The Cicada is a fantastic fairway driver fromDiscraftthat slots nicely next to the Stalker.
It is a very straight disc that will get some flip from power players at higher speeds. Newer players will find a fairway driver that is super straight and has enough glide to get some serious distance out of a 7 speed.
The Cicada has been seen in the hands of pros leading up to the release and it is a very versatile disc. The Z Line plastic has an amazing feel in the hand and it has tons of durability.
Discraft says this about the new straight fairway driver: “Fashioned from Z plastic, the First Run Cicada ensures lasting beauty and performance. Its durability mirrors the tenacity of the cicada which has stood the test of time. With a trajectory that’s undeniably straight, the Cicada is a force to be reckoned with. Unleash its potential and watch it flip seamlessly. This disc embodies the spirit of adaptability, offering players the versatility needed for strategic shot shaping throughout any course. The Cicada finds its rightful place in Discraft’s lineup. It doesn’t just belong; it thrives, elevating the game of disc golf and complementing Discraft’s legacy of producing outstanding discs.”
Discraft is usually not my go-to brand but I thought I'd give a try for this particular one as a friend of mine considered getting it too. In all honesty, the Cicada has the same feeling for me as the River (Latitude 64): the River is marked as a 7 glide but this could also apply to the Cicada. So, I guess the difference between the two is the plastic and the feel. As much as I appreciate the Cicada in this Z version, the Opto plastic in which I have my River has a slightly better feel and is softer. The cicada remains an excellent disc nonetheless that a lot of disc golfers will love to see fly.
