Gotspin - Your question has validity but I will answer it in its detailed answer. There is more to it than just seeing them fly once, twice or three times because anyone that tells me they know how a family performes by seeing them a few times, having a particular bird from someone, knows someone who has some etc does not understand rollers. It is through personal observation during an extended amount of time after that particular strain has come into maturity which includes breeding and flying. Once you have done this you can give your personal take on your experience only as others may have had a different one. To many times people give opinions on a family or families without this extended observation over time and it is just cow manure. Most that give a bad opinion of someone else either wants to make a sell or be in the "in crowd." Extended observation is the key.

I fly them for 2 seasons stock the best breed them and fly the young for 2 seasons or more and then evaluate them.

Guys the reason I asked the silly question to some...lol.. Is that we have a lot of newbees asking everybody in the world about families of roller, when they should be asking the person they purchased from! If you guys do not know what you purchased we do not know either!..lol

I think you have to fly them over and over agian and agian.. you judge the birds yourself.. how deep it spins, style, how frequent, how fast it spins, how it kits, trapping, how it is in the coop, the feel of it, and how it changes over time.. most people I know alway judge it by how it performs that few months they fly it.. got to give it time... see when the youngs come into rolls.. if they can control.. how tame are they.. and just if you like the way the perform as time goes..
