Worst disc name ever?

[jsc430]

The Felon. A company putting themselves(and their customers) in association with that word is just dumb IMO. Even if they're all Criminal Justice related.

 

[Stardoggy]

Sinus.

As a guy with allergies, the name alone makes me never want to touch one.

 

[apdrvya]

I cringed when I heard "whale"

 

[discgolfertub]

Whaoo :gross:

 

[youdidwell]

Train Wreck.

I don't mind the pot references, but why would you want to throw a train wreck? A train wreck implies problems not a reliable disc.

Skeeter - I don't want to throw a disc names after the most annoying pest in Minnesota. Even the DX has a picture of the little blood sucker. What exactly was the Innova marketing department thinking about?

Honorable mention - Bee Line and Quarter K II (they didn't learn after Quarter K - and what exactly is a 1/4 K?)

Isn't Quarter K a reference to a quarter of a kilometer, 250 meters (roughly 750 ft), the distance potential that the disc has in the right hands? That's roughly what I was told by a local who throws one. And no, he doesn't even get half of that distance with the disc

honestly . . . any of the ones coming out that are named after weed. just too corny for me.

Agreed, the Spicoli character in Fast Times ruined competitive surfing in the US for several years due to a similar situation and stereotype associated with a burnout that was a casual surfer. I only remember one am surfer and one pro surfer that ever won anything similar to the character but the stereotype was there for years until Curren and Kelly became household names in the US.

I also think Stalker is a terrible name for a disc. One of the worst things I have ever witnessed in dg was the Stalker was given out in a players pack at a sanctioned tournament where the proceeds from the event went to an organization that protects and advocates for abused and assaulted women. The TD and manufacturer must not have seen the name of the disc being disrespectful which polarizes bigger issues in the sport.

Oh, that hurts.

Axiom Wrath. I love Wraiths and hate that this name is so close.

Wrath goes with Envy, as two of the Seven Deadly Sins. But I agree that they should have chosen a different name.

Crank and the roid rage gorilla stamp

Crank and the roid rage gorilla stamp

I always thought the guy in the stamp was doing Crank.

I voted for Apple.
Since I'm used to discs being given cool names that symbolize something, I wonder where "Apple" came from? Maybe that's why they didn't release a grape and peach and maybe a pomegranite?
I could just imagine someone coming on here and insisting that everyone have an "all fruit and vegetable bag".
Maybe it would appeal the the vegans among us.

Apple seems like the oddest one to me, I wonder what the story behind that name was? Seems weird to name a flying object after something that helped Newton discover gravity.

 

[teemkey]

I have to go with Napalm. Bad juju.

 

[JC17393]

Ace and Birdie

Talk about some misleading advertising.

 

[davetherocketguy]

How did the Aerobie #2 not make the list?

 

[sprintermatt]

the Apple was a catch disc, not a golf disc. So it really doesn't count other than it was made by a disc golf manufacturer (and sent in for APProvLE).

Fireball is pretty dumb.
