Zombee - New name for the 2012 Ace Race disc

[Marksen]

The disc is now approved.
New name
Zombee

At least that´s what they say on discgolfsweden

 

[Mad Scientist]

Whaaat? I get the "Zombee" reference, but it's a little disappointing to see them jump on the whole zombie bandwagon :\

 

[HarkeyPuck]

Might be a cool stamp if Innova or Discmania did it.

i heard it was actually flowbee

 

[freakinwizzz]

if its true that name sucks. sorry discraft

 

[ZAMson]

Sweden gets the info out first. PDGA site is slow to update.

googled the term for an image, and thought this was the coolest so far. most of the rest were too cutesy for my tastes
(from the world of cycling, ht to zombee508):

I'm gonna be that guy and ask: Does a name really matter? I would still throw the Axis even if it were called the Flaccid. If it works, it works.

In this case, the Flaccid probably would be a term for a disc that doesn't work, but you get my drift.

 

[discspeed]

Discraft takes the cake as the worst disc namers in the sport. Super cheesy? Check. Jumping on some pop culture phenomenon? Check. Abusing an already tired naming scheme? Check.

My god that's an awful name on multiple levels.

Wow, that's a horrible name. I get trying to work in bee/wasp terms into the name, but for reals... Zombee?? I thought that I remember seeing a poll or name suggestion box on the Ace Race site. Is that what won?

It's not a bad disc. It's not a great disc, but it's not a bad disc. Zombee?? That's a terrible name for that disc, IMO.

I would still throw the Axis even if it were called the Flaccid.

I will nominate this as quote of the year.

 

[McFer]

I think it's supposed to be pronounced like in that old Cranberries' song.

Zah-uhm-bee-ee-ee.

 

[kingjames1014]

Really? Zombee? i'm glad i traded both of mine.
btw i have 4 axes. they are all stiff and straight TYVM.

 

[Grungedude42]

I hope this is a red herring. If not, glad I sold one and traded the other for a CFR Gator.

 

[wwchart]

Platebee would be better

 

[HarkeyPuck]

Platebee would be better

[simpletwist]

I like the disc and could care less what they name it.

the name is so bad i might pull the disc from the bag. I wonder if they don't plan to release it so they don't care about the name? I hope they do release it because it is a solid disc.
