The oldest ugleist POS you can find. If its really beat a teebird could work but dx works better for my rollers. Its always better to start with a less stable disc so unless the bird is really beat it may not be the best option.

Ah, you beat me to it. :thmbup: I love this one for rollers and it was the easiest thing for me to learn to throw them with next to the Slipstream GT.
TeeBirds are great rollers. Used Champ Teebirds for a long time. After you get the hang of the landing point and angle and path it takes, you should experiment with a little more stable discs (or Teebirds) to see if they roll longer or straighter. I just went back to a Valkyrie for rolling; new Star 174g. pretty stable. Very Sweet Roller!
What do you know, I agree. I have a champ sidewinder thats beat to Sh!t that I use.
werd. My friend bought a 150 dx leopard and it rolls amazing.

Why do you all say an under stable disc? I have always found something a bit more over stable to be the best. A Z XL is my go to roller.

I'm sorry, a 1.5 over stable rated disc, is not under stable. All the other plastics aside from Z, definitely much more under stable.Uh... a Z XL should be understable... or at least perfectly stable.

Oh, I didn't even look at a number difference between a Z and a Pro-D...
I was just going by Pro-D or X flights. They shouldn't be that different, though.

I go with an understable disc for BH rollers because it is easier to flip, but I just started throwing a roller BH.

I believe the xl has the widest range of stability's of all discs(at-least Discraft).
D=0
X=1.0
esp=1.2
ESP FLX=1.5
Z=1.5
Not including the older runs of elite plastic, I would put them around a .7.

I just find I throw rollers by the angel of my release, not turning a disc over. This way when the disc hits and starts rolling, it goes straight, and does not turn right like an under stable disc does.
I have rolled past baskets over 500' out this way. No way I can throw that far, especially with LOTS of trees around

I say boy, whats a backhard? Beat Teebird is a good roller, Roc, Stingray, hell any disc rolls, just depends on what line you are looking for and put it on the right angle.
