Yes, it's roughtop.
The audible indication of slippage is definitely reduced, no screeching at all.
Whether it is because of the compliance of the tread is gripping the Frisbee better or because it's dampening the sound out isn't really clear.
We can tell by a couple sections of the video that the slipping appears to be greatly reduced. That is part of why we added the mark on the small piece of pool noodle on the hub.
With the hard tread, we were actually transferring material from the Frisbee to the tread. The tread was becoming whiter with every pass. With the roughtop, we saw no transfer to the tread, and the tread has shown no signs of wear....yet.
