The Temple Of ROC!!!!

[Pat]

Got some of the first run Roc3s. Slightly domey and very clear champ plastic. Pretty grippy and not too stiff. Didn't get to throw them yet but they feel nice.

I got 2 FR and they feel and look just like FD described them. The Blue 171 was a tick more stable than my pink 177 though. I threw both in the field about 35 times before the round and then quite a bit during the 2 rounds I played on a medium length, wooded course. They shape lines just like rocs do but they are definetly faster than a DX Rancho. The stability is comparible to a new KC roc. I like em

How do these fare in the wind compared to a KC pro?

no wind yesterday

If they are like KCs fine except in swirls and if they are like McBeths Jalle Stoor threw it well in moderate winds in the Frisbeepoint dubs and i saw no errant behavior. He threw a better score solo than the rest of the teams. Lucky me i played with him but i'd like to throw a Roc3 too

Well they are starting to sound pretty awesome(r), I ordered 4 of these from powergrip on friday...gonna get em today. Too bad any real testing is 5 months away :P

Indoor hall?

Only one room for me is Kuopio Halli, and they have sectioned it with huge net walls :/

The colours are awesome though...super bright, fluorescent red, pear green fluorescent, deep purple and a deep turquoise...best looking Champ plastic I've ever seen.

Compared the Roc3 (177, neon green, slight dome) to my mcbeth roc, new KC, new DX.

It is less stable than a new, domey KC roc, more stable than my domey DX roc and more stable than my mcbeth roc. It seems they tweaked the mcbeth roc mold a little as it is a bit slower and a bit more glidey than the mcbeth roc. It didn't go as far as the Mcbeth roc but it did out distance the KC and the DX. A slight headwind kicked up at the end of the testing and it held it's own pretty well.

This thing kinda reminds me of the old pro line gremlins.

[Timko]

Yeah, I think I need one or 8 of those.

are they slanty?

[turso]

are they slanty?

A little bit, <10 degrees eyeballing it.

[Flipflat]

So I just got some rocs in, they're a little different than the ones I already have. The inside of the rim isn't slanted like a plus, but opposite- it's concave. Like a QMS? I seem to remember the QMS being like this, but I could be wrong. Nice grip.



It's just weird, I got 3 of these, all have this, but in varying degrees. One has the groove, then it flattens out for like 2 inches, then comes back.

[Jesse B 707]

:/ well that pretty much marks the end of my Roc love. As much as I hate slanty discs, rounded ones are even mor3 obnoxious...looks like I'm in the market for some nice Ghosts...

[chainsmoker]

I was at a local shop today checking out some ghosts and my first thought was why not? The few I've thrown flew familiar to me as a Roc thrower plus you get a nice choice of plastics right off the shelf. I've gotten annoyed enough with Rocs recently that I've been throwing Champ Shark/ Dx Sharks to see if I could go that way, I read on the PDGA forum about Shark3 and I thought screw this.

[JR]

Have you guys tried King Cobras? Not too far off of a new Roc and a nice disc to boot.
