Inquiring Roc' ers want to know


What is the difference between a San Marino, Ontario and Rancho Roc?

The Roc is one of disc golf's all-time leading discs that is or has been thrown by disc golfers. It is coveted by many, young and old. The Roc has become one of the all-time leading collector discs and is the big Fundraiser disc for the USDGC. On the PDGA Discussion Board someone asked this question, which I'm sure many of you, as I have asked and here's Dave Dunipace's reply:

The Ontario Roc is the most different of the three and the straightest flyer. In DX it will beat up most easily to perform turnover shots.

The San Marino is much more high speed stable than the Ontario and takes longer to beat in. It also is more low speed over stable, and has about the same glide.

The Rancho is the most over stable of the three, and generally the flattest, which tends to make it the best into a headwind, though the San Marino is still pretty good at that. The Ontario is not for headwinds.
