Yes, it’s great for backhand throws that need easy turn, glide, and controlled shaping.

It can work for low-power, touch forehands, especially when shaping gentle turnovers, but it’s not ideal for high-torque throws.

Streamline Shift Flight Review

The Streamline Shift is an understable distance driver designed for smooth, shaping flights. It offers high glide, easy turn, and a soft fade, ideal for players who prefer finesse and control over raw power. With its workable flight, the Shift fits comfortably into many players’ lineups for both long sweeping turnovers and effortless hyzer flips.

On a clean release, the Shift flips up from a hyzer angle and glides into a gentle turn, covering ground with minimal resistance. It stays in the air with ease, turning just enough to extend flight without pulling too far off line. The finish is subtle and predictable, helping maintain control at the end of the flight.

The Shift excels on hyzer flips, long turnover lines, and straight drives through tunnels or open fairways. Right-handed backhand throwers will appreciate how naturally it holds a right-finishing line, while lower-power players can still access full-flight distance without needing high arm speed.

This disc is a solid choice for players aiming to shape creative lines with control. It's especially useful on wooded courses or for shots that call for long glide, gentle turn, and a soft finish. The Shift rewards clean release angles and smooth throwing form with consistent, flight-extending results.

Carve up any fairway with the Shift! With its forgiving understability, the Shift is capable of some awe-inspiring hyzer-flips out of the box for most players. With flight numbers of 9 | 5 | -3 | 1, the Shift will provide easy and straight flights for lower power players too. This is truly a disc that has a place in everyone’s bag.
