Take Control and Rule the Roost! | The Discraft First Run Roost is Here

Some discs begin with an identity while others earn it over time.

What is now known as the Roost originally started its journey under the working title (RW-0325-P Ricky Wysocki Prototype Putter). Like many early-stage concepts, the name served its purpose in development by identifying where the mold fit in the process. But as the disc continued to take shape, so did the vision behind it.

Along the way, the direction for this putter evolved. As that path became clearer, it was important that this disc had a name and identity of its own. That is where the Roost comes in.

What It Means to Rule the Roost

To rule the roost means to be in charge, to dominate the group, and to set the tone. That meaning is exactly what makes the Roost such a natural name for this disc.

A putter is not just another slot in the bag. It is often the disc that defines confidence, rhythm, and control throughout the round. The Roost is built to take on that role. From the moment it hits your hand, it is meant to feel like a disc you can trust. One that commands attention as your go-to option for putts, approaches, and touch shots where precision matters most.

That is what it means to rule the roost in disc golf. It is a disc that rises to the top of the order. It is not fighting for relevance in your bag, it is built to establish itself as the #1 putt and approach disc you want within reach.

Expected Flight

The Roost is a deep putt and approach disc with a hand feel that immediately stands out. It takes up more space in the hand than a shallower putter, giving it a substantial presence at release and a feel that players will notice right away. In flight, the Roost leans overstable, making it a dependable option for players who want a putter they can trust to handle torque and finish with confidence.

That combination of depth and overstability gives the Roost a unique place in our lineup. It is built for players who prefer a fuller feel in the hand and want a putt and approach disc that offers reliable stability for controlled putts, committed approaches, and short-range shots where confidence matters most.

But Why?

The Roost originally began as a putter developed for Ricky Wysocki. Ricky ultimately preferred the Focus for his putting needs, which meant this disc no longer had the path it was first created for. But that was not the end of the story.

Instead of shelving the mold entirely, we continued listening to feedback from Team Discraft players and consumers who saw real value in what the disc offered. While the Roost may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it brings something different to the table: a deep, overstable putt and approach disc with a strong feel in the hand and dependable flight. For players looking for that kind of profile, it was simply too good to leave behind.

Choose Your Feel: Putter Line vs. Putter Line Soft

The First Run Roost is available in both Putter Line and Putter Line Soft, giving players two distinct feel options depending on preference.

Putter Line offers a clean, dependable grip with a firmer hand feel that many players will appreciate for repeatable release and a confident connection at the point of release. It is a great option for players who like a more traditional putter feel and want something that stays consistent from putt to putt.

Putter Line Soft brings added flexibility and a slightly more forgiving feel in the hand. That softer blend can inspire extra confidence for players who prefer more tackiness and a touch more give, especially in situations where feel is everything. For those who like a putter that feels a little more settled in the hand, the Soft Roost offers a different experience while keeping the same core identity of the mold.

Try it for Yourself!

For players who liked the earlier version of this putter, the Roost represents the next step in that mold’s journey. It carries forward the foundation of what began in development while giving the disc a more defined identity and direction.

For players who were not fully sold on the earlier version, this release is a reason to take another look. Between the updated identity and the availability of both standard and Soft blends, the First Run Roost offers a fresh chance to see where this mold fits in your game.

Retailers can order these off the stock order form right now but be sure to grab yours when they drop at local retailers or at Discraft.com on April 17th!
