Just saw this post. Are you aware that the Buzzz, Wasp and Hornet were designed to replicate the 3 stages of wear of a KC Pro Roc? While not a perfect clone, those 3 are supposed to come pretty darn close.

From a trusted source inside Discraft.
Not exact replicas, but close facsimiles thereof.
Ask Jim Kenner next time you see him.

This year, my local club will be running our first Ace Race ever. While we have all played in out of town AR, this year we decided to bring it home too! Pretty excited to put one on here, I can't wait for August 31!

Then all the reason not to waste money on another mold then. Thanks for the inside info though. :thmbup:
Maybe the wasp and buzzz, but I would definitely disagree with the hornet.
Have you ever actually thrown a hornet?

I'm only passing along what I was told by a fairly reliable source. In all honesty, I rarely use any mid-range discs at all so I don't have much of an opinion either way.

Ace Race is going to be my first organized Disc Golf experience. Looks like fun.

Here's a video Discraft put out yesterday that has good shots of the inner rim and profile of the prototype disc.
The money shots start at the 2:38 mark. Now we can have some real flight-characteristics speculation!! To me, it looks like an 8 speed rim. What do you guys think?

Ugh. Didn't realize that my local Ace Race is Labor Day weekend and I've already got a ton of crap going on. :doh: Looks like I will have to wait until next year.

You could go a little north to New London, or come further south to Dane County (Madison area), where we have three different Ace Races in September and October.

Thanks for the info guys. Just trying to stay within an hour drive from home. I've only been throwing discs for about three weeks so its not like I had a chance to win. Mostly wanted the cool discs and to meet a few players that might live close.
Why wouldn't they just clone the Roc and run it in X plastic? Just curious.
Can't wait to play my first ace race. I'm trying to decide if I want to drive up to Hillsdale Mi, or just wait until October to play the ones around Columbus.

I'm going to New London to play in my first organized event also. You should try to make it up, I think it'll be a blast. I'm really excited to get those discs. I've never really thrown any Discraft other than Magnets.
I have a question on the rules. Does a metal hit have to be on the fly, or can it bounce and hit the pole and be considered a metal hit?

Our local ace race has treated that as a metal hit in the past. Pretty much the same mechanics as a skip ace.

Just signed up for the Ace Race! I've never done this before so I am excited. Should be a good time

Hornet? I would think Meteor would be a better disc to complete the "Wasp (OS)/Buzzz (Stable)/Hornet(US?)" Roc cycle.
