Future Disc Names?

[Consult20]

No rape?

Well who knows who/what's behind that wall?

 

[bbnet]

introducing the new Aviga - short for avigation, meaning aerial navigation

 

[@iDiscGolf]

Maybe someone silly enough will come out with a wombat or a wahoo?









Wait..... :\

 

[beereakfast]

MVP could put out A Trion. Named after a seriously sick car....

If I ever somehow end up with my own line of discs, my names would be right to the point. Molds would have names like "Reliable Midrange". And "Accurate Putter". And "Predictable Driver". My plastic grades would also be straight to the point in terms of function. My Champ-style premium would be called "Durable Plastic". My baseline would be called "Cheap Plastic". Yes. This must happen.

I second this.

And the stamps can be pictures of the disc itself printed on to the disc...

"Don't waste your money" plastic

 

[brandocommando9]

"Don't waste your money" plastic

That's harsh. I would go with something like, cycling plastic.

I was thinking the stamps should be the disc name in big plain block font, with the plastic grade above the disc name in the same font, but smaller.

Cheap Accurate Putter. Durable Predictable Driver. And so forth.

We need a classic rock lineup:

Stairway To Heaven - Elevates like no other disc on the market (probably due to Alien technology)
Desperado - When you're up the proverbial creek without a paddle
Welcome To The Jungle - Perfect for those heavily wooded courses
Another One Bites The Dust - Cheapest baseline disc on the planet, good for 1 throw
Hey Hey What Can I Do - When you have no clue what to do
Life In The Fast Lane - Moves at 100mph no matter how you throw it
Knockin On Heavens Door - The Epic on Russian grade steroids
Pinball Wizard - Wooded hole? No problem! This disc knows what to do
Good Vibrations - Sweetest putter on the market
Hello Goodbye - Your go to on those water holes that always get you
Edge Of Seventeen - Only useful on the 16th hole
Rock You Like A Hurricane - Makes a Firebird look like a Sidewinder
Beast Of Burden - A workhorse; drive, upshot, putt, it does it all!
Carry On Wayward Son - Will basically do whatever it wants and you will come to terms with that
2000 Light Years From Home - When you really need a black ace
Magic Carpet Ride - Best skip disc, ever!
Emotional Rescue - Nikko signature disc
She Blinded Me With Science - Hate MVP but have a woody for gyro? Then this is the overmold for you
Born In The USA - Made in Sweden
Can't Stand Losing You - You will never get over losing this disc, it's that sweet
Over The Hills And Far Away - Longest disc on the market. Average find time is 30 minutes
Breaking The Law - 5.0cm rim width. Snub your nose at the PDGA
Dust In The Wind - 10 glide disc. Avoid winds above 0.1 mph
Dear Mr. Fantasy - When you belong in rec but find yourself playing open
Bring It On Home - Money putter

So I'm sitting here wondering why I have never bothered to throw any Discmania. I think it is because the names of their discs just don't catch my attention.
...

Discmania could use the DDDDDDDD45...:|

Actually, interestingly enough, the additional names like Freak for PD and Hysteria for DD and so on, were the idea of Dave Dunipace, exactly because he thought the other naming practise would not attract new buyers as easily. Later on, when Discmania caught on, they dropped the naming practise (as well as the character stamps) because they are now an established manufacturer and people seemed to root for the clean style more.

I'd love to see Innova come out with the "Tiger" as a speed 9-10 disc.
This would at least give them one mammalian disc between the leopard3 and the teedevil.

 

[Six Card Charlie]

A disc that holds what ever line you put it on called "the drone"

I would say they know their market well with the naming conventions. Apparently in Europe people have responded well to the sport stamp/naming convention. Makes it pretty easy as a beginner to form your bag: P series: putter, MD series: midrange, FD series: fairway. I would argue this is a more intuitive system than what Prodigy does with letters/numbers and the show names Innova uses. But for the half of the community that loves animals and lore behind the names, I can see where this doesn't resonate.

Dabo Swinney model? Great idea, it would allow everyone that uses it to say they get no respect when playing well with the disc although they are rated #1 in their local club, state, etc. and then ramble on constantly with foolish catch phrases. Also has the ability to offer up other ridiculous names for discs like, "the fool," "the guts" and the AI for "all in."

Discraft already makes the drone...

 

[ThrowBot]

I would like to see Innova finally finish what they started with the Roc, Orc, and Cro. There aren't even that many more available permutations!

Cor, Ocr, Rco...I can think of convincing pronunciations for a least 2 of those.

Your idea reminded me of this:

I should have phrased it as "Don't waste your money on anything but putters" plastic...
