Anyone know anything about old Rocs?

I've had this old Roc for quite some time. i recently came across it and decided to try and research it a bit but haven been able to find too much on it. Can anyone help out? It has San Marino on the back

Rocs seem confusing, but it's not really all that bad to understand.

The first Roc came out about '87. It was a small diameter 21.2 cm diameter disc based off the XD. In '89 that disc was replaced with the first version of what we consider a Roc today-the 21.7 cm diameter San Marino Roc. This disc quickly became the most popular disc on the market. At the time the Stingray was about as long a disc as you could get, so the Roc was used by many players for almost every shot.

In '94 or '95, something happened to the Roc mold and the disc was replaced with a new version. Innova's mailing address had changed, so the tooling on the new disc said "Ontario." Thus the old disc became the "San Marino" or "Sanny" Roc and the new disc was called the "Ontario" Roc. The Ontario Roc has a higher dome and flips easier than the San Marino's. Because of this they were not very popular and they were replaced in 1997 by the current "Rancho" Roc, so named because Innova moved from Ontario to Rancho Cucamonga and the tooling once again changed.

so if the diameter is 21.7 cm then it is a late 80's or early 90's san marino roc.

Yeah, the stamp is just the Discovering The World stamp. They have used that forever, it is very common. The uncommon part would be the San Marino part. If it's an original San Marino, not beat to death and heavy, those were good throwers.

Anybody know if they ran the DTW stamp on any of the new San Marino's?

So I came across this today

Since they moved the Destroyer to Mcbeth, is this the new Teebird?

 

[trashmonster1985]

I have had this disc for awhile, very curious to know what it is. I got it from a friend in 2010. It's a pretty cheap feeling disc but I'm not sure if it's just old or a cheap spin off. There is no tooling on the bottom. Inked weight 173 is all. Just wondering if anybody has any ideas.

AJ took the TB after McPants staked his claim on the Destroyer.

Most if not all 2 line's will have a patent number.

All the 2 line ones I have have the patent number and my 3 lines don't.

I would hazard a guess from the description that it is a Lightning #1 Diver. It could be a #4 Driver. Or a #1 Flyer. Does it have grip rings around the inside of the rim? If yes, it's one of those Lightning discs. If not, Gateway had some untooled discs way way back in the late '90's-early 00's so that would be my backup guess.

Cool. I'll go check it, thanks

Here's a disc I found not too long ago, hoping someone can help tell me what it is?

Looks like a *VL? Star Valkyrie??

Looks custom painted also, unless anyone knows something specific about it.
