Trinity. Not good enough (or perhaps too good) a title for disc golf. Just right for the first atomic bomb test.

"Getting 'prerubed'
The member Honis has cultivated such a strong friendship with is Clinton, Maryland native William Safford, who goes by the moniker prerube on the DGCR forums.
Safford, over the years, has gained fame as one of the site's more polarizing figures because of his propensity for encouraging the use of the site's search feature. When a new discussion thread is posted about a topic that has been covered numerous times, Safford will often post a response that links to the prior discussions, highlighting the fact that new threads will clutter the forums with redundant information.
In time, the term "prerube" came to be used as a verb, meaning — roughly — to use the search feature effectively.
Some users, even those who are relatively new to the site, will often qualify their posts with something along the lines of, "I searched for this already, so don't preube me," but Safford sees value in what he does.
"When I first started to 'prerube' people, there were only 3,000 threads," he said. "There are now three or four times that many threads, so the search feature is getting harder to use for the average DGCR user."
There are multitudes of users who object to Safford's posts, taking them as disrespectful rather than useful and claiming that, as an open discussion forum, people should be able to post what they want when they want.
Honis, though, feels like too much negative attention is thrust on his friend.
"The 'don't prerube me, man' stuff has always been misunderstood," Honis said. "I dare anyone to find a post where prerube himself posted a command to 'search first' without providing anything else that wasn't productive and helpful."
And for every user who doesn't see eye to eye with Safford's logic in keeping the forums efficient, there are many more — 118 more, to be exact — who support him as part of the Official Prerube Fan Club.
"My wife thinks it's hilarious that a mediocre disc golfer has a fan club with more than 100 members," Safford said.
And, to his credit, Safford sees his level of DGCR fame, so to speak, as a positive. In fact, he has become somewhat of a site historian, posting yearly recaps about DGCR's memorable moments.
"I actually love it. I have become the search feature's assistant," he said. "I get personal messages from people asking me to find specific posts or threads, and they are very grateful when I can find them.""

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the OP does. Hence, the creation of this thread.
DynaSide 64 rolls off the tongue splendidly in my opinion. :\
If you refer to the post I quoted above yours you will find your answer.

"Soccer" is the nickname for "Association football", analagous to referring to "Rugby football" as "rugger". "American" and "Canadian" football evolved from Rugby, though there are also more than one kind of rugby: Rugby Union and Rugby League, with different rules and field markings. Then there is "Australian rules football," or "football," or "footy," as they call it in Australia, which also heavily involves running around the field with the ball in hand. Check the links below for some confirmation of that.

That sounds like a chemical Dow or Monsanto produced back in the Jurassic Age.
Either that or something that could be bought at GNC to burn fat.
Oh, I know the history of all these games. Just trying to show the OP that there are no shortage of things in the world bearing a moniker that perhaps doesn't reflect its current state of being as well as some other moniker could in a linguistic sense, but was stuck with out of respect for tradition, or because it sounded more marketable, or for whatever reason.
L.A. Lakers anyone?

Thinking about launching my own line of discs and calling it Trinity. First offerings would be:
The Father: A stable putter... that likes stable boys
The Son: Roc/Buzzz love child
The Holy Ghost: A very shapable fairway driver that seemingly has the ability to pass through trees on well wooded holes.
