The Discraft Mega GLO Cicada pairs a glide-forward fairway flight with glow plastic for rounds that run past sunset. Its 7 / 6 / -1 / 1 flight ratings offer workable turn and a subtle finish, making it a useful choice for shaping lines rather than forcing a hard fade.
Glide, touch, and line shaping
The Cicada’s smooth rim and comfortable feel suit controlled releases. With enough speed, it can work straight fairways, gentle hyzer-flips, and controlled turnovers. Adjust your angle and pace to the shot: a lower-power release may finish sooner, while a stronger throw can bring out more turn.
- Straight fairways: Explore a glide-focused line with less finishing fade than a more overstable driver.
- Gentle hyzer-flips: Use a slight hyzer release and learn how your throwing speed brings the disc toward flat.
- Controlled turnovers: Shape a turning flight without relying on maximum power.
- Late rounds: Charge the glow plastic before throwing to help keep the disc visible after daylight fades.
Why Mega GLO?
Discraft’s Mega GLO blend adds enhanced glow visibility with a tacky grip and slightly flexible feel. It gives you another way to enjoy the Cicada’s familiar fairway role after dark, without assuming a special run-specific stability or a guaranteed glow duration.
When the round reaches its final wooded holes at dusk, charge the Cicada, pick your gap, and focus on a smooth release. Its touch-oriented flight rewards choosing a line you can repeat rather than trying to overpower the fairway.
