What the Cicada brings to your game:
Beginner-Friendly Distance: The -1 turn and 6 glide keep the disc aloft without requiring professional-level arm speed, preventing the early fade common in faster drivers.
The Ultimate Hyzer-Flip: Intermediate and advanced arms will find the Cicada effortlessly pops up to flat from a hyzer angle, pushing for incredible distance in tight woods.
Sweeping Turnovers: When powered up or thrown on an anhyzer angle, it holds a beautiful, long turnover line that gently settles to the ground without burning out.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Discraft Cicada
Is the Discraft Cicada a good disc for beginners?
Absolutely! The Cicada is widely praised as one of the best fairway drivers on the market for newer players. Its comfortable 7-speed rim is very easy to grip and get up to speed, while the immense 6-glide helps the disc stay in the air for extra distance. Its neutral flight path builds confidence and helps new players learn proper angle control.
How does the Titanium (Ti) Cicada fly differently than other plastics?
While most plastics share a Discraft Stability Rating of 0.5, the Titanium Cicada is noticeably more overstable right out of the box, carrying a Stability Rating of 1.7. It requires a touch more arm speed to achieve a full hyzer-flip, but rewards players with a highly trustworthy flight path that fights torque and wind much better than stock runs.
How does the Cicada compare to other discs on the market?
Players frequently compare the Cicada's comfortable, slightly shallow profile and straight flight path to the Axiom Rhythm or a perfectly seasoned Innova Leopard3. It is designed to be your go-to "straight-to-slightly-understable" fairway weapon.
