Combine aggressive torque resistance with jaw-dropping, oversized artwork! The Discraft Big Z Cigarra is the highly anticipated, overstable evolution of the Cicada, originally released as Anthony Barela's first signature mold. Engineered to act as a "longer Buzzz," it delivers a remarkably straight push through the fairway with a much stronger, more dependable finish than its predecessor. Molded in Discraft's premium, pearlescent Big Z plastic, this release offers a slightly softer grip than standard Z Line while featuring a massive, stylized custom stamp. Add this stunning, wind-fighting fairway driver to your Discraft Cigarra Collection and elevate your Discraft lineup today!

Flight Numbers & Performance

The Big Z Cigarra operates on upgraded flight numbers of 7 | 6 | -1 | 2 and a Discraft Stability Rating of 1.3. While it retains the incredibly comfortable, glide-heavy hand feel of the popular Cicada, its modified wing shape provides significantly more torque resistance. On a backhand or a forehand line, power throwers can crush it flat without worrying about it rolling over into a cut-roller; it will ride straight for the majority of its flight before executing a reliable, biting fade.

How the Big Z Cigarra elevates your shot shaping:

• The Big Z Advantage: Offers the elite durability of standard Z Line but with a pearlescent, shiny aesthetic and a slightly softer, more tactile grip in the hand.
• Oversized Artwork: Big Z runs are famous for their massive, custom foil graphics, making this disc an absolute standout in any bag.
• The "Longer Buzzz" Flight: Experience the trusted, straight-pushing flight of a legendary midrange, stretched out to 7-speed fairway driver distance with a dependable finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Big Z plastic special for the Cigarra?

Discraft's Big Z plastic bridges the gap between the rigid durability of Z Line and the grippy, opaque feel of ESP. It offers a slightly softer grip than standard translucent Z Line while boasting a gorgeous, shiny pearlescent sheen. Additionally, Big Z discs are famous for featuring bold, oversized custom foil stamps that make them highly collectible.

Is the Big Z Cigarra good for forehands?

Yes! Thanks to the modified wing shape that increases its torque resistance (giving it a Discraft Stability Rating of 1.3), the Cigarra handles the off-axis torque of a forehand flick much better than heavily understable 7-speeds. It is an excellent choice for smooth, controlled forehand drives.

How does the Cigarra fly compared to the Cicada?

The Cigarra was designed to be a beefed-up, overstable cousin to the Cicada. While they share the same comfortable hand feel and massive 6-glide, the Cigarra has a stronger 2-fade (compared to the Cicada's 1-fade). This allows it to fight headwinds and handle maximum power without turning over.
