Disc Spotlight: Roc3

Roc3Star Status

In early results from Innova’s 2025 Disc Golf Survey, the Roc3 is neck-and-neck in the race for your favorite Mid-Range. Faster than the Roc, with reliable stability, subtle turn, and a predictable forward fade, the Roc3 has been in bags across skill levels since its release. But how did it climb all the way into the ranks as a top contender for Innova’s most loved Mid? Here’s how.

Built on the Roc, Only Faster

The Roc3 took Innova’s quintessential Mid — the Roc — and gave it extra speed. That small bump makes a big difference. The Roc3 carries farther without asking for much more effort, while keeping the Roc’s defining traits: workable stability, straight-line control, and a fade that pulls forward instead of dumping out. It’s stable and far-flying for its speed. And just like the original, it’s great for disc cycling: bag an abused one, a used one, and a new one for three flight characteristics from the same familiar mold.

Proven at the Top of the Game

When your favorite player trusts and leans on a specific mold, that earns it a reputation. Calvin Heimburg has relied on the Roc3 for years — from his 2023 Player of the Year season to this year, when the disc helped him win his first Major and the DGPT Championship.

“The Champion Roc3 has kind of become a workhorse for me… All straight Mid-Range shots I’m basically using this Mid.”

— Calvin Heimburg

In 2025, he led the DGPT field in Scramble Rate and ranked second in Fairway Hits — both heavily aided by his precise, line-holding confidence with the Roc3.

One Mold, Many Personalities

The Roc3’s material range is another reason it’s climbed the ranks. Each blend brings slight shifts in stability and feel, letting players tune the Roc3 to match their ideal Mid-Range.

DX seasons into straighter flights and, over time, can become that perfectly beat-in Mid that just keeps drifting right. Champion and Halo Star offer more torque resistance and a touch of extra fade. Across every plastic, the Roc3 keeps the traits it’s known for: trustworthy stability, clean lines, and a predictable, forward finish.

The Case for the Roc3

The Roc3 has earned its place near the top because it flies straight with pace and finishes predictably. It has proven itself at the game’s highest level and comes in weights and materials you can tune to your game. Bottom line: the Roc3 didn’t just fall into popularity, it earned it.
