[Innova] Roc Without Bead?

[Rol6566]

Ive been carrying rocs since I started playing and lately I have been having trouble getting a good release on them. I also have a Core that I use and love for my straight shots, but I also need something more stable with more fade. I have come to the conclusion that the bead on the roc is the reason for this. Is there a disc out there that has the flight characteristics of a roc without the bead?

You could try a z buzzz, it's not exactly the same flight but you can execute a lot of the same shots with it.

 

[bhuff]

go with z buzz for straight shots, beat in an x buzz for turnovers.

I have a Core which i use for straight shots and it is just about the same as a buzz

The Gateway Demon has no bead.

Star Cro. Smaller diameter mid. No bead. Comfortable inthe hand if you don't like big beads. Good stability. It's not a Roc, but it's a good compliment to a Core. Nice stable approach disc or all-around mid.

Yea the Cro might be a good way to go here. I use the cro as my go to mid range, I like the way I can throw a Roc but it feels so weird coming out of the hand.

I was using Roc and Core, untill i found a Cro, it's so amazing i got 2 more, and took the rocs out.

Cro + Core is the way to go on mids.

I might have to go out and try a cro. Any plastic preference?

The original Roc was created using an XD and adding a bead, so a real beadless Roc would be the original XD.

The xd with a bead was the original roc, but it's nothing like today's roc. It was smaller diameter and much slower, now it's the classic roc mold which is closer to a putter than a mid.

Correct, that's why I called it the "original" Roc.
