Discraft Cicada (Titanium)
1
The Discraft Cicada in Titanium plastic is a stable control driver built to hyzer-flip on demand, and the small, comfortable rim makes it feel more like an oversized midrange than a fairway driver. Titanium is one of Discraft's newer blends, and on the Cicada it comes out soft and grippy while still holding its shape.
Flight Numbers: 7 / 6 / -1 / 1
Titanium plastic has a supple, slightly tacky feel that sits between ESP and Z in stiffness, so it grips well without feeling gummy and it takes a while to soften up further. That slow beat in means the disc keeps its stable, dead straight flight for a long stretch before it starts to turn a little easier.
Release it on a hyzer with moderate power and it flips up to flat, then rides that straight line with only a whisper of fade at the end. Thrown flat with less power it will hold a small turn the whole way, so it throws more like a straighter midrange than a driver. New players use it to learn what a clean hyzer flip feels like, and forehand throwers like the small rim because it sits comfortably even in smaller hands.
Want more high speed stability out of this same shape? The Discraft ESP Swirl Cicada beats in a little firmer. Looking for the plastic it gets compared to most? The Discraft ESP Cicada is worth a look. See the whole lineup in our Cicada collection.
