[Discraft] Thoughts on the name of the 2014 Ace Race Disc

[Declarkus]

I like Stinger and Dragonfly

These are all fighter aircraft names from Wikipedia. A bunch have already been used, and Albatross, Gnat and Scorpion are on the list.

Swift
Falcon
Warthog
Tomcat
Raptor
Ascender
Heron
Harrier
Crusader

Wile E (as it's supposed to be a RR killer)

Raptor is the best so far!! Fast and versatile and deadly!!

Bring back the name Storm.

Two separate molds sharing the same name sounds like the very definition of confusion and trouble. My son and I both bag a 150 Z Storm and he bags a 175 X as well.

Bring the Storm back in Big Z with a sick stamp please

Confusion, yea. Trouble? Nah.

It's too cool of a name not to use.

I readily admit that HiFi's idea is better.

 

[JedV]

Tits.

These are super domey discs.

 

[DesertFox]

Typhoon? They already have Cyclone and Storm

 

[Ted Bratton]

Ooh raptor is sick

Yeah, but not by a brand anyone cares about...

I personally like Heron, but given that it's a longer Avenger SS I'm just going to call it the LASS for the time being and call it a day.

edit: oops, just noticed the Raptor is a short lived Innova disc. So one was a relevant brand.

 

[dannyboy0076]

I think it will definitely make it to production. I haven't thrown an Avenger SS because honestly the only Discraft discs im partial to are the Magnet and Buzzz. But I've been doing a good bit of field work with it and it's just as long as my valks and fury's. It also has the slightest bit of stability to finish left, whereas the valk's and fury's either finish right or dead straight. But that may just be the way i throw. If i didn't already have 2, i would buy one.

 

[Jintaq]

While the bee theme is ever popular and bugs in general with Discraft (and a good marketing strategy), this disc fits into a faster category that typically does not receive bug naming conventions.

Names like Force, Surge, Pulse, Flash, Crush, and Flick are more in that disc range I believe. I expect the naming to follow. One syllable word that describes an event with impact.

Draft
Push
Rise
Swell
Beam
Burst
Ray
Spark

Possibilities also include (because Discraft is silly like that)

Flash SS
Crush SS
Flick SS
