The Streamline Discs Trace is a 11-speed stable distance driver. With published flight numbers of 11 / 5 / -1 / 2, it is most often described as suited for long, straight controlled tee shots, hyzer-flips that stand up and run straight.

Overview

The Streamline Discs Trace is a straight-stable distance driver with manufacturer flight numbers of 11 / 5 / -1 / 2.[1][3] Part of MVP's Streamline brand, it pairs a manageable 21 mm rim with a smooth, even dome that yields excellent glide, placing it squarely in the 'Speed 11 power straight' category.[1] Most players can stand it up on a hyzer-flip, but it soaks up plenty of power before being pushed off its line, finishing with a smooth, dependable fade for easy ranging.[1] Reviewers treat it as a controllable, beginner-friendly first high-speed driver that more advanced arms can shape on long, straight lines.[3]

Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.

The Trace shines on long, straight tee shots, controlled hyzer-flips, and gentle turnover lines where a less stable distance driver would fade out early.[1][3] Lower-power players can throw it flat for straight distance, while stronger arms use it for placement on tight fairways.[1] Neutron is the durable baseline premium blend; Proton offers premium grip; Plasma is a premium swirl run; and Cosmic Neutron adds the cosmic dye pattern.[1] Streamline veteran Sarah Hokom bags a signature Trace, underscoring its control-oriented appeal.[1]

Best for:

  • Long, straight controlled tee shots
  • Hyzer-flips that stand up and run straight
  • Gentle turnover lines for added distance
  • Straight distance for lower arm speeds
  • Placement drives on tight, straight fairways

Plastics & variants

The Trace is available in the following plastic blends from Streamline Discs:[1]

Electron, Neutron, Cosmic Neutron, Proton, Plasma

Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.

History

The Trace was PDGA-approved on March 8, 2017 (certification 17-19).[2] It is produced by Streamline Discs, a brand in the MVP Disc Sports family alongside MVP and Axiom, and was positioned as an accessible, controllable speed-11 distance driver for players wanting straight distance without a demanding overstable rim.[1] The mold quickly became one of Streamline's most popular drivers, helped by its forgiving straight-stable flight and a signature-series run thrown by veteran Streamline team player Sarah Hokom.[1] It is manufactured across Streamline's full plastic lineup, including baseline Electron and premium Neutron, Cosmic Neutron, Proton, and Plasma blends, and remains a staple control-distance option in the brand's catalog.[1][3]
