For instance, after a couple stiff tree smacks, it will cease to be able to handle high speeds, but still be very overstable at low speeds. This is something that IS NOT characteristic of a Roc, and I don't like it. Granted everyone throws differently, but I feel I have a pretty firm grasp on the Rancho mold, and what it is capable of. The Super Roc seems to fail in areas where the KC Roc excels at, and for the price and availability, you can't go wrong with a KC Roc.
That sums up the Super Roc perfectly. Rancho Rocs are great but pro plastic ages terribly, so the Super Roc is the only one of the bunch I wouldn't throw.
