Agreed, I have some DX pop tops that I like (generally a little beefier) but mild dome is a good go-by.
I can't speak to the KC's but recent runs of DX have been good. Plastic is on the chalkier side and less waxy.

Interesting, thanks for the info. Didn't think the Roc3 was released in 2013 but it looks like that was the year it came out, guessing this probably a first run. Still a cool disc will try to find a spot for it in the bag
The other way to tell is the tooling on the bottom. Rocs have Innova Champion and Rancho Cucamonga on the same line with patent number at the bottom. The Roc3 has Innova Champion with the website at the top. The bottom has Rancho Cucamonga with no patent tooling.

Interesting that a little dome is sought after. Generally I feel like flat top discs are all the rage.

I really like the stock stamp DX versions that I've found at retailers in the last year or so (when I started looking). I do not like the bottom stamp versions. Those are waxier and feel a little shallower and don't really glide for me at all.

It's important that any Roc have a cool stamp. They always fly better with a cool stamp.
So that one drops like a brick, right?

Just because the tourney stamp is from 2013, and I did a little research and it looks like 1st run glow Roc3's were a CFR disc in 2013
I think the 1st run Roc3s had Japan Open stamp IIRC.

You want some glide out of your midrange. In general, domey discs glide better than flat ones
Yea, I like and throw Flat Top rocs as well but that was more out of necessity because I couldnt find a slight dome roc for a while but a flat top roc doesnt fill up my hand the same so if I can I try to avoid them.
Japan Open Roc3s were "Pre-Release", Proto Stars were "First Run" followed by the Big Bird "Second First Run". For the Glows, 2013 was indeed the first year, iirc it was Wintertime Open with the first release. BSF and others followed shortly after. So that tourney stamp is very early run glow Roc3.
That's enough Roc3 talk in the Roc thread...ew.

Agreed, sorry to taint this thread. Really thought I had a Roc.
In other news, it looks like the factory story has 28 KC pro F2's in stock for $8 a pop if anyone wants to pick up the greatest midrange of all time on the cheap
