Anybody have any firsthand experience with the TDTM OG Glo Roaches or the Bro-D Rubber Blend? I'm interested, but neither seems readily available.

I heard on here that the glows were reportedly just like regular JB. Not too much difference.
I totally agree with this. Big Roach fan and I was really excited to get my hands on a few crystal sparkle ones and they are all incredibly hard and slippery. They're fun to throw on a field for practice when scores don't matter but I just can't trust them enough to bag them. It's a shame really. I have a 5x crystal McB Luna and it's tackier than the crystal Roaches by a significant margin.
Any kind of Z including CryZtal tends to grip up over time, with most of them. There are a few exceptions in the plastic and those are ones that tend to sweat in the hot temps over 90-100 F depending on how much water the disc ended taking in during the mold making and/or drying process.
Tip the more finger prints Z gets the more grip it usually gets.
Interesting. I bag a Big Z Roach and its grip has been great from the start just like the 5x. The Cryztal Sparkle ones I have are incredibly slick and have a very firm/hard texture to them. One lives in a bag on the shelf and the other get regular use on my indoor basket and it's as slick as the day I bought it, maybe even more so. I really wish it would tack up a bit because it's a beautiful disc.

The Bro-D plastic the same as the Luna?
I've recently switched back to the roach both for putting and throwing. Putting I only had x soft for the time being (sold my pro d's). I have been up to this point putting with kc aviars. What made me switch was how hard I had to putt the kcs and when I miss I was blowing past the basket. So I had the soft roaches in storage and decided to give them a try on my practice basket in the back yard. Instantly making more putts with less effort. So I put them back in the bag. After two rounds putting is a bit better but the soft roaches are a bit too soft from what I'm use to. Bought two of the new putter line roaches today to combat that. I will still have a soft roach for short throws and jump putts like I had in the past. Biggest difference has been with bagging the big z roach. Nice throwing putter with fade but not as much fade as my zones. Plus I aced today with the big z on a 266' slight down hill hole. Roaches are here to stay.
The new stamp for the big z roach is better than it was, I wasn't a fan of the roach smoking a roach stamps. I really like the big z roach and the titanium roach for off the tee shots.
The new putter line roaches are nice for putting, the stamps are nice and simple.
