    Flight numbers are WAYY off, this thing is BEEF (maybe Consmic Neutron made it so). Comparable to a tilt, choppy annys and diving fades galore. Though, it does go pretty far, about as far as my normal fairways.

    Incredibly overstable. Would only use for huge skip shots around trees and obstacles or severe headwind. As a beginner it was my first disc and I didn't understand why it dumped out left. Fast forward two years I thought it would fly different at 450' power and I probably got about 360-380' out of it. Hyzered hard left across multiple hole Fairways, skipping from hole 17 to hole 18 to hole 9. It's a beast of a disc, like a halo firebird on steroids. Didn't matter that I had Arm speed, it just took that speed and skipped that much farther left instead of flying straighter. Need incredible anny and brute force to get this anywhere near a full flight.

    Very flat and very overstable. What's not to like.

    This disc is so crazy overstable.  It's not exactly a Tilt but holy moly does she just go left (rhbh).  Anhyzer flex lines are a breeze with this disc.  It's not a disc I throw often but when I do I'm always amazed at the beef level.  Feels good in the hand, maybe feels better forehand than back but neither feel bad.  Also I'm surprised at the glide it has for such an overatable disc.  It will actually stay in the air for a bit on its own and I look forward to beating it in a bit and seeing how this thing continues to evolve.  Comparisons: this disc is the most overstable thing I've thrown.  In terms of overstability Flare>Fireball>Sexybird>Firebird>Stal.  I will always bag a firebird and have now added the Flare fore when the firebird isn't beefy enough.

    The Streamline Flare in Cosmic Neutron plastic is a beautifully overstable fairway driver, if you need a disc that fades as hard as possible look no further than the Flare. The Flare has a nice comfortable rim and a very flat top. Cosmic Neutron plastic is firm with a great grip. I primarily use the Flare for skip shots and thumbers as it's way too overstable for me to use it for anything else. If you've thrown a Firebird, Raptor, Felon, or Predator and thought, Wheres the beef? You need to try the Flare.

    Picked up two flares after I lost my replacement (second) firebird to a nicely placed pond. I didn't realize the potential of this disc, but it replaced my firebird perfectly. It follows that wonderful overstable flight pattern that we all look for in a firebird. I actually think this disc is better due to a little more glide. It doesn't flip as easily and can be used for longer anhyzer flip forehand shots.

    I have a cosmic neutron 174 g. and a proton misprint 173 g. discs. I absolutely love the neutron one and it's a little less overstable compared to the proton version. The cosmic neutron finds its way into my hand for long forehand Annie flips. The proton plastic version gets used for longer utility shots around hills or trees. 

    This disc also works so great for any sort of windy shots. It fights the wind wonderfully and can be relied on to follow that overstable flight pattern. 
     

    Overall, this is a bit more of an intermediate to advanced player disc. It falls into a utility role for most of its usage. I doubt beginners will find tons of use for it unless they want to try something pretty dang stable.

    Well, if you want to have overstable look no further. I love overstable discs but the cosmic neutron I almost think it may be too overstable. I can throw this low on a hard anhyzer and it still can flex out and fade before hitting the ground. I have only had a few weeks and the disc is completely flat but I'm hoping to get some wear in the disc to help play closer to my lost motion.

    One thing that this disc is amazing at though, thumbers!! I just learned how to through thumbers a few months ago and this thing rocks!!! First thumber with it I almost aces a 230ft hole (hit the cage). The extreme overstability makes it roll extremely slow and moves quite a bit but it needs little effort to move.

    For an intermediate player, this does not play like a distance driver. Its an awesome utility disc that I use backhand and forehand for shorter (150-225 ft) shots that require an overstable flight. That being said, this disc is awesome for those throws. Very predictibly overstable flight path and great skip-action once it hits the ground. This has become a go-to disc for me and I dont want to play a round without it!

    I love this disc. For me I almost exclusively use it as a forehand disc and a utility one at that! This disc is incredibly overstable, like the most overstable disc I've ever thrown. When thrown hard flat either forehand or backhand this disc fights its way to the ground immediately and as its name says will take a large flaring skip. If you need to shape a line through the woods with a ton of anhyzer and just have to have the disc fight back to hyzer this is the disc for you. If you need to skip 90 degrees around some trees this is for you. Not great for big distance but for what its good for, its great for!

    The Streamline Flare, an overstable driver, could be the most overstable disc I've ever thrown. Comparing it to an Innova Firebird, the Streamline Flare is more flat and has a sharper edge. The Streamline Flare is more overstable than the Firebird. It is a perfect disc for utility shots and one of the best discs for headwind shots. When it begins to beat in, the Flare will demonstrate a little more glide, delaying the fade, but the fade is just as strong. 

    I've rated this disc as "Not Beginner Friendly," this is not the type of disc you throw on every hole, rather, fits a slot in the bag for utility. If you're in the market for an overstable driver for headwinds, the Flare is probably the disc for you.

    This discs is the ideal overstable control driver for any player who can throw hard enough to make it work. I threw it on a ton of FH flex lines, hyzers and rollers over the past few day and it can just preform great in all of those capacities. Shot several birdies with it over the past two rounds and it almost felt like cheating on a couple of holes. 

    The plastic is a little glassy feeling and a bit slick but the wing is about the most comfortable discs since the 2012 FAF Firebirds came out. 

    If you can throw over 350 you need to try one.

    This is a nice addition to the Streamline lineup, which is still young and filling the bag a piece at the time. This disc will fill the spot of OVERSTABLE MEATHOOK. It has such a hard fade when I throw it backhand that it finished most of its flight on a hyzer angle rather than flat. If I had a powerful backhand, I'd probably love this as an overstable disc to fight out of an anny line, but I primarily throw backhand. With that said, I still like it as a utility disc that can make a hard fade around obstacles or drop out of the sky on a high hyzer throw. It's a great disc for intermediate to advanced players, but I wouldn't recommend it for beginners because of how much it exaggerates the fade.

    Streamline/MVP have made truly great overstable fairway utility disc.
    I've bagged a Fireball in this spot for a couple years now, with the Deflector, Raptor & Felon recently competing with dominance.
    Then came the Flare, holy crap! The feel of the Cosmic neutron plastic and the overall feel in the hand is amazing.
    The Flare is a touch more overstable than the Raptor and Felon, very close to the Deflector, but even more overstable than the Deflector. This disc shines when you need low lateral ground action, truly living up to it's name, HUGE flaring skips!!
    Immediately fights out of an anhyzer release, and excels with touch forehand upshots.
    The Flare also works better with my overhand shots than the Raptor and Fireball.
    I would highly recommend this to any advanced or higher level player to fill a true utility spot in their bag.

    Holy moly Batman! This is one heck of a beefcake! When I was testing this disc, 174g Cosmic neutron, I brought a Fireball (154g Proton), a 2018 sexton firebird and a stiff MF firebird (do not know the weight but it has significant ware on it) and the flare was more overstable than any of them. It wasn't even close! The two that I tried out were table top flat and straight up beef! I am hoping I can beat these discs in to serve as utility forehand discs because there is no way to get any good distance out of them. On a steep anhyzer release they fight out of it almost immediately and finishes hard left (RHBH). On lower lines you can expect a lot of ground action, which I really like. A really nice disc for skip shots and hard turning forehands and backhands.

    This disc is exactly what I wanted to see, super OS, flat top, and really comfortable in your hand. If you have been looking to replace your SE FAF firebird that you are afraid of loosing due to the cost of replacing it give the flare a try!

    This disc is very extremely without a doubt crazily overstable. WHICH IS A VERY GOOD THING!!!! MVP keeps putting out some amazing gems in the streamline brand. The plastic quality is top notch and the price for quality is basically unbeatable. This disc flies a lot like a Motion and fireball but for those not familiar with the MVP/Axiom brands it is a lot like a Fire Chicken (Firebird).

    I throw a lot of thumbers so a disc like the Flare is a must have in the bag. When it comes to back hand throws this disc is truly just for utility. forehands this disc isn't going to turn over (i have tried). I don't have a huge forehand but i can pump my fission photons on a hyzer flip around 330ft on a forehand. However, with the fare im not getting near that distance without putting some major flex on it. I can say the same thing about throwing back hand. This disc can take an insane amount of flex and you can fully trust it to come out.

    I haven't fully decided if this disc or the Fireball will stay in the bag but the fact that I have to debate it is a great compliment to the Flare. There are a lot of super-overstable discs out there and most of them are good. This one is no exception and i recommend this disc very much. The price and quality combination makes Streamline very dangerous to other brands. Give this disc a try if your wanting to try something very stable, it is well worth every penny.

    This disc is extremely overstable. I bag a fireball as my main overstable driver for forehand shots. The Flare I purchased is much more overstable than my fireball. The flare I purchased is max weight and my fireballs are all low 170's so this may explain the difference. In my field work the disc seemed to have less glide and more fade and that is why I changed the ratings to 9 3 0 4. My Flare is a gorgeous looking disc in the Cosmic Neutron plastic.

    Very Controllable overstable fairway driver. Flies similar to a slightly beat in Star Firebird or 2017 Sexton Firebird but with a little more glide. Slight dome and is very tacky in the Cosmic Neutron plastic.

    Out of the box it's not as much of a meat hook as the MVP Motion or the Axiom Fireball so it's a little easier to use, especially for forehand. Plus the Cosmic Neutron looks phenomenal and has a really good firmness to it.

    I am honestly unsure of how to rate this disc. I keep an Anvil, Drone, Boatman, Thunderbird Firebird in my bag and the Flare is by far much more overstable. I want to keep throwing it to figure out how to use it but right now it is way to overstable to have a spot in my bag. 

     

    I'll update my review after more time with the disc.
