Got this as a mystery disc, there are things that are really good and really bad about it. Bad: it flies nothing like the flight numbers, I threw it on a baby hyzer and it flipped immediately. Good: I use it as a utility disc where I can throw it on a pretty aggressive hyzer angle and it'll turn into a roller about 200' down the fairway. I've seen other reviews saying it's straight, not sure if it's a difference in the plastic or inconsistencies in the run, so beware when buying.

I have been throwing Viking Discs for quite a while now, and I love this disc. In ground plastic it has a great flip up and is great for turn over shots. This and the Ragnorak i can say the same. In Armour plastic I and put it on a slight hyzer and it will flip up to slight ani and have a beautiful s line. Great discs for beginners. Highly recommend.

This disc would be a great starter disc for someone new to disc golf. It can give you quite a bit of distance on very little power. The problem is that if you aren't a beginner then you are going to throw this disc too hard for it to be very useful. It's nearly impossible to not turn over. You can use this for backhanded throws when you want it to turn without fading back or as a roller. 

Brand new in the Armor plastic this disc was super understable. With any power it would flip all the way over from a significant hyzer angle. The disc feels really nice and seems to be flying well for my beginner friend.

Just got this disc as a mystery box disc, 174g armor plastic. Extremely flippy, it's honestly like a -3, -4 turn. Idk if its the plastic or i just got a wonky disc or what. It flies like a slow mamba lol and I'm not exaggerating. Having said all that, it might stay in the bag as a turnover/roller. We'll see

        Tie your laces and buckle that belt. Brace, brace, brace, and find something to hold on to. The reigning king of hyperbole is back. Blasting through the desert like a scirocco, exploding through your feed of reviews like the Golden Horde across Mongolia. For those who read the rest of my reviews you will notice an unmistakable generally positive energy. I'm not here to lambast anything that doesn't already deserve it, or not promote a decent disc in the age of a burgeoning game as ours. If it's good, top marks. Average, likewise. Horrible? See my River Pro review. That's where we're at, though. The exact opposite of the River Pro is this, the Viking Disc Cosmos. 

        As I said, I'm the reigning defending champion of the WWF SummerSlam of Exaggeration. I know. I can tell you that I seriously doubt I will ever be able to reach the same level of fanboy with any other disc. Without further ado, the greatest disc golf disc I have thrown, am throwing, and will throw. Out of almost fifty discs and hundreds, if not thousands of drives, I found my plastic soulmate. The Viking disc Cosmos. Did I just introduce the same disc twice? You're darn tootin'.

        Context! For Christmas, the same beautiful Norwegian girl who recommended I try Viking discs in the first place got me a Black Friday 2020 Ship Stamp in Deep Blue Armor plastic along with the rest of the presents. Seeing as it was a strange winter in the normally WISH.com-Siberia that is the North Iowan landscape, I was able to get out for a couple 40 degree days and get some rounds in. That first throw. Yes, yes, a million times yes. Do you ever throw a disc for the first time and immediately there's a sense that you were just meant to bag a disc? That was me.

        When I compete at Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, I could weasel my way into lower skill brackets and collect trophies like no one's business. The term for it is 'sandbagging', if you don't know it already. I don't, because the point of combat sports is to compete on an even playing field. In disc golf, however, you can play with a Franklin Discs Beginner set in a tournament if you want. Unless it's not PDGA approved it's more or less free game. I love that. With how much I can control the Cosmos, I feel like I'm almost cheating. The Armor plastic is somehow the grippiest, most durable plastic there is, having run the gauntlet of an albeit mild North Iowa winter and combating many a tree and tundra while I got used to the mold. 

        How does it fly? Perfectly, for a middle of the road all purpose driver. On a hyzer release, the Cosmos kisses a flat angle midway through and will bomb back to Earth with almost no skip. On a flat release, you'll get the illustration of an equally balanced disc turning gently before losing speed and fading for a hooked level ending. On an anyzer release, you'll get enough turn to scare you before you remember that fade will bring you home more or less dead straight. Isn't that what you want? That perfect, unreasonable to criticize reliability?

        For hunting enthusiasts, it's a small deer rifle. For car enthusiasts, its a Mazda Miata. Criticisms exist, they just don't necessarily make a whole lot of sense under close inspection. To say that this disc doesn't really work for Fairway drives is like saying that a three quarters wrench can't loosen a three quarters bolt. Like, what else are you going to do? To leap from my soapbox, I would be amazed if you threw this disc and didn't add it to your bag. 

        To humor the drawbacks, you might be able to say that it doesn't react well to a ton of power. That may be possible, because despite my best efforts, it takes a lot for me to really nail a three hundred foot or so drive. So whatever finesse I can muster for now; that may just have to be the key to my usage of the Cosmos. Plus, if you have routine 400 foot plus power I guarantee you have the finesse needed to throw this disc properly. Perhaps really beat in, it will turn to a point where the only good throw it will be good for is a huge anyhyzer.

        The best part about the cons so far is that they're both hypothetical. Finesse will treat you right, and the Armor plastic will never fail you. The flight numbers are also spot on. It's a low speed fairway driver with above average glide. It's a true zero concerning turn, she won't flip on you if you don't make her. Keep that hyzer release on point and you'll conquer tunnels. If it comes out straight, that's how your flight ends, a promise from that final rating of one over none fade. If there was a true negative trait that disc, it may be the performance it has in the wind. Even then, that's kind of the reality with a stable disc. In a heavy weight with a bit more focus applied to that release angle and you may even benefit from what the Cosmos has to offer even then.

        You really do owe it to yourself to buy this disc. It's my favourite. Until I can find something else that really blows my hair back, this will be my ride or die, my perfect polymer pal, and most trusted circular advisor. Touch the cosmos with the Cosmos.

Pros: I apologize to everyone who may have wanted an edgelord-overstable monster, or super understable and domey roller-utility disc. For the rest of us in pursuit of the ultimate fairway driver and the disc that makes you want to invite your buddies to play a one disc round. 

Cons: If you've seen TENET, then hear this. All of the cons should be considered 'inverted', blasting from the future to the past, and less significant to forward moving time every day. 

I have this disc in Storm Plastic, which seems indestructible. 

This has become my go to fairway/control driver. This bad boy seems to navigate away from all trees. Goes where ever I want it to, and has such a subtle fade at the end of his flight. Highly Recommend!

Armor plastic must be much more overstable than Ground, because I just canNOT get this thing to turn all the way over, even though many other reviews found it extremely flippy.  It'll flip up and give a little bit of an S curve, then fade out very gently.  The Cosmos has great glide, likes to fly straight, and is great for hitting moderately sized gaps that aren't bounded by a low ceiling.
