Discraft Cicada ESP

The Cicada is Discraft's slightly understable fairway driver - a disc built for players who want a workable, high-glide flight that holds straight through the power zone and finishes with a gentle, predictable fade. The standard ESP version is the workhorse of the Cicada lineup: firm, tacky, and consistent run after run. With eight color options across a wide weight range (169-176g) - green/purple, pink, purple, brown/purple, and pink/yellow - this is the most accessible and versatile version of the mold, and the lower weights open it up to players who want maximum glide with less arm speed required.

At speed 7 with a glide of 6 and a slight -1 turn, the Cicada sits in a sweet spot between understable and neutral - workable enough to shape anhyzer lines and hyzer-flip shots, but stable enough to hold a straight line under controlled power without turning over. The low fade (1) brings it back to a gentle finish that keeps it on course without diving hard left, making it a natural fit for straight drives on open holes, controlled approaches on longer par 4s, and wooded gaps where you need the disc to glide through a tight window and land softly. Players across a wide range of arm speeds will find it accessible and rewarding; experienced throwers will use it as a versatile utility driver that can execute a broad range of shot shapes.
