[Innova] New Roc3

[Lukeslayerski]

Has anyone else noticed how these start fading to the left almost instantly after you throw it? I'm not talking about the flat tops. The one's like the GCC has stamped.

Prob belongs in equipment section.

Edit...That was fast!!!!

 

[Lukeslayerski]

OK! Any other feed back?

 

[steve a]

I would check the roc3 thread. I'm sure others have had them fade as well.

 

[DannyThunders]

Mine has some good fade, it also flips over when thrown forehand

 

[SlappyMcGruff]

Then you have a weak forehand

 

[Pwingles]

Is this thread an ace?

 

[DannyThunders]

Then you have a weak forehand

I probably have weakness in every shot

Rc3 is similar to a stalker?

 

[Lukeslayerski]

For the hype I just wasn't impressed by the way it flew. I bought one played an Ice Bowl with it and less than 24hrs later gave it away. I want to try the flat top ROC3's for sure and see if their any straighter. Their probably the ones that people are saying fly straight.

I thought all Roc3s were flat tops...someone clarify please.

some are flatter than others, some are domey-er than others

Flat or domey, light weight or heavy, they are pretty much all the same. These are not the buzzz that people talk about. They are 100% stable to overstable. The people that say its a straight roc throw they disc flat or on an anhyzer out of their hand. When thrown like that they are a straighter roc than the other rancho molds. But if you throw on a hyzer like myself you are going to find that this roc flys alot like any other rancho roc. Its a nice disc and nice plastic but it fills no gape in my 6 roc line up. Maybe if I can beat one then it might but as of right now its only in the bag because it is winter.

the domey ones are a little different but what i must say is the reason it took so long for me to decided if i wanted to put my name on the Roc3 is probably the same reason you are saying it hasn't replaced you other rocs yet. (currently have 3 roc3s 1 dx 1 kc) it took me 3 weeks to finally realize this is what i have been missing, i was scared because i know what i'm getting from a kc or dx but this has just added that wow factor to my bag and now i can throw lines i never thought i could with a roc. i'm sure after your winter use you will have the same opinion :thmbup:opcorn:

I've thrown a handful of Roc3's now and it is a testament to Innova's inconsistency that I haven't found two that have had an identical flight pattern.

I have a blue 168 Roc3 big bird that is crazy overstable and a 174 dayglo double proto stamp that has replaced my buzzzes for straight narrow shots.

I agree. I bought a Japan nationals roc3 that was a little domey, flew overstable and had no glide. I think it was an anomaly tho, as I've seen some big bird roc3's that were flat and looked more like the flight I was expecting (I didn't get to throw it)

I'm waiting for the stock stamp release

I picked up a standard production roc3 and even got it lighter than I normally get rocs because I wanted it to bridge that gap between mids and my teebirds, but damn, this thing was a brick. I ordered it online and it has a terrible top. It starts out flat for the first 2 inches all the way around and then has a ufo top. If I throw this thing as hard as I can I can get it out to about 250 but it is just always trying to get to the ground. I can put a normal dx rancho out around 330 so that is a huge distance loss especially since it is supposed to go farther. I hope they all are not like this.

 

[pspunch]

Rusch, are you going to flat top it?

 

[rusch_bag]

I didn't even think about that. I'm pretty experienced in flattening discs so I should give it a shot. Do you think it would make it fly how it is supposed to?

 

[dx_roc]

Mine was a poor man's buzz.
