Streamline Disc Golf Cosmic Neutron Flare Distance Driver 9/4/0/3.5 Choose Exact
SKU: DG-STR-CN-FLR (REF102-21)
Description
The Streamline Cosmic Neutron Flare distance driver is Streamline's first overstable distance driver, molded in Cosmic Neutron plastic. It's built for players who need a driver for wind, power throws, and utility shots, and it's at its best on headwinds, high-power throws, and utility shots. If you're shopping for a dependable Flare for your bag, this Cosmic Neutron run is a great place to start.
Cosmic Neutron Plastic
Cosmic Neutron is the premium Neutron blend enhanced with a plethora of bright color swirls, so no two discs look quite the same. Under the swirls it's the same plastic, sharing the durability of Neutron and Proton, so your Flare holds its flight for a long time. The Flare is also available in Neutron.
The Mold
The Flare is a 21.2 cm solo-mold distance driver with a 19 mm rim. It is designed for flights with minimal turn, ending in a powerfully overstable finish, with reserved glide to keep it from going long on approaches. It debuted Streamline's 19mm driver class as its first 9-speed. It can handle the highest-power throws, the strongest winds, and a wide range of utility shots.
Stability
The Flare is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best suited to intermediate and advanced players, and it's a valuable utility disc for anyone who plays in wind.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3.5 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
