Discraft Roach Flight Chart
The Discraft Roach is a beadless, straight-flying putter with flight numbers of 2 | 4 | 0 | 1. Originally released as the 2015 Ace Race disc, the Roach delivers exceptional glide and a clean, consistent release. Known as one of Discraft’s most versatile putt and approach discs, it excels for both putting and driving with effortless control and minimal fade.
Flight Path for Newer Players
Beginners will find the Roach extremely forgiving. Thrown flat, it flies straight with a soft, forward fade that keeps it on line. The gentle turn and high glide make it a perfect first putter for learning distance control and consistent putting form. The comfortable beadless rim ensures clean releases for players still developing their technique.
Flight Chart Insights for Intermediate Throwers
Intermediate players will appreciate how easy it is to shape lines with the Roach. It’s ideal for long putts, straight approaches, and gentle turnovers. Thrown with power, it maintains a neutral line before finishing smoothly. Its floaty glide gives surprising range—great for point-and-shoot accuracy up to 200 feet.
Flight Numbers in Practice for Advanced and Pro Golfers
Advanced players rely on the Roach for its predictable neutral flight and clean feel. When thrown with touch, it holds any line you put it on—hyzer, flat, or anhyzer—and resists turn without dumping early. It’s especially dependable for spin putts and low-ceiling approach drives that require precision over power.
Forehand and Driving Performance
While primarily a backhand putter, the Roach can handle short forehand flicks thanks to its straight stability and rounded rim. In premium plastics like ESP or Big Z, it maintains shape under torque and stays true on release. Great for controlled forehand approaches under 200 feet.
