Description
The Cicada slots into Discraft’s fairway driver lineup between the Stalker and the Sting. This disc is a hyzer-flip specialist and has the torque-resistance to handle both forehand and backhand shots of any arm speed. Though similar to the Stalker in flight, the Cicada features more mid-flight turn, allowing it to drift at higher speeds or hold straighter for longer. In comparison to the Sting, the Cicada will not turn as much and will maintain the fade at the end of its flight.
What the Stalker and Sting can’t match the Cicada with is glide. Discraft’s new release boasts a glide rating of 6, putting it on par with the Heat in regards to effortless distance. And it does not disappoint. Distance is not an issue for the 7-speed Cicada as it stays in the air for longer, out-flying the Stalker and Sting consistently.
Flight Numbers – Speed: 7 | Glide: 6 | Turn: -1 | Fade: 1
