Flight Numbers & Performance
The ESP Cigarra operates on official flight numbers of 7 | 6 | -1 | 2 and a Discraft Stability Rating of 1.3. Reviewers and players note that standard ESP runs sit right in the sweet spot of the Cigarra line—slightly less aggressively overstable than the First Run Z Line, but still notably more stable than a standard Cicada. When thrown flat, it shows a subtle, gentle high-speed turn before recovering with a solid 2-fade. If thrown on a hyzer, it will smoothly flip up closer to flat and glide much further down the fairway before fading out.

How the ESP Cigarra elevates your shot shaping:
- The "Longer Buzzz" Flight: Delivers incredible point-and-shoot accuracy with extended 7-speed fairway glide and a reliable finishing fade.
- Superior All-Weather Traction: The slightly softer, tackier nature of ESP polymer ensures a confident, slip-free release even in wet or cold playing conditions.
- Workable Hyzer-Flips: Unlike the beefier Z Line runs that stubbornly hold their hyzer angle, the ESP blend allows moderate arm speeds to flip the disc up closer to flat for pushing fairway distance.
The ESP Plastic Advantage
Discraft’s ESP (Elite Special Polymer) plastic 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. Beyond its tactile benefits, ESP is famous for its gorgeous, opaque visual appearance, frequently featuring breathtaking, multi-color swirled patterns that make every single disc a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the ESP Cigarra fly compared to Z Line runs?
While both runs share a 1.3 Discraft Stability Rating, the ESP Cigarra provides a slightly truer representation of the factory -1, 2 flight numbers. It has a bit more high-speed turn out of the box, allowing for smoother hyzer-flips and gentle S-curve lines, whereas the Z Line and Z Swirl runs are noticeably stiffer and beefier.
Is the ESP Cigarra good for beginners?
Yes, especially for developing arm speeds looking for a dependable fairway driver that won't dump immediately. The comfortable 7-speed rim and class-leading 6-glide help newer players achieve straight distance with a guaranteed fade at the end of the flight.
What makes the Cigarra different from the Cicada?
The Cigarra was designed as a modified, overstable evolution of the Cicada. While they share the same comfortable hand feel and massive 6-glide, the Cigarra features a reinforced wing shape that bumps its stability rating from 0.5 up to 1.3, giving it much greater torque resistance and a stronger fade finish.
