by
Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-ZDYE-CIC (REF1941-44)
Description
The Discraft Fly Dye Cicada fairway driver is a straight-flying, versatile fairway driver, molded in Fly Dye plastic. It's built for players who love strategic shot shaping, and it's at its best on straight drives and seamless flips. If you're shopping for a dependable Cicada for your bag, this Fly Dye run is a great place to start.
Z Fly Dye Plastic
Fly Dye discs are Discraft's durable Z plastic finished with vibrant, colorful dye designs, so every Cicada stands out in your bag. You get Z's long-lasting durability and stable flight with a striking look and a unique grip. The Cicada is also available in Big Z, ESP, Mega-Glo and X Line.
The Mold
The Cicada has an undeniably straight trajectory and flips seamlessly, offering the versatility needed for strategic shot shaping on any course. It's also built for touch shots and controlled approaches.
Stability
The Cicada is stable-to-understable. Understable discs turn away from your throwing arm at speed, making turnovers and hyzer-flips easier and helping lower-power players fly straight. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it tends to drift right during the fastest part of its flight, then shows a gentle fade back to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, drifting left early and fading right at the end. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits beginners who need help getting straight flights as well as advanced players who want to shape turnovers.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 7 | Fairway speed, manageable for most arms. |
| Glide | 6 | Huge glide that floats a long way with little effort. |
| Turn | -1 | A touch of high-speed turn to the right (RHBH) for a little extra distance. |
| Fade | 1 | Very little fade, so it finishes nearly straight. |
