Streamline says this about the Flare: "The Flare is the first overstable distance driver from Streamline and is designed for flights with a minimal turn, ending with a powerfully overstable finish, and a reserved glide to prevent going long on the approach. The Flare debuts the new 19mm Driver class making it the first Streamline Speed 9 disc. A truly versatile disc whether fans are looking for something that can handle even the highest power throws, fighting the strongest winds, or for a wide range of utility shots, the Flare can handle them all. Burning brightly on the course, the Streamline Flare is coming to the rescue!"
Flight Metrics
Speed
The velocity required to reach a disc's optimal flight path. Range: 1 to 15.
Glide
The measure of lift generated by a disc to stay aloft. Range: 1 to 7.
Turn
The velocity, relative to the speed of the disc, required to cause the disc to turn with the direction of spin. Range: +1 to -5.
Fade
The low-velocity stability that causes a disc to hook at the end of its flight. Range: 0 to 5.
Look, let's just get this out of the way. If you are looking for something that is a more workable "firebird" based on the flight numbers, them go ahead and keep looking because the Flare is not a 9/4/0/3.5. It is much closer to 9/3/1/4 or 9/3/0/5. Meaning it's actually a cheaper alternative to the Discmania Splice or the Discraft Captains Raptor.
With that said, it is a remarkable disc. It's overstable to the point where it will basically just ignore any and all headwind. It is a perfect disc for scramble shots. Anhyzer flex shots are a breeze. and it is up there with the best of them as a tomahawk/thumber disc.
And the best part? Only $11.99 (at the time of writing this) for all of the mentioned above in some of the best feeling plastic on the market.
