Streamline Disc Golf Neutron Drift Fairway Driver 7/5/-2/1 - Choose Exact Disc
Description
The Streamline Neutron Drift fairway driver is Streamline's stable-understable, high-glide fairway driver, molded in Neutron plastic. It's built for players who want easy distance from a highly versatile driver, and it's at its best on laser-straight lines, hyzer-flips, and big turnovers. If you're shopping for a dependable Drift 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 Drift 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 Drift is also available in Cosmic Neutron and Proton.
The Mold
The Drift is a 21.2 cm solo-mold fairway driver with a 17 mm rim. It is designed for laser-straight lines that end with a gentle fade and an exceptional amount of glide, giving you easy distance. It has a modest rim size, a slightly domed profile, and an easily activated turn for hyzer-flips or big turnover shots. It was the first fairway driver in the Streamline fleet.
Stability
The Drift is stable-to-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 | 7 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |

FAQ
Is the Streamline Drift good for beginners?
Yes. Its glide, easy turn, and gentle fade give newer players easy, straight distance.
Is the Streamline Drift overstable?
No. The Drift is stable-to-understable, rated 7/5/-2/1. Its 2 turn makes it a better fit for turnovers and hyzer-flips than hard fades.
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 Drift?
The Streamline Ascend (6/5/-3/0.5) is a slightly slower, more understable fairway driver.
How far does the Streamline Drift fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 310 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
