The Flare is an overstable Streamline distance driver rated 9/4/0/3.5: little turn, modest glide and a strong finishing fade. It suits forehand throwers, hyzer lines, low ceilings and windy holes. Players who want a straight finish or a driver that turns over should look elsewhere. Streamline designed it for flights with minimal turn and a powerfully overstable finish. Players on Disc Golf Course Review describe it as very overstable and good off the forehand, with Cosmic Neutron plastic singled out for praise; one found it too overstable for everyday use. When the PDGA approved the Flare on 24 February 2019 (19-21), MVP called it Streamline's first overstable driver. On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Axiom Fireball and the Remix Disc Golf Haymaker.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
