Based on turn + fade. Actual flight shifts with arm speed and conditions.
The Discraft Cicada is a fairway driver with high glide and a touch of high-speed turn, which produces long, floaty lines that do not require heavy arm speed. Its modest fade keeps the finish gentle rather than abrupt. The Cicada works well for straight fairway shots, hyzer flips, and controlled turnovers, and its glide helps it carry farther than its speed would suggest. It is a good option on open holes where you want distance without reaching for a faster driver. This is a good fit for players with moderate arm speed who want an approachable fairway driver, and for stronger throwers looking for a glidey option that shapes gentle right-moving lines.

Common questions

Is the Discraft Cicada understable?
It sits close to neutral with a small amount of high-speed turn, so it will hold a gentle right-moving line for a right-handed backhand throw without flipping all the way over.
Is the Cicada good for beginners?
Yes. Its high glide and modest speed make it one of the more approachable fairway drivers, and it does not require much power to reach its full flight.
What is the difference between the Cicada and the Cigarra?
They share a similar speed and glide profile, but the Cigarra finishes with slightly more fade, making it the more stable of the two.
