For context, my only mid range for several years have been DX ROC3’s. I can tell no difference in my hand between the two molds though there is a very slight difference in rim shape when compared side by side. The Lion definitely has more glide than a ROC3 but also has a touch more “gentle” stability eg it doesn't have a hard fade more of a gentle arcing fade. I wouldn’t say this is a wind beater, more of a reliable shot shaper. Although Im not a fan of the infuse stamp I think the Lion will replace a new ROC3 in my bag (to compliment a seasoned ROC3) for the time being
