I remembered when the VRoc came out and I was wondering why they bothered with another Roc variation. This disc doesn't even resemble a San Marino or Rancho or even a Roc3, but what it does do is fly like a mildly beat in Rancho Roc right from the get go with good glide and an easy late fade. It could be a great go to midrange for many people. I like a touch more stability to my go to, but this is definitely a great workable disc on a lot of lines.

THIS is the Roc I was looking for! It has the straight flight the Roc is famous for with less fade. It is torque resistant, but you can still get it to turn nicely with a bit of anhyzer, or a long fade with a touch of hyzer.(rhbh)  Thrown flat, it is incredibly straight with a light fade. I have just found my new go-to midrange!

I got this disc in a mystery box, and I'm so glad I did!  (Thanks InfiniteDiscs!)  It is silky smooth!  The disc feels good in the hand and just soars!  Mids are an area that I need to expand on and the VRoc has set the standard.  The discs travels so straight and has a small amount of fade at the end of the flight.  I don't really like to flick this disc, the rim is just a bit deep to get that same good feeling upon release I get with a backhand, but to be fair, that's not what the disc was made for.  It is a perfect deep approach shot for when a putter might not make, or if you have a tunnel shot.  

I have the vRoc is Chamption so this is a review on that version.

I bought 2 of the Euro Championship runs as collectors but the itch to throw it bit hard. So I took one out and surprisingly really like the feel in the hand and how easy it felt to throw.

Once the Proto Star champions where released I bought another as a backup and one for a friend that then decieded he didn't want it. In total I think I have 6 champion vRocs. I currently bag 2.

It flies really nice for me. Lay it out flat and it will come back with a nice fade at the end. Flies very similar to a Fuzion Truth (which I took out of the bag cause of the overlap). Put it out on a hyzer line and it will hold that line all the way. Put it on an anny line and it will go right with a nice fade back left in the end. 

Used it in a tournament over the weekend with steady winds of 25 mph and gusts up to 45 mph and it performed exactly how I expected it. It fought the wind and faded just like on a calm day.

I also hit my first ace with a vRoc so this is a very specail disc for me.

I'm not an Innova fanboy but this disc made me rethink my midranges and do some field work to compair it against what I usually throw. If you're looking for a stable disc with a slight fade at the end then give this a shot. 

Do We Need ANOTHER Roc?

I'm a Roc guy. Have been for years. One of the main reasons I don't test many other mids is that they all feel weird to me if they aren't a Roc. Ditto with fairway drivers that aren't Teebirds. Long story short, I have a huge stockpile of Rocs (as in 25 or more) which is a stupid and pathetic amount of one type of disc but hey, I liek what I like.

For my straight/understable Rocs I generally like to beat up a DX or KC Roc, preferably flat-topped. Right now I'm actually using a Champion Ontario Roc that is well used. I really have no need for a VRoc but I got to try one at this weekend's league. It certainly feels like a Roc in the hand. The wing, however, has the new Innova "V Tech" which is a little weird. All it really is, is a double rounded nose. The bottom of the nose rounds under gently rather than a more steep angle typically found on other discs (including other Rocs.) In a power grip or a sidearm, you really can't feel any difference. When using a fan grip, however, I could really tell I was throwing a different disc. It was suprisingly comfortable, and it took me very little time to adjust to it (even though I rarely through mid ranges with a fan grip, anyway.)

The flight of the VRoc was very similar to my Ontario. Powered up, you will see a small, tight s-curve with some gentle high speed turn and a bit of fade. On a small hyzer, it will flip to flat and have a more gentle fade than a fresh Rancho Roc or Roc3. The VRoc easily holds a smooth hyzer line and is actually pretty easy to sidearm without turning over. I had quite a bit of trouble getting it to hold an anhyzer to the ground like my Ontario Roc...the VRoc would always fight out at the end, With more work, I'm sure I could dial it in, but it was certainly not as easy to do so as my Ontario Roc or a beat up DX Roc. It was also a little too overstable to hyzerflip into a laser beam with no fade. 

The VRoc is an out of the box understable Roc, but it's still a Roc. It's much straighter Roc, but if you're expecting an instant turnover disc, you'll be dissapointed. However, this is a great Roc for begginer's who need a mid with a little more stability but maybe don't have the arm for a Rancho Roc.

When the V Roc is released in stock Champion or DX, I could see myself picking one up and slowly seasoning it as an alternative to my Champion Ontario or a beat DX/KC Pro.

I recently got my hands on a first run 180 gram champion version of this disc, and I have to say, it wasn't quite what I had expected; which is neither a good nor bad thing.

For those who haven't thrown anything with a VTech rim setup, the convex shape of the rim makes the disc initially feel a little odd in your hands, but it isn't noticable while throwing. The VTech (convex) rim configuration does fill the hand a little more than a traditional (concave) wing setup, so this may turn away some people who like a 'smaller feeling' rim on their disc. As with the other VTech style discs I've thrown, the bead on this disc is quite large, which again may turn away people who like the whole 'smaller feeling' rim on their disc; although the bead is slightly larger than a traditional Roc, I don't think someone who is used to throwing a disc with a larger bead (like a Roc or a Gator) would have any problem getting used to it.

Although the physical properties of the disc are exactly what I had initially expected, the flight properties of the disc didn't quite match my expectations. Going in, I was expecting this disc to fly like a Roc; decent wind fighting properties achieved through slightly less than normal glide, paired with a decent amount of low speed fade. After a few throws, it really didn't feel like this disc was even in the same family as the Roc I had grown to love so long ago. When the VRoc comes off of your hand, those first brief moments of flight mirror what I was expecting of a Roc; strait, without a huge amount of glide. In my opinion, this is where the similarites to a traditional Roc end. About a second or so before you would expect any Roc (Rancho, Ontario, San Marino) to start to fade, this disc simply appears to start to power down. It begins to lose a substantial amount of glide and starts to fall, not even fade, slightly to the left (RHBH). Into headwinds, tailwinds, and crosswinds of all types, that is what this disc did. If you put any angle on it (anny/hyzer) the disc will very briefly hold that angle, but quickly flatten itself out, flying strait for the remainder of it's flight, ending with a very, very slight fade at the end. This proved to be true almost regardless of the amount or direction of the wind, or even the amount of snap you have in your throw; the latter being due to the VTech wing configuration. Honestly, I feel as if the lack of glide, in combination with the trait VTech wing configurations have to have a very late onset of fade reduced the appearance of that fade you have grown to love in a Roc.

Although it didn't really feel like it was a Roc in the way that it flew, the flight did remind me of Mako in which had a lot less glide, and a ton more resistance to wind and snap when throwing; which is an amazingly desirable thing in my opinion!
