Basically the Star Rancho's I have had were ridiculously domey. Not just "hey that's domey" domey, but huge pop-top domey to the point where there is a groove top effect where the flight plate dips a bit where the wing ends underneath it before popping up to a huge distorted dome. Really domey. Stupidly domey. All of that dome takes a lot of the HHS out of the disc so it's flippy, but it gives it some extra glide. So it flies, but not like a Rancho Roc.Yeah, I hear you. And I could see that.
I was honestly expecting the Roc to be more stable/os also (and to have less glide). It certainly wouldn't fill an OS mid slot. And my expectations may have been right, I just happened to find the flippier version of it, relatively speaking.
Funny that infinite lists the rancho as "The Rancho Roc is a mold of the Roc that was originally manufactured when Innova moved to Rancho Cucamonga California. This is said to be the most overstable of the Roc Family." Guess it just doesn't apply to the star.
I must have a relatively nice Star Rancho. A local store ordered a few for me to pick through a couple years ago; I just bought the one. (I was considering ordering online but the description of the disc said "Dome Patrol" LOL!) It doesn't have much dome at all. Really gummy though; I prefer a more rigid disc, so I have only thrown it for 5-6 rounds.
The DX Rocs I have gotten recently have a really nice feel: stiff rims with a nice, even dome, and plastic that feels somewhere between Classic Aviars and some KC Pros I picked up a while ago. Even found some swirly DX (light blue with swirls of darker blues and white) that look almost too pretty to throw.
I found a champ Ontario roc this weekend in a used bin, curious if these have any value? I can get some pictures of it later, but it has the two ring Ontario tooling. Are all the Ontario's tooled like that? Only got to throw it a handful of times, but it's a nice straight flyer.
I mean yeah they're all worth something, but it's not 2015 sexybird or CE Eagle range by any means.
Pictures would help a lot.
True, it seems like a nice thrower anyways, plus I'm sure the ink on it would kill the value.
Pictures would help a lot.
Here's some pics, I don't know if these will help in identifying anything as far as the era.

I think it's pretty neat.
Ummm...I hate to be that guy, but that disc is a Cobra.Unfortunately you're right. Being an X-Out like that doesn't help one bit. If I had to guess, I'd say it's from the 2007 run (has streaking like mine do). Being an X-Out doesn't help its value. If I were you I'd throw it. It'll add more value to your bag than the 20 or so dollars you may net from selling it.
