3.29.07 - USDGC Roc Release

The online release of USDGC Rocs has been postponed one week. The new date is now Tuesday, April 10th at 2:00pm.

Many groundbreaking steps have been taken to foster maximum collectability of this year’s Champion and Star fund raising Rocs. Everything has taken longer than initially planned, primarily because every single decision has been carefully weighed to the tenth of a gram.

We want to make sure everything that can be done, is done, to make these Rocs some of the most coveted flying discs in history. Thanks to the advice and support of disc golf’s most devoted collectors, we are confident the market will be pleased with the additional steps taken this year.

Official tournament partner orders have all been taken with the exception of a few with phone numbers not in service. If you think that may be you, you need to call 800.476.3968 immediately. Otherwise this prized opportunity will become a missed one.

Of the 3000 discs in this run, nearly 2300 have been purchased by tournament partners and sponsors of the event. The low number remaining for a public release is unprecedented. It is important to note however, that 5 of the original 7 hot stamp designs are still available. Both Champion and Star discs remain, and many of the Rocs are max weights. Ontario mold seconds will also still be available.

Throwers definitely need to consider Factory Seconds. In many cases these discs have imperfections that will be difficult to find. From a performance standpoint, they are perfect. Factory Seconds will be available for $18.99.

Partner orders will begin to ship next week, no exceptions. Anyone claiming to have 2007 Rocs, or to have them physically on the way, is playing you. Be aware.

Thanks again to all those who believe so passionately in what we’re about. You will not be disappointed.
