Discraft Roach Disc Review

The Discraft Roach is a beadless, neutral putter built for point-and-shoot confidence. With a mellow 2 speed, 4 glide, 0 turn, and 1 fade, it tracks straight and finishes gently without dumping. It’s a smooth, clean-releasing option for players who want predictable landings and effortless carry from the circle to 200 feet. Equally at home in the chains or on straight tee shots in the woods.

Quick Flight Numbers

Why Throw It

• Laser-straight control: 0 turn and 1 fade hold your release angle and finish with a soft, predictable end instead of a hard hook.
• Effortless glide: The 4 glide adds surprising carry on standstills and touch approaches, so you cover distance without muscling the throw.
• Forgiving speed: At speed 2 it checks up quickly, reducing big skips and long comebacks on fast greens or hardpan.
• Beadless, clean release: The rounded rim comes out smoothly for consistent spin and accuracy—great for woods golf and low ceilings.
• One-disc versatility: Putt with it, drive with it, and shape hyzers or slight anhyzers; the neutral slot is easy to pair with an OS or US complement.

Who It Fits

• Beginners: Point-and-shoot stability with gentle fade makes learning true, straight putts and approaches simple.
• Intermediate: Trusty driving putter for straight tunnels and hyzer-flips; glides without flipping unpredictably.
• Advanced: Money putter and woods driver when you want minimal lateral movement; pairs well with a beefier OS putter for wind.

Shot Ideas

• Straight circle putts: Release flat; the 0/1 finish keeps it online and drops softly into the chains.
• Standstill approaches (60–180 ft): Flat, nose-down; let the 4 glide do the work and expect minimal ground play thanks to the speed 2.
• Gentle hyzer push: Start on light hyzer; with fade 1 it rides forward before a safe, predictable fall left (RHBH).
• Anhyzer hold-and-pan: Apply slight anhyzer; 0 turn resists burning while the disc holds and subtly pans back late.
• Low-ceiling laser: Smooth, flat swing; glide carries the line while the low speed helps it sit under branches without big skips.
