I was on the PDGA Message Board and found this from the Dave_D thread. For those who don't know, Dave_D is Dave Dunipace, co-owner/founder/mold-disc developer of Innova Champion Discs. He's a really smart guy and he's very sharing of his knowledge about discs and specifically about Innova discs. Here's a little snippet about Rocs:
From Dave_D: "with the Rancho at 4,4,0,3, I would put the Ontario at 4,4,0,1, and the San Marino at 4,4,0,2. The Ontario is the straightest out of the box and is the easiest to beat into a turn over disc. Another number we could put on our ratings would be torque or turnover resistance due to flutter. That is where the San Marino and Rancho would be significantly above the Ontario. Torque resistance is useful in the wind, or for minimizing throwing errors. Star plastic generally starts out slightly less over stable. DX and Champion usually start the most over stable, but DX wears much more quickly. Theoretically the San Marino should have slightly less speed and more carry than the Rancho, but I have not seen that in testing."
Quote from Rizbee:
"Hi Dave,The Innova disc comparison chart lists the Roc as 4, 4, 0, 3, but I'm guessing that is for the Rancho Roc. Would you give different ratings - even half a point - for the Ontario and San Marino models? And would plastic type affect the ratings? "
