Default Question about the various types of rocs..
Ontario is understable
San Marino is straight
Rancho is slightly overstable
KC pro is a little more overstable than Rancho

What about
Classic Roc
Super Roc
and most importantly for my knowledge, the flat roc??

Sorry... I could have added more.

Classic Roc - I don't throw a bunch so I would have to defer to someone who throws these. I do know that they are more stable than an Ontario.

Super Roc - these are also more overstable but you can definitely get over on them. They are probably most similar to a NEW KC Pro.

Flat Roc - this is the most stable of Rocs that I carry in my bag. I flip it and if I get the height and the snap right, it comes back perfectly every time. I also use this for short hyzer shots that most might throw a Gator at.

I carry 5 Rocs in my bag .. I took my classic Roc out because it was too overstable for what I wanted to do with them. I use my DX Roc for overstable stuffs. I have found my super Roc to be pretty overstable too, although not as bad as my classic. I only just got my Ontario so I haven't had much experience with it yet. but it seems to be overstable also. that could be because it is brand new.

I;m not sure about a flat roc .. not sure I know what that is. My Classic Roc seems very flat on top, much flatter than all my others.

I also like Valks and leopards. I have 5 leopards and at least 4 Valks that I carry everywhere. Different weights and types (pro, DX, champ, star etc..)

I do mean the Ching Rocs... though I gave Jamie an understamp that is nearly as flat as the Chings I have.

Depending on the plastic of the Ontario, they get very overstable. I have a star that is still stable but a DX that I can practically flip to a roll.

Okay... umm in comparison to a kc pro roc then. I throw my KC pro rocs straight with a little fade and sometimes it is not enough for me and actually turns over easily at 175g. Looking for something a tad more overstable than a 180g KC Pro Roc, is this ching roc more or less stable than the 180g KC pro Roc?

For overstable, i would use a DX Roc, they are cheap and work best for overstable .. IMO.

I believe Ching Rocs are $10 at most places - just a few bucks more and well worth it considering it is more overstable and will stay so for much longer.

Not all "Ching Rocs" are flat and I've seen quite a few generic dx rocs that are flat as pancakes.
The flatty rocs are really lousy discs and I wouldn't blame you for wanting to get rid of them. So, if anyone has any for sale or trade let me know.
