Streamline Neutron Ascend (Reaper Edition)
The Streamline Ascend in Neutron plastic is an understable fairway driver built for an easy hyzer flip, and this run carries our Reaper Edition flame vortex stamp on the flight plate.
Flight Numbers: 6 / 5 / -3 / 0.5
Neutron is Streamline's tacky, grippy blend. It feels smooth in the hand and carries a bit of dome out of the box, and I have found new Ascends fly a touch more stable than the numbers promise until they get a season of wear on them. Give it time and the turn shows up.
Thrown flat, the Ascend eases into a gentle S-curve and finishes with barely any fade. On an anhyzer it wants to fight back to flat rather than hold the line right out of the wrapper, so let it beat in some before you count on it for sweeping anhyzer shots. Hyzer flips are where it shines: throw it on a hyzer angle and it flips up to flat fast, which is the shot most new players are chasing when they pick this disc up. Forehand throwers like the smooth, shallow rim as much as backhand throwers do.
Want the same mold without the stamp? The Special Edition Ascend flies identical Neutron plastic. If you want an understable fairway driver from another brand that turns over even easier, the Discraft ESP Heat is the one I would point you to. Browse the rest of our understable fairway drivers.
