[Other] Best and Worst names for discs

[zontar]

my first two aces were with discs named for cats. animal names are the best!

 

[riltim]

From what I've read, the Roach may be Discraft's best putter and would fit my putting style very well. But because of its disgusting name, I refuse to buy or use it.

 

[Suspect]

Innova should make the "Bat". Especially on wooded course those things eat so many of those annoying mosquitoes.

 

[Suspect]

Kaxe means stuck up person so I dont like that haha.

Gator is a cool name.

I have noted that some of the "best" names also happen to be some of the best sellers. Buzzz, thunderbird, teebird, firebird destroyer, etc. Makes me wonder of companies know they have a winner disc on their hand and give it a great name or is it the great name that actually sells the disc. I wonder what would happen if the groove and the destroyer switched names?

Not sure since some discs like the Pole Cat have an odd name yet sell very well and the Birdie with the cool name related to the Golf/Disc Golf Scoring does not sell as well. The Wolf has a cool logo and cool name but due to its bad flight dose not sell well, mostly due to its odd flight path in the air. Roach is popular and not just due to Paul using now it was before that and it has a really bad name. Impact had a cool name but not enough people using it that disc that Discraft had to make the Glide for as close a replacement disc you can get that does not have the hatch marks that lots of players did not like. I could go on with more molds that had odd names that people like and discs with good names that people did not like. So it is a 50/50 on that.

Yeah just get a Jawbreaker and or X and just wipe the Roach name from the top of disc, those are the two plastics that do not have the picture on stamp. Yeah you will have a Roach but no name on top of the disc.

But that is not the point. The point is to refuse to spend money on a disc with that name.

Hey I use a disc with an odd name, Impact. That name makes me think of hitting a disc into a tree. Impoc, the sound a disc makes hitting a tree hard.

I'm that way about Gateway's discs.

 

[Suspect]

If a disc was named the Turd and I was unstoppable putting with it. I'll own 6 turds please haha

What? No 420 hate? DGCR you need to step your game up...

Personally, I think the Aerobee #2 was the worst. Nothing like naming a disc after a bowel movement.

The Luna and Sol sound like compact cars, that get great gas mileage.

 

[uncle pennybags]

Honda Civic Del Sol

 

[PMantle]

Or the Double names for one of the New Zealand Disc Golf Companies,

Pretty much the only names I don't like. Well, I also kinda don't like Prodiscus names because I am really not sure what to do with the i.

It's the moon and the sun

One of my favorite discs has a rather lackluster name. The TL.

Maybe because the TeeBird is such an iconic name, it seems lazy to me to just use initials for such a great disc.

 

[joecoin]

Need to use planetary names. It's time to ace with Uranus.

I know it was lazy but I think that Innova had meant that as the prototype name but became the actual name.
