Streamline Disc Golf Proton Drift Fairway Driver 7/5/-2/1 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-STR-PT-DRF (REF101-47)
Description
The Streamline Proton Drift fairway driver is Streamline's stable-understable, high-glide fairway driver, molded in Proton 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 Proton run is a great place to start.
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 Drift is also available in Cosmic Neutron and Neutron.
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. |
