Description
The Discraft Big Z ColorShift Cigarra fairway driver is Anthony Barela's controlled fairway driver, molded in Big Z ColorShift plastic. It's built for players who want fairway control they can lean on, and it's at its best on controlled drives with a dependable finish. This is the "Dawn of the Barela" Cigarra, part of the limited McBeth x Barela Undead Collection, bringing Anthony Barela into a world of horror through the artistic vision of Brian Allen with an intricate triple-foil design. Anthony Barela won the 2025 United States Disc Golf Championship, his first MPO PDGA Major.
Big Z ColorShift Plastic
Big Z ColorShift is a retailer-exclusive blend that pairs Discraft's Big Z plastic with a stunning color-shifting finish. Big Z is a variant of Z plastic with an opaque look, a slightly softer feel, and oversized artwork stamps, and it offers durability, excellent grip, and consistent releases. The ColorShift finish adds shifting hues as the disc moves in the light, so this Cigarra combines a premium feel with a look that stands out in any bag.
The Mold
The Cigarra's stability lets it resist unwanted turn while pushing forward through the fairway before delivering a dependable finish. Whether you're attacking with power, shaping a controlled drive, or need reliability when the wind picks up, it gives you fairway control you can lean on.
Stability
The Cigarra is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
