Making a New Midrange [episode 1]

[@kevinbrun3907]

A great name for this would be “Crest” the more overstable counterpart of the “Dune” referring to the crest of a wave

[@Aigler6]

Love this!

[@The_OvP]

I like Wave

[@kevinbrun3907]

@@The_OvP unfortunately that’s already taken by MVP

[@voxmigmusic]

What came to mind for me was maybe Mesa - when you talked about the flat top, and thinking about how I use the Dune; I used to sandboard down our Sand Dunes here in Utah, and when I throw the Dune I always remember that, and how sandboarding felt under my feet really reminds me of the Dune’s flight. The direction you commit is the direction you go, but it’s a little slippery. Watching this video made me think how I used to also mountainboard down the side of this Mesa in Southern Utah, and those things are so solid, they’re flat, and they’re amazing. Neither sand dunes or mesas are too daunting or huge like mountains - they’re both pretty approachable and exciting for adventures haha.

[@SethDStanley]

I like the name Ridge. A little more solid and stable than a shifting dune. If you go over the ridge, you're more overstable, but on the ridge is reliability and beautiful views! Stoked to follow this video series and creation process!

[@cjrogus]

The ridge is already an approved disc. Not sure if they could reuse the name.

[@minecraftrealms7207]

​@@cjrogus I was literally coming here to say the same thing! Vibram made it (had one in the bag forever)

[@caseysmith544]

​@@cjrogus You can as a brand has used the same name becuse a very old no longer in service brand has the same name as used by a newer brands disc. Now with the Ridge and fact Vibram is now making discs again though they are pricey at $45--$45 per disc this might not work as brands are asked to not have the same name.

[@FreshMattyJ]

MANTLE seems like a dope name!

[@awildschuetz1]

Horizon. It's between Inner Core and Ozone, very stable and consistent fade (curve), and it is what's next in the process of developing new discs. It isn't what's on the horizon, it is the Horizon.

[@matthewlopez7540]

This is a good name. I think it would be even better for a distance/control driver.

[@godfreytube]

Name it "PDGA Approved"

[@FrigginCatsBruh]

Hell yeah! 😅

[@GoodStarfish]

I'd call it the the Lithos (short for lithosphere)

[@gryn20117]

This seems similar to the warrior from gateway!

[@wreagin1]

Fumerole! Heat from the earth

[@stormlight6967]

I love the name "mesa" for a midrange. Though someone else commented "erosion" which could be a nice reference to the fade it has.

[@McKong_]

... Mantle was my first thought and doesn't look like im the only one

[@andersfaret11]

Same! Mantle!

[@AndrewWilde]

Haha i'm glad a read this before clicking comment. Yes Mantle. And there isnt a PDGA disc with the same name.

[@peterthallen8270]

A Dune typically takes the form of a Ridge ...Dune with a bead = Ridge :)

[@ibanez4c]

The Tectonic Plate! Flat and fierce It flies as if its aiming to dig under the crust itself. The T in Tectonic can be made of 2 convergent plates to create the logo. I accept payment in discs 😉

[@Scott-discs]

You had me at "Hi my names Jesse from Trash Panda" Put me on the waitlist of testers and pre-orders 😅

[@becausemic6899]

“Asteroid” Also love that you were at Oak Grove for the throw at sea level

[@joeyhazlett]

Which is like 1000ft above sea level. :)

[@goblintoken]

Mantle if it ends up in the approach category. Crag if it’s a mid. Hurry up and take my money!!!

[@gbombz]

Vibram actually has a Crag in their lineup, and funny enough it has the same type of flight as this

[@goblintoken]

@@gbombz well that sucks lol

[@deantoms2432]

Tectonic as in the tectonic plates, it's above the core but under the dunes.

[@micdavey]

I mean "Magma" obviously! 👏👏

[@BrianWalstad]

I just wrote the same thing.

[@sandonhoneyman]

It's already the name of a Obsidian disc. It's a 5 5 0 2 and actually a really nice slightly OS mid.

[@joschloe]

Name it the Gravity!

[@Iliyena87]

+1 on this one, If there is no plan to make a "dumb OS" disc this is the way, thx for adding a big anny flexshoot and forehand in the video Jesse, if it didn't fight back this name would not be perfect but now it is.

[@SwankyDiscGolf]

So hype for this! Shout out to Kyle and Tom for the awesome reactions lol

[@mikethomas5451]

I really love your love for disc golf, and manufacturing them, and sharing your processes and development of your company.

[@Tim.Kromer]

HOLY MOLY! Don’t care how long this takes. So stoked for whenever this comes out! You’re doing amazing things Jesse! Full trash panda mid takeover of my bag will happen!

[@Latitude30Four]

Came to say the formal and technical definition of mantle makes it a perfect name. So proud of myself. Then I read the comments and learned I'm not as special as my mom told me. But still a dope name! Mantle is both the layer above the inner core and in another sense means the passing on of responsibility to others. Very cool.

[@gavinjepsen9325]

I think Arctic would be a great name, kind of an opposite to dune and I think you could make the R fit well into a design

[@bahaako1]

I think I’d call it the Reef. Somehow feels right as the overstable compliment to the Dune, also slightly closer to the Earth’s core to reflect the slighty lower speed of an approach/mid.

[@caseysmith544]

DGA has a disc like this and who owns current DGA might sue.

[@bahaako1]

@@caseysmith544 Shucks, maybe the Shoal then

[@kurtisrome2175]

The ‘Cornice’ like the overhanging of snow and ice that forms on ridges of a mountain top during winter.

[@andrewgalamb2395]

If its between a midrange and approach slot, I think the Cavern would be an awesome name

[@JonLeach-y5q]

eek! CANT WAIT. Been throwing the whole lineup for about three weeks now and im in love with the Dune.

[@MatthewDoughten]

Couple name ideas, Mesa, Delta, Atoll, Butte, Crevasse, or Hogback

[@brentkelly9864]

Mesa is a great name for a flat-top disc.

[@GoodStarfish]

found the mtg guy goin' through their lands

[@kolbe6250]

Call it the "Branch" both to commemorate the idea of how trees come out of the earth and also that it has that nice overstable bend resembling a Branch.

[@rubberorr]

The Mesa. Like a plateau, it’s gonna be board flat. Saw a pic of a mesa on Wikipedia and immediately thought of how you describe it. Dune and Mesa combo would be killer!

[@MarkRyanAB]

As someone who both enjoys making things, and disc golf, this is amazing! Thanks so much for this content. I'm looking forward to buying it.

[@yugiohreview8072]

I think that the Peak would be a good name for the disc, happy to see the cnc being used though, Good Luck.

[@jpod16]

Awesome, looks like it flies similar to a Pyro which I'm a huge fan of. Will definitely be trying this one out when it's done.

[@OwensGoinAwesome2.0]

i love you guys! I think you guys are doing awesome!!!!!

[@BookieCrook]

A Trashy beaded midrange? Yes please!

[@stephenfrancais]

game changing stuff for the industry

[@prattacaster]

Oooo, been looking for a disc for in between my MD5 and Reactor!

[@bioluminescence2391]

Love the fission reactor so much , so trust worthy

[@techocarkrazy5046]

The atmosphere

[@connorbrandt616]

All in on the Trash Panda “Magma”

[@richardlee196]

Can’t wait. And given the disc that it is based on, you should call this one the Outer Core

[@softees5617]

The Snow, Ridge, Cloud, Cliff, Cast, Stone, Azure. The one I like the most is the Snow. I’ve wanted a disc with Trash Panda branding to have a snow/winter theme for a while. (I recommend this for the fairway at the dune launch day video.)

[@OwensGoinAwesome2.0]

stream is what I think would be a good disc name!

[@zaclightbody1906]

Call it the boulder. Solid and stable

[@Barodrum]

The "Glacier" 🤩

[@rippinbtw3506]

The Cavern, mix of midrange with approach putter. Something that can go below the ground while still scratching the surface

[@hntr8969]

The mantle 🔥🔥

[@jhoja628]

Calling it "avalanche" would be soo cool! It just makes sense in my head. Like how it wants to get to the ground

[@sabertooth_fl]

DGA's firebird is called the Avalanche

[@jhoja628]

@@sabertooth_fl ah okay that is a bummer

[@serenityinsilence]

My idea of a beefy mid has a little “dump” to it. Another word for a dump is landfill. It would be perfect to name a disc that dumps out of the air Landfill. The same place all this plastic isn’t going to end up!

[@pooadoa3711]

I like the rock-centric naming conventions. Something that is unmovable by wind, dependable, 'rock-solid'. So, I throw the name PIEDMONT into the mix. The gentle slope at the foothills of a mountain.

[@Crouchdown]

The horizon, plateau or the heartland. Hoping it's as stable as a justice tbh

[@MasonMenzies]

The Trash Panda Tectonic!

[@BadThrowsGoodBros]

from just the way it flys i think Shore Break would fit!

[@mr.goodrichsclass3075]

Count me in. I'll buy no matter the name.

[@dantecappellano1924]

Either the Mesa or the Butte Flat topped and goes off the small land feature theme of the dune

[@reallunacy]

I kind of like the Gorge since dunes are often around sea level and you said this may lean towards approach. Upper Crust may work as well and that would allow for some killer artwork of a bougie trash panda.

[@AndreaFarina11]

For some reason when you asked for names, I thought "Cirrus" anyway, keep up the good work, love your videos guys

[@bobbydavis1725]

put and approach! we need the TP putt and approach disc.

[@wodenswheelgun3278]

For an overstable approach disc I'd call it the Lander or Rover. Referring to something like the lunar lander or mars rover.

[@markd1199]

That ET1 tease though!

[@jeffnarum1373]

The Gravity 🔵

[@brushedred777]

Tried to see if anyone suggested this already, but i didn’t see anything. I’d call it a Fissure!

[@whiskeypixels]

The Stone if it skips well

[@Ishiisan]

Following Ozone, Dune, InnerCore. Name it Biota! “the animal and plant life of a particular region, or habitat.”

[@asloppywerewolf7965]

You could call it the "Earth's Crust"! Because it's between the inner core the dune!

[@XenoFireStar]

Lithosphere is the crust and upper mantle. Makes sense if it is a approach/midrange 4-speed type thing.

[@agentsmith64691]

Call it Reef!

[@DiscGolfClub]

OMG I want one!!

[@Adriantaylordiscgolf]

WOOO!!!

[@lawrencetchen]

Have to agree with the folks saying *Mesa* (because plateau doesn't have as great a connotation in our sport) given that the goal is for a board flat top!

[@gxr0ck]

Looks like what everyone wants their Buzzz OS to fly like lol. Nice and reliable but not unusably overstable. Also I like Mantle for the name

[@caseysmith544]

Yes, this is closer in flight (not feel) to a Wasp when you see one thrown slightly slower then max power.

[@eli14eli14]

Mantle is the first thing that came to mind

[@Crustacean00]

I like Crust. Top layer of the earth 🫡👌

[@Swaggicus]

Geode or slate would be cool names

[@rogermadplume9261]

We need a trash panda stable approach disc, call it the Mantle

[@ChrisBenti]

Hey Jesse, I think you should call the disc the Title Wave or the Tide.

[@brentkelly9864]

The Granite.

[@Element108Hs]

So if putt/approach discs are internal earth structures and mids are surface features, this'll be somewhere in between, which gives me two ideas: the Fault and the Tectonic. Too bad DGA already took Rift, Quake, and Aftershock!

[@MasterBigBass]

Mantle would be great name :)

[@WelshDesigns]

It would be interesting to make a CNC version of your existing discs and see if they match? Then you may have an idea how this new one might come out.

[@nicolaseastland1447]

I would say canyon. Protoflyte removes plastic from the mold via the cnc machine. Canyons are (typically) formed through erosion.

[@tyeerilatosdiscgolf]

Love the name: Tectonic

[@user-ri2ee4qg7k]

Yep, cool. Probably not one for myself, as I'm not a big user of overstable discs (which could be 'cause I'm still a solidly "intermediate" player, with not a very powerful throw). But I love what y'all are doing at TP, and I like you sharing the process with us. For the record, when it comes to the current stable.......the Inner Core? - like it but don't love it, and it is not my go-to putter; the Dune? - absolutely LOVE this disc, and in fact it's not only my fave TP disc, it's actually my favourite disc overall (if I only had "one disc", which I sometimes do, it would no question be a Dune); the Ozone? - really like this disc a lot, and a great companion to my Dune; the Extraterrestial? - ehhhh, cute and fun I suppose, but not something that makes it into my bag (way too much fade for my style/throwing). And yes, what I'm really itching for is that (future?) distance driver that I end up loving as much as my Dune and Ozone.

[@caseysmith544]

I am not a very powerful thrower, yet I use a Shark in star and I have used an old rare style low profile Wizard for an approach disc back in the 2000's and I have a few Champion Destroyers for days I probably should not be playing mainly wind and second use spike shot over the trees.

[@user-ri2ee4qg7k]

@@caseysmith544 The other thing I'm really interested in (from TP) would be the flat to domey variations of a single mold, as per the experimenting they were doing a couple weeks ago. I think having different stability Ozones, or Dunes, would be pretty cool. There seem to be a lot of talk about this being a possibility.

[@somedude693]

Oh man! how coincidental i'm in the market for a overstable mid😂

[@cedarriverwoodworking]

Mantle, because its stable enough that it wants to fight down through the crust.

[@n01looking]

Mantle is a winner. Trench (think Mariana Trench) for your deep ocean layer?

[@Scott-discs]

Mantle for a name idea - approach sounds likew it's speed/glide is less than a dune (crust) but more than a core. But i could also dig a name like bedrock - since it's sort of in the mid range, but more beefy. it's in the crust but more solid.

[@caseysmith544]

I say Pyra-mid as those are a more reliable thing in the Egyptian Desert of the Sahra where some impressive sand dunes are found in a different part of the same desert near Moraco and mid, short for midrange is in the name of the disc. If not go Outer core or Inner Mantel/Mantel depending on if the disc is more putter like with Outer Core or is more midrange like with Inner Mantel/Mantel.

[@Not.a.bot.24]

Tectonic. It relates to the Earth's tectonic plates, which are solid and stable but powerful

[@vidathan]

How about Crust? Outer edge, hard, has a sharp sound, still related to earth theme.

[@fulcan3rd]

So do you grab the shavings from the CNC discs and recycle them into trash panda discs?

[@Allanfan20]

Before watching the rest….. something with some stability hopefully?? 😁😁

[@Completelycorydiscgolf]

Hi Jesse, I like the name Ridge

[@ericcasper1334]

Eclipse even though there is a diac named that already,TP Eclipse then....I also like the name Peak as in mountain peak😁

[@chrisharness2229]

Made with cow tags. I would call it the Bull's Eye

[@RyuhVAL]

if its more towards aproach, then magma could be cool, if its more mid then maybe everest?

[@sandonhoneyman]

Magma is already taken by Obsidian Discs.

[@itsThan_]

Mantle, Ridge, Fissure, Crest, Pinnacle… just some ideas

[@jonahschwenk3135]

I think a cool name would be "stone"

[@kimbohlin4383]

Compactor (like a trash compactor... Which would make a dense thing that wants to dump (pardon the pun)) :P

[@Mike_Special]

Jessie, I am interested in prototyping discs and currently 3d print my own. If you don’t mind me asking, what sort of price range does each CNC machined disc cost?

[@cosmichobo4614]

Flat top, stable mid range. What about "Mesa" for a name? I feel it's a fitting name and works within the naming convention

[@jeremynewman5315]

The Geode

[@TGIFlatball]

If it’s a mid, maybe this needs to be the Mantle!
