@Big_game_brewer: yes, it's a pretty good indicator that your throws are clean. Most likely not getting destroyers out further just because of nose angle issues.
For the Comet throwers who fill their OS slot with Rocs (and by extension, everyone):
- How many Rocs (and what types) do you keep in your bag?
- What level of beat are they in?
- Do your Rocs overlap with your Comet or visa/versa, and what is that overlap?
- How does your stable Roc compare to your stable Comet in throw and flight path?
- If you do have overlap, do you drop the Comet or the overlapping Roc?
For a long time I carried both, and I'm still a huge Comet advocate in my area. Now, however, I just carry Rocs, for simplicity. I'll try to knock down your questions one at a time.
4 Rocs in my bag. 3 dx - one new glow @180, one worn @175, and one beat heavy (don't know the exact weight it's so old) 1 kc pro @176 starting to get some wear, but it definitely still holds that typical kc roc line.
I don't feel like any of those rocs particularly overlap with comets for what I use them for. The roc is a little bit less of a point and shoot type midrange than the comet it. I tend to use comets for more finesse type shots when I carry them, and rocs more for harder throws.
My stable roc tends to hold a line at higher speeds than my stable comet. It also needs a little less height to get it where I want it. Neither turn and burn when really cranked, but the comet it more likely to end up finishing more to the right than the stable roc.
I sort of alluded to this earlier, but I took the comets out in favor of an all Roc lineup. It's really made my shot selection a lot easier. I kind of got in the mindset where I only used comets for straight and turnover shots, and rocs for moderate to hard hyzer finishes. There's not really a specific reason for my game I did it. I've had times where the Comet was my primary midrange (for a few years, actually) but mentally when I paired them with the slightly more versatile/robust Roc, I tended to treat them like they were more understable than they really were - which led to mistakes on the course and cost strokes. When any combination of discs starts me down that path, I tend to re-evaluate and make changes. This time, the decision was made to go with all Rocs.
note: I do use a champion gator in the stupidly overstable mid slot, but it's primarily a niche disc I use for sidearms and spike hyzers where I don't want to throw a predator.
I have been contemplating this as well. I have hopped on the roc train and it seems that the roc/comet duo is a killer option. May have to check out the z as well.
