[Innova] Roc+ is crap.

[cali]

Just sayin. I am disappoint. I got the very last Roc left in my player pack for a tournament a few weeks ago. I broke it out today and was pumped to throw it, grip it. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU- Roc+ rim. Now I've thrown them before and hate them. I said ef it I'll give it another try. First throw, slips out. Second throw, slips out. Third throw, strike three this disc sucks a fat D.

/rant, cool story bro.

Seriously though, I really hate those things.

what plastic was it? i have a champ one and it's money.

I haven't thrown one yet, but the ones I've held felt awful in my hand, I didn't like that slanted rim one bit.

It's DX but I've thrown the R-Pro and a gummy Star one too. They slip out early every damn time. I have to completely re-adjust my release point and almost force myself to griplock.

Hmm, I haven't had a single issue, and Rocs are a good 60% of all my throws.

Maybe I'm bad.

i didn't bother taking more than a couple dozen throws with one along with an assortment of regular ranchos before coming to similar conclusions.

traded it.

As silly as it seems, the roc and the roc+ are different molds, the roc+ is more overstable and has a slanted inner rim.

I'm aware lol.

I don't find it to be more overstable at all. My r-pro is pretty darn straight. Thrown right after a fresh DX, it held the same line and landed roughly on the same spot.

I meant I had no issues with the +'s slanted rim. Then again, I don't have a problem throwing any Lat stuff either.

 

[agent_peebody]

i agree. my champ roc+ goes considerably straighter for longer than my regulars

 

[BrotherDave]

Yeah, the + in Roc+ stands for the extra strokes you get when throwing them.

yah i tryed a roc for a week or so but i hate the inconstancy so i went to a wasp about a year ago, its over stable all ways reliable, i can drive it about 350-370 on a rip or i can hit tigh lines in the woods. i liked a dx roc but after 5 or 6 trees it turns in to a roller, and the roc+ is crap all togeather

this post makes me sad, i love my r-pro roc+s. i don't know how you have an issue with a disc that grippy slipping out of your hand. you can feel free to give all of them that you don't like to me :thmbup:

If anything good comes out of this thread it's this:

Oh lord, the rimshot-smiley posts have begun....

That just sounds bad.

new vs old

Have you thrown rocs in the past? I learned with the older mold so the roc+ feels strange. My general impressions are that folks that seem to like them are newer to the disc while folks that find them uncomfortable are used to the older mold.

I have been throwing Rocs since I first started playing back in 02.
