Get ready for the launch of the Anthony Barela First Run Cigarra, an all-new fairway driver designed in collaboration with Anthony Barela. If you love the Cicada, but want more stability to handle added power and controlled distance, the Cigarra is built for you.
The Meaning Behind the Name "Cigarra"
The Cigarra name isn’t just a clever reference to its predecessor, the Cicada—it’s also a tribute to Anthony Barela’s heritage. In Spanish, “Cigarra” translates to cicada, making it the perfect name for this overstable evolution of the mold. Just like its namesake, the Cigarra is built for endurance, resilience, and making an impact when it takes flight. This thoughtful name choice reflects AB’s deep connection to his roots while continuing to push the boundaries of disc design and performance.
What Makes the First Run Cigarra Special?
The Cigarra is an overstable, high-glide fairway driver that gives players the ability to push for distance while maintaining control. With flight numbers of 7, 6, -1, 2 and a Discraft stability rating of 1.3, this mold bridges the gap between effortless glide and a reliable fade at the end of its flight.
Plastic Blend:
The First Run Cigarra debuts in Z plastic, Discraft’s durable blend known for its grip and longevity.
Flight & Feel:
While some discs will vary, this release has a consistent dome across the run.
The feel remains familiar to Cicada throwers while adding an extra layer of dependability.
Exclusive Stamp Design:
Featuring the "Overstable Modified Cicada" stamp, this disc pays homage to its predecessor while showcasing Anthony Barela’s iconic “AB” logo.
Cigarra vs. Cicada: What’s the Difference?
With its roots in the Cicada, the Cigarra builds upon the success of Discraft’s recent fairway driver by offering an overstable complement, design with input from Anthony Barela himself. Here’s how they compare:
Disc | Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade | Stability Rating |
Cicada | 7 | 6 | -1 | 1 | 0.5 |
Cigarra | 7 | 6 | -1 | 2 | 1.3 |
Key Differences:
➡️ Cigarra offers more torque resistance, making it ideal for forehands and power backhands.
➡️ Cicada turns more and finishes softer, excelling in long, effortless turnovers.
➡️ Cigarra maintains glide but fights out of turnovers, making it a great choice for controlled distance.
If you’ve ever wished for a Cicada that can handle more power, the Cigarra delivers the answer.
