Default RW-Rancho Roc

So I got my rubber wood roc in the mail today. I open the package and what do I smell, peanut butter. And what does the disc look like...peanut butter. So now I am sitting here with a very very flat, grippy roc that is making me hungry. Though I am excited to see how this thing flies tomorrow. Silly Innova mixing plastic and wood polymers.

Oh, I see. It's a disc made of Trex. Cool.

Not quite Trex, much more plastic than wood polymer, but close I suppose.

Default RW Aviar

I have the Aviar, and I like it, if nothing else it makes it easy to pick out my putter against everyone elses. The Aviar smells like being in high school wood shop, maybe a pine or a fir smell, no peanut butter for me. I am wondering how the roc flies and if it is worth picking one up? I am going to try and dye the aviar in the near future... Thanks

Hey Carlos, which Aviar mold is this? Beadless, small bead, or big bead?

I am not an aviar collector, but it is beadless. It has a larger profile and diamter than the JK Aviar-X which I used to putt with, but it is pretty small still.

The regular RW-Pro Rancho (not the redwood) does not have the same level of stability compared to a KC or DX Rancho. Closer to an Ontario.

That's strange. My 180 RW-Pro Rancho is much more stable than my new KC Pro Roc and my moderately beat in Dx Glow Rocs. I always thought the flatter the top, the more stable.

Next thing coming is a Discraft disc that smells like Jelly.
