[Innova] Flat star roc??

[walkersfriend-sd]

is there a such thing as a flat star roc..i love star plastic but i cant stand how domey they make the rocs!!! have any of you guys ever run into a flatter one or know hwere i can get one..if not what plastic do you recomend i through i roc in?

 

[JFink2011]

You can always find some that are flatter, so the answer to your question is yes. But a lot of the Champ Rocs are a bit less domey in my experiences...

I'd recommend a Buzzz though... If you like flat.

I got a red Star Sanny last year that's flat for a Star. If you want a truly flat Roc I'd just get a DX.

 

[EeBeKay]

I have the same ^

 

[GripEnemy]

I have a super flat red one. It is just as flat as my dx flat tops. I'm not crazy about star rocs though so I really don't throw it but it does feel great in the hand.

Yes. The ones I have seen are 2009 Ranchos.

My flat one was some type of hot stamped(double stamp) from a tournament. I bought it from a local guy and it is seriously that flat. I have other star rocs that are super domey as the op said.

star rocs are like star rhynos.


=teh sux...

You have a point lol.

 

[walkersfriend-sd]

so what im hearing is to stay away from star and go with some other plastic?

 

[codyroberts18]

Get you a flat top DX. That is what I have and love them. Also, if you like rocs and are needing something on the more stable side, you could try a MD2. You cannot beat a DX roc.

There's nothing wrong with a flat star rancho roc, you are just going to have to pay to get it, figure $25+. I believe they are only available as TFRs, but I could be wrong.

Or you could simply buy a Star Roc and flatten it......

just buy a dx and beat the hell out of it.

Yes. The ones I have seen are 2009 Ranchos.

This. Not the ones that say "2009" graffiti style, the ones with the big bird on them. They're so flat some of them are concave. Beware though, every single one I've handled has been gummy as a mother. So if you don't like gummy, you don't want.

Not the same. The reason I stopped throwing Rocs is because I had a flat top roc that I absolutely loved... but an upshot that went too high bounced off the top of the yellow band and took almost two inches of the bead off. I didn't want to waste my time and money with Star or Champ rocs, so I switched to the Axis. To me it's everything a roc can be, in premium plastic.

 

[apdrvya]

oddly, i throw premium plastic in drivers, dx only for mids, and semi-premium for putters.
I throw dx rocs and gators for mids.

Yup, like the one on the left in picture from the link below.
