Discraft Cicada Flight Chart
The Discraft Cicada has flight numbers of 7 | 6 | -1 | 1 and is known as a smooth, glide-heavy fairway driver built for straight flights and easy control. Designed as a neutral-to-slightly understable driver, the Cicada excels at hyzer flips, straight tunnel shots, and controlled turnovers, making it a versatile option for players of all skill levels.
Cicada Flight Path for Beginners
Beginners will find the Cicada very forgiving and easy to throw. Its high glide helps generate distance even at lower arm speeds, while the mild turn allows it to fly straight without dumping left early. When released on slight hyzer, it flips up cleanly and finishes with a gentle, predictable fade.
Flight Chart for Intermediate Players
Intermediate players often rely on the Cicada as a go-to fairway driver for shaping lines. It holds hyzer flips, straight shots, and subtle turnovers with ease, making it especially effective in wooded fairways. The glide allows it to push forward for extra distance without sacrificing control.
Flight Numbers for Advanced and Pro Players
Advanced and professional players use the Cicada as a finesse fairway driver. At higher arm speeds, it becomes very workable, capable of long turnovers and controlled S-curves. While it is not built for heavy headwinds, its neutral stability makes it ideal for precision placement shots.
Flight Path for Forehand Throws
The Cicada can be used effectively for forehand throws, particularly at controlled power levels. It performs best on smooth, touch forehands where glide and line-holding ability are more important than torque resistance. Power forehand players may prefer to use it for shaping rather than full-force drives.
