Streamline Disc Golf MVP Open 2024 Proton Shift St. Jude Edition Driver - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-STR-MVPOPN24-SHFT (REF1974-5)
Description
The Streamline Proton Shift distance driver is Streamline's understable 9-speed St. Jude fundraiser driver, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for players of all power levels, and it's at its best on easy, straight flights and turnover shot shapes. This listing is the MVP Open 2024 St. Jude Edition release of the Shift, so you get the same trusted flight with a collectible look.
Proton Plastic
Proton is the original premium blend: a translucent core material with stunning optical clarity and vibrant candy colors. It's built for high durability and a long, consistent life, even in the roughest conditions. Proton has similar durability to Neutron with slightly more grip, and the candy-colored plastic gives each model a different aura that's especially great for LED-lit night play. The Shift is also available in Cosmic Neutron and Plasma.
The Mold
The Shift is a 21.3 cm solo-mold distance driver with a 19 mm rim. It is released exclusively through MVP's annual collaboration with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, with stamps inspired by art from patients St. Jude has helped. MVP chose it as a disc everyone can throw: it gives easy, straight flights for all power levels while opening up more shot shapes with more power behind it.
Stability
The Shift is understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -3 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
