I can second this. I don't throw many rollers, but brand new these "Super Straight" discs will go waaayyyy right with any significant snap. I'm sure they roll well
Star Stingray. Heavy, 175-180 grams. Best roller ever. Sidewinders are good to give it less flip and cut roller

My beat in Cheetah is my primary roller. I can get it out around 275' consistently. I also use an Archangel on occasion. They're both 175g. I tried my 150g Leopard but didn't like rolling the light weight much. It didn't seem like it maintained the "rpms" as well as the heavier discs.
Based upon this thread, I think that I'm going to have to try out my Sidewinder when I can get out on the practice field. Maybe I'll be able to increase my d.

I throw backhand rollers with a beat up roc or a beat star leopard depending on the distance needed. Forehand, I use a champ monster.

Avenger SS
Meteor
Element
And for forehand rollers, the Illusion works pretty well. Or a Surge.

Lots of good advice here so far, and I agree with the prevailing opinion of less stable for backhand, more stable for forehand. The choice really depends on what type of shot you need the roller for. Is it for distance? To negotiate a turn that's hard to make in the air? Or just clear a low ceiling? Need details.
seconded! an epic rolls really nice too. it just takes a lot of work to get to to go properly.
that disc is queerer than a $3 bill.:thmbdown:
good call.:clap:
i love my wraith for long, straight rollers or a firebird or sidewinder if the shot calls for something with a curvier roll.

Both the good and bad news about Sidewinder rollers is that they go far. When you set them down just right they go real far. Set'em down on the wrong line they still go far. I've found parts of my home course that I didn't know know existed until I started rolling Sidewinders.:doh:
