Player Reviews Posted 01-25-08 Submitted by Jason Spires biopuritan@yahoo.com Location: Memphis, TN Level: Amateur Avg Drive: 325 Disc Weights: 171 Review: There is no doubt that the mid-range game is owned by the Roc. The problem is that the Roc can, to some, be a difficult and\or uncomfortable disc to throw. I have a Pro Roc and I can handle tha fade fine, however, the Star Cro simply feels better in my hands. Say what you want, comfort is what is important. The soft star material allows you to rip this thing and let it fly any way you need it to. It easily stays on a straight line and works well with a long fade approach as well. I also use this on my home course for a necessary "S" shot and it gets me in birdie range almost every time. NOTE: The star Cro will not soar like a Roc will but you may want to sacrifice that for the sheer comfort and feel of the disc. It has, in effect, replaced my Roc. Posted 11-13-07 Submitted by Anonymous Disc Weights: 175 Review: I have been searching for years for the perfect disc for right-to-left, dropping forehand approaches, and the Cro is it. The rounded outer rim feels very comfortable in the hand, and when you flip it up and to the right at a steep release angle, the disc flattens out and drops left towards the hole, and either goes in or drops right next to the basket. This is a very useful shot to have: I find myself all the time in tough situations where I can easily lean way out and flick a forehand towards the basket, whereas a pure backhand player might have no legitimate shot at all. The Cro is perfect for this shot.

But what if they simply don't feel good in your hands? I have quite small hands for a 32 year old man and the rigidness of a Roc doesn't work well for me. What do I do? Well, one answer is definitely the Star Cro. This thing is gummy and feels great in your hands. It will basically toss like a Roc, only not as far. When really snapped into place they hold a straight line well before a fairly quick fade. I like to use it for wooded shots and any Par 3 with a left turn. If the Roc just doesn't feel right to you or you are having difficulty throwing it well, try the Cro! Posted 09-06-07 Submitted by mike pedley mike.pedley@gmail.com Location: Mentor, Ohio Level: Adv. Am Avg Drive: 325 Disc Weights: 171 Review: An excellent midrange if you like the shark. Can be thrown for long straight approaches. Holds a straight route and has plenty of speed, but not a lot of fade or glide making it predictable. Very solid disc. Can even be used as a putter because it flies straight with little glide. Easy to aim. Best if used for 2nd approach or long putt throw. Posted 07-18-07 Submitted by Anonymous Disc Weights: 170 to 175 Review: This Disc was received before the initial release by Innova. I would say that this disc is a slightly more overstable disc than a roc or a shark. This disc is great into a medium headwind with no real attempt to go anhyzer even when released flat. As far as distance goes, I threw a 175 Cro and a 175 Roc on the same line with the same amount of power and snap. The results: The Cro flew on a perfect line until hyzering out and finishing around 300+ feet. The Roc flew straight until hyzering out around 350+ feet. While the Cro will not replace any of my Rocs, I would recommend this disc to players who throw the Buzz or the Shark as this disc has a better line, grip, and control factor. This disc has enough fade that when thrown with a slight anhyzer, you can put it out 400 feet. It also works great for medium to short distance dump shots when thrown with a slight hyzer.
