Choose it for

Straight approaches and putts. Discraft’s advice is to point and shoot, and it suggests the Roach for approaches as well as putts.

Choose something else if…

You putt and approach into the wind a lot. A neutral, gliding putter is pushed around more than an overstable one such as the Challenger.

What the Roach flight numbers mean

Glide 4 with turn 0 and fade 1 is a neutral, gliding flight. With a stability rating of 0 it should go where you aim with only a small fade at the end.
