San Marino anyone?

ahh yah Fresh of the INNOVAtion Press...

It's baaaaa-ackkkk... The San Marino Roc has been brought back to life! The San Marino is less overstable than the Rancho mold with less low speed fade—making it a straighter flier—but more overstable than the Ontario mold. For those collectors out there: Don't worry, the new mold is clearly distinguishable from the San Marino of the late 80's-early 90's.
new San Marino stamp

"The San Marino Roc is a little more stable than the Ontario mold. It has terrific glide down range, not tailing off as hard as the Rancho mold."

These discs are offered exclusively to tournaments to help promote the great game of disc golf.

get some.

I will have a few of these in a day or two. Looking forward to seeing how these came out in the DX. USDGC Rocs are coming up soon! Hard to imagine the possibility of having a CH Rancho, CH Ontario and CH San Marino in the BAG!

Wow ... that was fast shipping. They just got here!
First impression ... the plastic is sweet. Very firm feeling discs, and grippy, but not soft plastic. Very orange. I'll get out and throw them as soon as I can.

I threw mine today. I like the flight, stable with a nice fade. Very predictable. Flies like a Roc. I also threw my old '86 and although it's old, I have only been throwing it a little over a year, so it's far from broken in. I didn't notice any significant difference between the two discs.
These new San Marino's are definitely more stable, and have more fade than the new, or old Ontario mold. Far easier to control IMO than the Ontario. I will probably take the Ontario out of my bag once this disc gets broken in.

I think this disc might be good for those folks who like the 10x KC Rocs. Side by side, the dome looks exactly the same as a 10x Roc. I would LOVE to have one of these new San Marino's in KC Pro plastic!

Basically, I like it, and I think its another good Roc to have in the bag. Hope I can get my hands on a CH San Marino when they are available. Definitely want a Champion "thrower" in this mold!

OK, I'll make it official. The '08 San Marino is now my favorite Roc mold. I threw this disc all weekend ... and didn't even bother to pull out a KC Roc once. I love it.

Due to Innova's policy on New Released disc we were only able to get 50 Sani's from them at this time. Therefore we will not be using the Sani's as players pack discs. Which means we will have 50 sweet Sani's with an awesome Jax Open Tourney Stamp on them for sale at the tourney! Please come play some golf and buy a brand new San Marino Roc!
