Discraft Cicada
The Discraft Cicada is a glidey, straight fairway driver built for shaping lines in the woods. It flips up, holds the angle, and finishes with a gentle, forward fade that keeps you in the fairway.
Flight: 7 | 6 | -1 | 1. The Cicada is neutral to slightly understable, perfect for hyzer-flips, tunnel shots, and long controlled turnovers. Official specs

Plastics
Z Line (premium, translucent): very durable with a firm feel. Z Cicadas stay neutral and glidey for many rounds, ideal as a main fairway workhorse.
Big Z (premium, pearly): opaque Z-style blend with bold stamps and excellent durability. Big Z Cicadas highlight that straight, minimal-fade flight with tons of glide.
ESP (premium): grippy, swirly premium plastic with great durability. ESP Cicadas are popular for everyday hyzer-flips and shaping lines in all conditions.
ESP Jawbreaker (Ledgestone runs): hybrid of ESP durability and Jawbreaker grip, with swirly looks and a slightly softer feel for added control.
Jawbreaker Lite (lightweight baseline): soft, super-grippy Jawbreaker-style blend in lighter weights. Designed for newer players, youth, and anyone who wants easy launch and control.
Z Lite (lightweight premium): Z plastic with microbubbles in the rim to reduce weight. Z Lite Cicadas offer extra glide and turn at lower power.
Mega Glo (premium glow): Discraft’s brightest glow blend on the Cicada. Great grip, strong glow, and the same straight, workable fairway flight after dark.
Titanium (Ti) (premium, stiff): new Ti blend with enhanced grip and striking swirls. Ti Cicadas keep the 7 | 6 | -1 | 1 flight with added torque resistance and long-term durability.
Elite Z Confetti (special runs): Z-based blend loaded with confetti-style flakes. These limited runs offer Z-like stability with extra grip and flashy looks.
