for those dedicated to rocs or buzzzes

[funnystance]

do you carry other midrange discs in your bag, either more overstable or understable?
I don't on any kind of regular basis because i feel like i can get one of various buzzzes to do whatever another mid would do, though i have occasionally dropped a skeeter or stratus in the bag.
i also havent tested many midranges b/c i'm so enamored with the buzzz, so wondering if i might be missing out

I'm a buzzz guy. 2x one z and a champ gator for when i need to turn on the right blinker (LHBH).

I have some really flippy Rocs. I had am old dx Ontatio that went more right that forward.

Then I've got some dx Rocs that are very Stable (like the one Frank sent me a while ago with a Christmas Stamp on it...perfect dx shape!)

And I guess if I needed even more stability, I could put a 2005 Glow in my bag. That thing is straight Sir Loin.

.

The Roc has been a constant in my bag for 2 years now after jaunts with the Element, Comet, Buzz, and the Roc (originally). It's by far the disc I feel the most comfortable with, so I don't think adding anything would really do me that much good.

I do have an ultra overstable mid range driver in the bag occasionally (A Blaze), but only when I'm throwing a lot of short spikes or it's 30mph+.

I'm glad you're enjoying that roc.

I throw rocs but the comet has permanently made it way into my bag.

I do a little of both scenarios... sometimes just the various Ranchos, sometimes several different mids.
I really like the Comet/Roc combo and I never had trouble swapping back and forth between the two molds.
Right now I only have Rocs in the bag but I will probably add a Cobra. I found myself not wanting to throw my beat Roc in some scary situations. They take too long to beat just right!

I don't think I have ever had more than 3 in the bag at once. But I'm thinking about the Aftershock/Buzzz/Meteor combo...

I voted No (and was apparently the first one to do so!) but I should explain a little...

I carry Rocs exclusively. I've tried other mids before (Buzzz, Comet, Element) but have always come back to the Roc. That being said, I still needed something more stable than a new DX Rancho Roc for sidearms, thumbers/tommys and trick shots. Since Innova hasn't yet released a regular-production Champ Rancho Roc and I wasn't going to pay a premium price for a USDGC Roc, I decided to carry a flat Z Wasp instead. I find that it suits my needs for an overstable mid and is still close enough to the Rancho Roc that I don't feel like I'm throwing a completely different mid. It's basically just a slightly beefier Roc that isn't going to lose stability after a few tree hits/spike hyzers/etc.

Of course, that's my opinion and I'm sure others will vary widely on this issue.

While I am primarily a 'carry several Rocs in various stages of wear' guy, I too have found that it takes quite a while for me (given the infrequency with which I play) to get a new Rancho Roc beat in enough to be a dependable turnover mid.

My solution has been the DX Ontario Roc. Out of the box it holds an anhyzer line almost all the way, and after a little bit of wear it will hold it the entire way. It is also a very straight flyer when you can't get a full throwing motion. An excellent compliment to a Rancho Roc, or as an 'Oh my God, I just lost my beat Rancho and need another turnover mid ASAP' disc.

I imagine the poll results will be skewed as the majority of buzz throwers carry something for overstable needs while most roc throwers just carry rocs. At least that's my experience.

 

[domromer]

I just carry rocs. I've got them in very specific stages of wear. If I need something over stable I reach for a firebird.

 

[latitude]

In the winter, I throw Buzzz's.

In the summer I throw DX Rocs

In reaally hot places (like in the us) I throw KC Rocs

The reason for this. In the winter my fingers gets really cold so I can't grip my Rocs, Buzzz has the best grip ever. I actually dislike the grip in rocs but can live with it in the summer. In hot places I even can grip KC Rocs, they get so soft anyway

hmm, i carry buzzzs and just use heavier z buzzzes with hyzer for more overstable needs. the only time i consider other mids is for understable turns (i dont get a decent S out of a buzzz at all- it just goes wherever i throw it)

 

[JeremySW]

Just Rocs. People underestimate just how stable Rocs are when fresh in my opinion. If I need something overstable I just pull out the Firebird - one of the easiest discs to execute range control with in my humble ass opinion.

 

[JHBlader86]

Buzzz for most purposes, the Demon for hyzers and headwinds, and some sidearms.

 

[RustyP1]

Just Rocs. People underestimate just how stable Rocs are when fresh in my opinion.

I used to carry Rocs + a QSentinel until I figured this out for myself. Now it's 3-4 Rocs 95% of the time, and I'll occasionally throw in an old Shark or a Cobra if I want something REALLY flippy (typically reserved for specific courses).

 

[AciDBatH666]

I carry 3 rocs in my bag at all times in various stages of wear. But I've been known to throw an element x in there occasionally. Great overatable mid. The element (not the x) is also a great mid that acts like a beat in roc when it's fresh. I should put one in my back permanently

 

[Risk]

Buzzz + Drone

This is my mid lineup too.

 

[rooster]

1 ESP Zone
2 Z Buzzz
1 ESP Comet
1 Z Comet

I use the Comets more than anything else but when the wind picks up I know I have options.

I just got into rocs recently. I'm throwing ranchos and I'm gonna add a z comet for lower ceilings and right turners. I haven't had discraft in my bag in more than 2 years. I've got a couple san marino's coming too, which may negate the need for the comet. We shall see. I'm gonna be experimenting a lot this winter, and not like a college co-ed but like a high school virgin on the science team.

So not at all?
