I really went into this video thinking I hated the roc/roc3. I was never a big fan of the hand feel of it. After throwing it a few times I see why people can love it.

Like a g neigh State Farm is there so yeah I don’t actually hate this disc what is going on you guys we’re going to be doing another rapid disc review for you today we’re going to be taking a look at the KC Pro Rock I’m going be
Trying to figure out what’s up with this disc why everybody Rants and Raves about it so much I personally don’t like the hand feel of the rock but we’re going to see if the flight can make up for it here the numbers on it 4403 if you
Didn’t know so pretty close to the zone so we got to we brought the zone out here to compare I don’t think it’s going to fly like the zone at all so I also brought the detour and the Pathfinder as well as a lobster in case it’s that
Flippy this one is a bit beat up and it’s a little lighter weight I think it’s in like the upper 160s so we’re going to get a good test here um a lot of people love their beat up rocks so we’re going to see why they like them so
Much so here’s a little side profile shot for you guys if you don’t already know the KC rock is a beaded mid-range pretty Dy this plastic is real stiff you can see this one’s a little worn so it should be nice and bead in for us to
Test out today today let’s get to it we’re going to throw the casy rock just see what it flies like pretty calm winds today tried to throw it a little flat and it just goes really straight a nice fade at the end that’s uh I mean it’s it’s hard to
Explain that flight it’s almost like it’s gentle it’s a gentle flight doesn’t have a lot of movement let’s try that against the Pathfinder I think it might compare pretty well to that I don’t think it’s going to be as over stabiliz the zone so we’ll see this against the
Pathfinder okay Pathfinder is definitely more stable um I might have given that a little bit of Hiser let’s try uh let’s try the detour see if that will be a closer comparison yeah I gave that one a little bit of Hiser again I think it’s going to be be pretty
Close to that detour guys I think that might be the ticket we’ll check it out so like I said before uh this rock is a bit beat in already I’m not sure how a brand new one would fly I’m sure they more overstable than that this one’s
Definitely got a little bit of turn it might honestly be closer to the Lobster in the stability but we’ll see we’ll keep testing it out I’m going to throw them on some anheiser next and we’ll see how they fight out I have a feeling that they’re just going to hold what am I
Doing way out of frame okay we’re just going to throw them out there on some anheiser this time I got a good feeling they’re just going to hold the turn and not not really try to fight out but uh we’ll see let’s do it out there okay throw the Rock
First yeah really good turnover though just really I mean didn’t try to cut roll or nothing like that um but it also didn’t really pan so we’ll see how’s it going okay so we’re going to check that out just the detour I think if I threw
The lobster like that it would just burn it I think this rock is probably in in between the detour and my Lobster which I don’t really have a slot to in my bag that compares to that it’ probably be like a like a brand new Lobster I’m
Going to throw the detour out there see how this one holds up all right little low but honestly really similar flight never tried to pan never tried to cut roll just held that angle that I gave it the whole way I mean the Frisbee looked like it just
Stayed on the same angle the entire flight just hand to the right I really like that I’ll show you guys for example my Lobster will will turn and burn if I do that this might be a roller I haven’t thrown an anheiser with this Lobster in
A long time so this could be a roller here oh no but it’s going to cut roll ah okay forget what I said I lied I don’t know my discs like I said I haven’t thrown that anzer with that Lobster it held up better than I thought it would
I’m starting to see why people like the rock it’s got a really good flight especially after you beat them up a little bit like this one I would be interested to test a brand new one and see how they fly see how beat in this
One is cuz the numbers on it are 4403 it seems like it should be more stable than this so I don’t know why I guess it’s just cuz this one’s a little lighter weight it’s definitely beat up but these were some pretty consistent shots with
The uh The Rock and The Detour here so you can see they’re like 5 ft away from each other okay we’re going to throw them out on some Hiser this time see if the Rock will flip up to flat or if it just holds the Hiser I’m kind of
Interested to see what it’s going to do cuz I know the detour and the lobster will flip up and turn so interested to see what this is going to do obviously the Flight of the rock is one of my favorite flights out of a mid-range just
That like Baby turn and a nice fade at the end it just really just goes dead straight that’s why I like the detour and the lobster so much they’re like my I mean the lobster I do have to put a little bit more Hiser on it’s starting
To get a little flippy anyway we’re going to throw them out there on some Hiser see how they hold up all right flipped up flat dead straight nice fade that’s that’s my favorite flight out of a out of a mid-range so I know if I throw that Lobster the same
Way like that um the same throw there it’s going to flip and turn too much so we’re you mind we’re going to take that out of the equation we’re going to throw this detour CU that was a really similar flight to this detour not the same line but look at that
Straight flight threw it on some Heiser it was going to fade but it hit that tree I mean those are the same flight I really think those are the same flight so if you’re looking for that detour slot in your bag right now just stick
With the rock I mean if you really like the hand fill of it unless unless it’s just drastically different to you feel like The Detour is kind of like that beat up KC Rock right out of the bag so I’d be interested to see what a brand
New Casey Rock flies like all right after that Heiser flight there I gotta say I do like the rock the Flight of the rock I’m not a fan of the hand feeli I’m going to keep saying that over and over it I mean it it’s pretty
Bad I can’t even explain how it feels you’re just going to have to feel it doesn’t feel like any other Disc Off disc that I felt now if I grabbed that as a beginner disc golfer and threw around a Casey Rock probably wouldn’t know the difference probably wouldn’t
Mind the hand fi in fact I’d probably like the hand Fel if I started with that disc so I think it’s great to for everybody the rock is amazing amazing flight get one beat it up it’s going to get you some flip and some turn I bet
Brand new out of the box they’re not as flippy they just go dead straight I bet with a nice fade so that sounds to me like a good disc like a good neighbor State Farm is there so yeah I don’t actually hate this disc it’s pretty good
It’s pretty good so yeah that’s going to be it for this one hope you guys enjoyed me hating on the Rock a little bit I really thought I wasn’t going to like this just because of the hand fail and everything but pretty good anyway that’s
Going to be it make sure you guys like comment subscribe see you on the next rapid disc review PE

Man I appreciate your frequent uploads! It inspires me to go out everyday and try to get better, especially seeing the progress you’ve made in such a short amount of time. After seeing your series of throwing 350 and 400 ft that really got me out there throwing and I finally hit my goal for the year to throw a 300 ft shot, hit 346 on Christmas Day! Just wanted to stop by and show some love and let you know that your content has positively impacted my disc golf game, I hope to in the future be able to play a round together
Love your humour and editing. Subscribed. Oh yeah, never been a fan of the Roc feel either. I've been switching between Hexes, Pathfinders and Reactors for a while now.
I can't stand the roc.
I get it was cool back when there were very few options; but its not even top 5 mids these days.
I own a roc3 in halo and champion plastic. Champion is super beat so its a lazer beam, Just got the halo one so its pretty stable
