Streamline Disc Golf Proton Trace Distance Driver 11/5/-1/2 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-STR-PT-TRC (REF451-7)
Description
The Streamline Proton Trace distance driver is Streamline's straight-stable power driver, molded in Proton plastic. It's built for players who want straight, controllable distance, and it's at its best on straight power drives with a dependable finish. If you're shopping for a dependable Trace 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 Trace is also available in Cosmic Neutron, Neutron and Plasma.
The Mold
The Trace is a 21.2 cm solo-mold distance driver with a 21 mm rim. It has a manageable 21mm rim and a straight-stable flight that places it squarely in the 11-speed power-straight market. Its moderate dome is smooth and even, with a shoulder and depth that yield excellent glide. Most players can stand it up on a hyzer-flip, and it soaks up plenty of power before being pushed off its straight line. Its ending fade is smooth but dependable for easy ranging.
Stability
The Trace is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the 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 suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 11 | 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 | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 2 | A moderate, dependable fade at the end of the flight. |
