be
the best fit to my style for both types of throws. i recently won a
DX orc at a tournament and tried it out. in its new condition it is
just as stable as the champion, but has far more float than the
champion version. i throw it nice and low and have been breaking my
350\' foot barrier often. if you are new and you have found a disc
you like, i would suggest trying the DX version, you might find that
it performs better, especially new. "keep the plastic flying"

The orc, in my opinion, should be your first intermediate disc. It has
exelent speed, and a predictable fade. Not a bad headwind driver either. I
wouldn't recomend this disc to a beginer as it takes alot of power to get it
down the fairway, as well as, it requires ALOT of control. Be careful how
you throw this one; nose down, straight relsease, or you might find this
disc afew holes over, as it goes along ways, if thrown with some power. My
assessment: Good Disc!!
