How the Z Line Cicada transforms your shot shaping:
- The Ultimate Tunnel Shooter: The combination of a -1 turn and 1 fade allows the disc to fly incredibly straight, navigating narrow wooded tracks with ease.
- Hyzer-Flip Machine: Intermediate and advanced arms will find the Cicada easily flips to flat from a hyzer angle, pushing for massive distance before a gentle finish.
- Consistent Releases: The stiff, firm nature of Z Line plastic offers a highly consistent release point, perfect for players who prefer a rigid feel for their fairway drivers.
The Z Line Plastic Advantage
Discraft's standard Z Line is famous for being the most durable, structurally rigid plastic in their premium lineup. It is highly translucent, offering a classic, clean aesthetic that catches the sunlight beautifully. Because of its tough polymer blend, it handles violent tree kicks and high-speed impacts without quickly beating in or losing its factory flight characteristics. A Z Line Cicada will stay in its pristine "straight-flying" stage far longer than softer plastic blends.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Z Line and ESP plastic?
Z Line is highly translucent, extremely stiff, and built for maximum durability, meaning it retains its original flight characteristics for a very long time. ESP is an opaque plastic that is slightly softer and focuses on maximizing all-weather grip. Many players prefer Z Line in the summer for its rigidity, and ESP in the winter or rain for its added tackiness.
Is the Z Line Cicada good for beginners?
Yes, it is a fantastic fairway driver for newer players! The 7-speed rim is very easy to grip and get up to speed, while the immense 6-glide helps the disc stay in the air for extra distance. Its neutral flight path helps beginners learn proper angle control without fading out too early.
How does the Cicada compare to other discs on the market?
Players frequently compare the Cicada's comfortable, slightly shallow profile and straight flight path to the Axiom Rhythm or a perfectly seasoned Innova Leopard3. It fills that essential "straight-to-slightly-understable" 7-speed slot perfectly.
