Very blunt nosed. Almost like a Roc3 and Gator hybrid.

Has anyone gotten a chance to throw one of these?
Well my RocX3's came in. As promised here are some photos. I took a profile pic vs. a 2013 USDGC Champ Rancho Roc. Sorry, I would have also included a Roc3 profile comparison, but my Roc3s are currently in the bedroom where my daughter is sleeping so you'll have to wait on that. The profile is quite similar to a Rancho Roc (or probably to a Roc3 as well). It's just a little bit blunter, which I guess gives it that extra overstability.

If anyone wants any comparisons vs other mids, feel free to ask. If I have one I'll happily take a comparison pic for you (although no promises on me actually having what you want).
Take my review with a grain of salt as im an 875 rated player and mostly a buzzz thrower as opposed to ROCs but:
Zipper top. Hard but not too much so plastic. I would say it feels more like a gator in hand than a Roc3 (which i did bag for a couple years)
I threw mine in a field yesterday vs a verdict and a Buzzz OS. I found the Rocx3 to be a touch less stable than my Buzzz OS which would make it a bit more every day usable for me. My buzzz OS I throw only specialty shots with
In my opinion if this was using general disc golf terms Id call it a GatorSS. The feel to me is more like a straighter gator, than an overstable roc. But I am good with some original analogies stating if the Gator and Roc3 had a baby this would be it.
For those hoping for the look and feel of the roc with overstablity i think you may be a touch disappointed, although the flight may be about what you're looking for, I found the feel to be quite different.
I bought four and will likely sell three and continue to throw the one i tested for a few months.
How does it compare to the Verdict? I am not familiar with the Buzz OS. And what plastic/weight was the Verdict that you were throwing?
