I think most replies on this post are making things pretty confusing for people who don't know better. There is a significant difference in what kind of discs to use for either a back hand roller or a forehand roller.
This is not true. I can backhand roll a firebird. It's just much easier to get a really steep, near verticle release angle (which is the what u need for OS rollers) with a forehand roller, compared to backhand. But that doesn't mean that angle can't be achieved with a backhand - it just generally takes a lot more practice.
Conversly, I can also roll a sidewinder on a forehand.
