This new prototype has the stability of a long range range driver, which is the ability to flip up a little but enough resistance to turn to not flip too much, then a long glide pattern with lots of penetration and a predictable slow fade at the end. I’m pretty confident it is good to go and we will get into full production next week; we just need to name it! Please comment with your ideas and suggestions.
New driver name D MacBomb
Aurora
The Bob Dole
Name it the Shogunate or Shogun
BULLET…
the stealth
Name ideas… Commando, Hellion, Jackyl, Marauder, Stealth…
Just a few… Be nice to try out a proto… I’m just sayin!!
You could call it “Secret Weapon”. Like after launching a bomb off the tee your buddy asks, “what was that?”, and you just smile and say, “thats my “Secret Weapon'”
abc discs uses that name
The Flight or The Shadow
Sounds like a Navigator!!
The Gateway “Blitz”
Blitz: heavy attack
Synonyms: assault, blitzkrieg, bombardment, bombing, lightning attack, offensive, onslaught, raid, shelling, strike
i think a good name for the new prototype disc is the ARCHER
Without a doubt, it should be named the “Phantom”.
i will out the javelin as a name
Gateway – Stream
or
Gateway – Leviathan
Played the Act VII yesterday and won one in the basket competition prelims. Guys were calling it the Proto. Beat that.
Anasazi for this new driver. And Seminole for the next overstable high speed driver.
You should call it the UFO.
In keeping with the Native American theme, how about Mohave (Mojave). Or with the devilish theme, how about hellion.
Phantom is already a discraft disc. I was thinking maybe thunder or possibly the flying saucer.
terminator, black hawk, stealth, reminds me of the star trek “enterprise” with what looks like a concave portion on the top. sr-71, breakneck.
look like a UFO maybe is the name 4 the disc? or torturer, shockwave, soul, accursed, phoenix.
Aplomb – noun. 1. irrefutable self-possession, poise, confidence or assurance. 2. perpendicular, or evenness. 3. stability.
From the synopsis, this disc will provide great stability with a flight trajectory that will correct itself from being obtuse. Furthermore, every player needs to have that type of conviction with the disc in their hands while on the pad. So what if people miss pronounce Aplomb by calling it the A-bomb from Gateway. A long range driver should be explosive anyway.
Gateway SEAL ….for seal team six.

IncogNikko

Samurai. It fits in with the theme of the other drivers; silent and deadly. Apache, ninja, assassin … samurai
THE STINGER
the impulse or the sumoner
Gateway Scourge
Gateway Shockwave
Gateway Ravage
Gateway Dark Matter (ufo theme)
When you get around to making a larger diameter slow putter (like a big ryhno) it needs to be called the Winnabego. Some of us have large hands and could use a bigger putter, like a juju but better, the way Gateway would make one.
With the devilish theme how about the Cenobite. The name of the demons in hellraiser movies.
Dave, here are some ideas for your next long range driver.
Gateway : Archmage, Chieftain, Shaman, Shadow, Infernal
what about Max-D, or SST, Black Bird, how bout Nitro? how about Fat Man…and a putter named little boy lol or the Accursed, that’s what people you throw it against will be calling it no doubt lol. Cruise Missle…this thing can reach Cuba!!! Air Raid…
sounds pretty Wicked.
yeah, id go with the Wicked
here’s a few. eliminator, enforcer, machete, scalpel, sword, torpedo, and villain. It sounds like a good flyer, can’t wait to pick one up.
how about “the raptor” or “the comanche” or maybe “the phoenix” or even “the sennin”
I have a better one forgot Aurora was taken.
Pickle
Zeppelin
Sierra
Quick Fix
Radar
Sputnik
Is Nikko going to throw it instead of a Destroyer? I’d call it the LeFastro if so.
Name it the Gateway – Gargoyle
I had a dream once where I was doin it to this super hot Gargoyle chic with like D cups. Think of the hottest Gargoyle you could imagine and multiply it by like three and a half. Any way when I told my lesbian ex girlfriend (long story) about my Gargoyle sex dream she reacted like I told her I was the uni-bomber or Hannibal or something. Our relationship was the never the same. Granted any relationship a dude gets into with a lesbian is not normal but i should have left the dream to myself.
Needless to say I think it should be named the Gargoyle.
Gateway Stealth sounds really good
How about the name “Blueprint”?
Keep with the Native American theme: The Brave
STALLION OR HARPOON
Shaman or Totem ?
All of these are native american words
1.Totem
2.Blizzard
3.Vizion Qwest-looking into the future!
SWIFT……METEORIC…….MACH 7……….TRANSAMERICA…….SONIC BOOM……REDEYE…..MR. GORDON’S FUNHOUSE……BOTTLE ROCKET……JETLAGG……CONCORD……RELEASE THE CRACKEN……*THE HOLE TICKLER*……FLYING SNAKE…..THE LUBRICATOR…..BALLISTIC….INCENDIARY…..NEMISIS…..F5……BUTTERFLY EFFECT……ANARCHY….CHAOS…..MONTEZUMA’S REVENGE…..LAWN DART…..RANGE FINDER……GOLIATH……I’ll stop now
Comet, Diamond, Eureka, long wave, 50MM, secret agent, ‘disc with no name’, eagle, birdie, Steve. lol
A lot of good names have been thrown out there. I have a few more to add. For the military/ Native American themes: Chinook, Hummer (trademark issues?), Hemmitt (a large, strong, heavy-duty, virtually unstoppable 8-wheeled vehicle), Cherokee, Choctaw, Mohawk, Inuit, Sioux, Cheyenne… For the ghost/ devil theme: (I like Hellion, but much like Lucifer, it may be too aggressive for the church going types), Beelzebub, Fiend, Phantasm, Poltergeist, Specter, Behemoth, Colossus, Monstrosity, Tormentor (as in your opponent’s), Executioner…. For the aerodynamic nerd theme: Slip Stream or David’s Bernoulli. The names I have problems with: Zombie-slow, stupid, and easy to kill; Lunatic-although it sounds pretty cool, the first time you throw it badly you will most likely be called one.
How about Boom so when people ask what you threw and you can say The Boom!!
I also think Machete has a sweet ring to it!!!!
“Captain” or “President”
(you guys should check the approved discs list first: secret weapon is already made by ABC discs)
It should definatley be called the C-4
Is “Supernova” an option? Sorcerer would be good for a putter.
How about the Hell Raiser, El Niño, little boy, fat man, or the enforcer.
mugwump = War Chief
totem
cougar
skookum = “powerful, supernaturally dangerous”
Navajo
The Long Walk
Mescalero
Cree
Gateway – Skyglider
The Hellion.
Made this suggestion to you personally a few months ago(thx for the Essex Open Sponsorship!).
Pharaoh
Egyptian theme hasn’t been ‘taken’ yet.
Lots of these names have already been used btw way, Stealth(93′ Lightning), Marauder(92′ Discraft) & Shadow(Discraft 91′) to name a few.
Thx David, Justin and the rest of the GDS crew!!!
The “Proto”, its a cool ass name. Yeah their might be some confusion but i personally think its awesome.
Shockwave
Mirage
“Vanquish”
Grim Reaper
Danny Treho
Scorpion
THE ARSENAL
Gateway Penetrator
GRACE, EQUALIZER, Eagle, Stealth, WORMHOLE, ST. RAPHAEL, LION, HURRICANE, BLIMP, ANDROID, MAVERICKS (Not that I’m biased, lol),
EQUALIZER, QUANTUM, ADAM, GREASE, GOOSE, GENGIS KHAN, ALEXANDER THE GREAT, PATHAGEROUS, PATHAGORAS, EURIPIDES, GRACE
The Sniper
I had the pleasure of receiving 3 prototypes for a tourny entry. An Illusion, an Element, and a Wizard. I have to say I still thrown the Element proto after 5 years and would throw the Wizard still if I had it. The Illusion was to over-stable and fast for my throw, but I use it for very hard turns in fairways at lower speed.
Anyway, just wanted to let ya’ll know that.
New driver names. Tsunami, Oni, (as in Japanese folklore), The Chief, Blaze, Slice, Mach, Razor.
I did like the post about My Secret Weapon.
How about stasis….
The MYSTIC, PHANTOM, MIRAGE
Gateway – BMF (Bad Mutha)
Gateway – ALL BUSINESS
The Tree Seeker.
Hey dumb idea,,,, thanks for the submission
How about… The Fit everyone need’s to throw a fit once is awhile
we had about 100 of them a few years back but NIkko threw them all 🙂
it should be called the serial killer! end of story
The Scrummy
combination of “scrumptious” and “yummy”, used to convey that deep, satisfied pleasure that comes after you finish something
how about just having a blank line ________ and including a dry erase marker with the disc for the first couple hundred you sell. Not sure if you have to legally name the disc but I think it would be cool to change the name of your disc whenever u wanted.
I second either Aurora or Stealth
How about the “Jet Stream”
Given the description of the disc, the name should be penetrator!
Naming a disc has to be tough, I’ve been in a few bands and having to agree on a name is always the hard part. I got a few ideas that are kinda follow the theme you got going on, some don’t but they felt like good disc names to me. They are:
The Executioner
Guerilla
The Mirage
Subterfuge
The Pirate (think of the stamp!)
Combustion
Solar Flare
The Spark (may be taken)
The Aztek (may also be taken)
The Clydesdale (don’t know if you’re opposed to animal named discs, but you are in Budweiser country)
I’m drawing a blank now. I suppose I’ll go back to shopping for my 10 discs. I’m pretty stuck on the putters, I’ve had Wizards and Warlocks that I loved and lost but the Voodoo and Magic sound like awesome discs too. Decisions, decisions…
tachyon – a hypothetical faster than light particle.
Wicked1
pterodactyl
El Tejon

TERMINATOR
