Are they still glide deficient or are they decent Rocs? I've been telling people not to bother with them, but that was based off the early ones with no glide.

The less stable ones had more glide than his super beefy ones, not like a ton of glide but not completely brickish.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement there. I'm not running out to try one based on that, anyway.

The Roc is the only disc I have to date where I can roughly get it to do exactly what I want it to. I lose my connection with it from time to time, but when I get it back I am simply on fire.

Greatest disc IMO. Does what you tell it to.

I've been having slippage problems with my rocks the last few months, so today I switched from my normal fork grip to my driver grip and i was fucking hitting them perfect and was getting longer throws than normal with them. It was nice.

I've used that trick before. Sometimes I get all mixed up with my fork grip, and switching to the power grip gets me out of the funk. I'm just not as accurate with the power grip so I end up back with the fork grip as soon as I can get my head pulled out of my ass.

Flat Dx Rancho Rocs are the 'best' midrange in existance today.

I am having this problem with rocs right now, I remember a time when they were so easy to throw, not sure how to correct it, definitely feels like a timing issue, but only with rocs. :(

Anyone here get some of the "Throwback 10x"KC Glows that Sun King had for sale? They feel fucking awesome.

I like this!

I am always looking for nice flat rocs that are stiff.
