Streamline Disc Golf Proton Lift Distance Driver 9/5/-2/1.5 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-STR-PT-LFT (REF1104-39)
Description
The Streamline Proton Lift distance driver is Streamline's understable 9-speed distance driver, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for players who want a straight-flying, comfortable driver, and it's at its best on straight distance drives. If you're shopping for a dependable Lift 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 Lift is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Eclipse and Neutron.
The Mold
The Lift is a 21.2 cm solo-mold distance driver with a 19 mm rim. It is designed as a straight-flying driver with a comfortable rim size and slightly domed profile. It's the second disc, alongside the Streamline Flare, in Streamline's 19mm, 9-speed driver class.
Stability
The Lift 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 | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 1.5 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |

Discs That Pair Well With the Lift

FAQ
Is the Streamline Lift good for beginners?
Yes. Its understable, straight-flying design makes the Lift an easy driver to control.
Is the Streamline Lift overstable?
No. The Lift is understable, rated 9/5/-2/1.5. Its 2 turn makes it a better fit for turnovers and hyzer-flips than hard fades.
What's the difference between Proton and Neutron plastic?
Proton is translucent with slightly more grip, while Neutron is opaque. Both are highly durable and hold their flight for a long time.
Is the Eclipse Lift different?
MVP says the Eclipse Lift has a slightly gummy feel and reliably straight flights, plus an astounding glow.
What disc is similar to the Streamline Lift?
The Streamline Jet (11/5/-3/2) is a faster understable 11-speed for more distance.
How far does the Streamline Lift fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 345 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
