Disc names they *should* have used

[TheGroover]

What disc names should Innova et al be using?

It's no use using a disc called the Surge when you've got a weeny arm. Or a Chain Slammer when you're awful at putting. So, what names should they be using? [and what marketing strap line would they have?]

I give you the following drivers:
Worm Burner
Tree Hugger
Deep Blue
The Slug

And my putter:
The Fly-By

Anyone else got any better ideas? Maybe the good ones will end up in INFlight.

Mid-Range

The Blunderbuss

From Wikipedia, I'm sure you could modify this into a discgolf 'marketing' spiel...

Most of these weapons are mid-sized, being smaller than most shoulder-fired arms, but larger than a pistol. Although fitted with a butt, the dimensions suggest that most were not really intended to be fired from the shoulder and were instead fired from the hip.
By its nature, the blunderbuss is not a very precise weapon.Although it was sometimes used in a military setting, it was more effective when the goal was not to hit a specific target, but rather any one of multiple targets, such as for crowd control. During combat, the blunderbuss was a very unpredictable weapon; it could hit an entire group of enemy soldiers or miss all of them. The blunderbuss thus became a byword for inaccurate marksmanship in any field. As well, the word itself came to mean "a clumsy or stupid person".

A few discs in regards to my own experience

The Cloaker, a unique disc that although being hotpink still seems to disappear without a trace in the shortest of undergrowth.

flip n role, aka recreational disc, a disc that although on the surface, seems a simple well balanced object, turns out to die and roll without explanation, useful in some circumstances, but sadly not yet PDGA approved.

And finally, the quarterC, a distant cousin of the discwing monster, that although you put every ounce of strength and skill into the huck still seems to end up at the JT (please don't hurt me jonny)

The Flapper - guaranteed to wobble throughout its flight duration.

The all-new Innova Slob - not sure what that would do, but i'm sure it would be rubbish, slow, and heavy.

Us vegetarians have been crying out for a range of discs that aren't named after nasty carnivores...

the DX Broccoli
Elite-X Aubergine
Cruiseline Cabbage
ESP Cauilflower
Star Sprout
Pro potato

There's a lot of mileage in fruit too

Champion Pineapple
DX Banana - it bends like a dream, gaurenteed never to fly straight
Pro Mango
Cruiseline Coconut - will plumet from a tree so will never get stuck, but will also float as u watch it drift out to sea
Star Fruit

Or more Sea life ...

Champion Sea Cucumber
DX Molosuc
Cruiseline Crustatian
Pro Enenimy
Star Fish

.. ok, i'll stop now

.. ok, i'll stop now

I think that would be best.

Pro Tato - best one yet although initial reviews say its prone to - yes you guessed it - chipping.

From the obscure world of forestry and timber

Adze - will shave shots off your score
Cant Hook - great anhyzer disc
Peavy - ditto but with a pointyier rim profile
Froe - will split the fairway every time


A putter called Chastity - never goes through the chains.

Whirl Wind - always blows about, but knows where its going ...


... even if the thrower doesn't
