Streamline Discs Neutron Boost Distance Driver 9.5/4/0/2.5 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Streamline Neutron Boost distance driver is Streamline's overstable fairway/distance hybrid driver, molded in Neutron plastic. It's built for players who want distance with more control than a full distance driver, and it's at its best on controlled drives that cover real ground. If you're shopping for a dependable Boost for your bag, this Neutron run is a great place to start.
Neutron Plastic
Neutron is the flagship plastic of the MVP family and the most popular blend Streamline uses. It's opaque and grippy with a premium look and feel, and it comes in the widest selection of bright colors, which makes your Boost easy to find in any terrain. Neutron shares the great durability of Proton, so it holds its flight for a long time. Because Streamline discs are solo-mold, the whole disc is one uniform piece of Neutron, finished with Streamline's clean edges and triple-foil stamps.
The Mold
The Boost is a 21.2 cm solo-mold distance driver with a 19.5 mm rim. Don't let the slightly slower speed fool you: the Boost is no slouch when it comes to covering ground, while giving a bit more control than a full distance driver would. It can cycle through various stages of wear, so it has the potential to become your new consistent workhorse driver. Eagle McMahon chooses it as one of his go-to discs.
Stability
The Boost 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 | 9.5 | 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 | 2.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Streamline Boost good for beginners?
It's better as a second driver. Its overstable finish is useful, but newer players will see more fade than distance at first.
Is the Streamline Boost overstable?
Yes. The Boost is overstable, rated 9.5/4/0/2.5, so it resists turning over and finishes with a dependable fade.
What's the difference between Neutron and Proton plastic?
Neutron is opaque and grippy with the widest color selection, while Proton is translucent with similar durability and slightly more grip. Both hold their flight for a long time.
What disc is similar to the Streamline Boost?
The Streamline Flare (9/4/0/3.5) is a more overstable 9-speed with a stronger finish.
How far does the Streamline Boost fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 350 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
