The Cigarra is a modified, more overstable sibling of Discraft's Cicada, rated 7/6/-1/2: the same glide-forward fairway frame with a firmer finish. It keeps the easy carry that defines the Cicada while adding enough fade to hold lines in breeze, aimed at smooth arms who found the original a touch too flippy at power. The glide 6 is still the story: long, floating flights at moderate speed, now with a left-hand ending you can plan around rather than a soft settle. The PDGA certification, granted in January 2025 (cert 25-18), literally reads "modified overstable Cicada," making the family relationship official. It arrived as Anthony Barela's first signature disc with Discraft, and this entry will grow as runs and reviews accumulate.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
