- Hyzer-Flip Machine: Intermediate and advanced arms will find the Cicada easily flips to flat from a hyzer angle, pushing for massive distance before a gentle, forward-penetrating finish.

Discraft’s ESP (Elite Special Polymer) plastic is a top-tier premium blend that bridges the gap between maximum durability and superior grip. It offers a slightly softer, tackier feel in the hand compared to standard Z Line, making it a favorite for players who demand extreme control and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ESP and Z Line plastic?
While both are premium, highly durable plastics, they serve different preferences. Z Line is highly translucent and extremely stiff, retaining its original flight characteristics longer than any other blend. ESP is opaque, slightly softer, and focuses on maximizing all-weather grip. Many players prefer Z Line in the hot summer for its rigidity, and ESP in the winter or rain for its added tackiness.
Is the ESP Cicada good for beginners?
Absolutely! The 7-speed rim is highly accessible for developing arm speeds, and the class-leading 6-glide helps the disc stay in the air with minimal effort. Its neutral flight path builds confidence and helps new players learn proper angle control without fading out too early.
How does the Cicada compare to other fairway drivers?
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.
