- In this video I compare the Discraft Cicada to the Discraft Passion. They both have very similar flight numbers so let's see how they stack up against each other.
The Cicada is a 7 6 -1 1 .5 Fairway Driver
The Passion is a 8 5 -1 1 Fairway Driver
Let me know if there are any other disc comparisons you might be interested in!

Never lose your passion... or your cicada 🤙
I’m in it for life at this point! Thanks for the comment 😊
Throwing low and into the ground is usually a sign you're pulling through too quickly or leaning forward during your reachback, which usually leads to being off balance on your plant leg. Notice your ground shot with the Passion you literally fall/off your plant foot.
Good content/editing. Keep up the good work 👍
Great insight! Thank you! I’ll look into that! 😊 I appreciate the comment & im glad you enjoyed the video !
Oddly impressive how loud the microphone can be, just got past the two minute mark when music stopped playing and you could actually hear over it decently still.
Yeah we messed with an audio setting that we don’t usually mess with when we edited it & it made my mic volume at the same level as the music. It’s been killing me. I feel bad about it, but there’s not much I can do to fix it except delete the video & reupload it with the fixed audio. At this point, I’m just trying to take it as a learning experience & do a better job adjusting next time. Hopefully it’s not completely unbearable.
You should turn down the music it is way to loud
Yeah this one the music is a little loud. We try to turn it down anytime we use music , but it didn’t get turned down enough like we thought we had done. I’ll fix it for the next one.
I throw a lat64 River, which seems very similar to that cicada, and I think its my most thrown disc. So I completely get why you like it.
Do you throw discraft only?
I’ve heard great things about the river! I throw a combination of trilogy & discraft primarily. I have a few mvp in the bag & one innova disc I throw.
Nice PR 😮 Looks like the your form is really coming together. You should try the Discraft Mantis next!
Thanks! I actually threw my wave after the video was over and got to 338 so I’m pretty stoked my distance is growing! I’ll check that one out!
@@mayadischave you tried a Valkyrie? If you're at 300+ power they should be effortless distance for you.
@@martinmartins7703 the Valkyrie was actually the very first disc I ever had. My dad gave it to me when I was a little girl & then I had one again when I first started actually playing as an adult. It’s been a long time since I have thrown one, but I’d definitely consider it! When I started out the Valkyrie used to be over stable for me so that shows I’ve come a long way haha
Cicada is my favorite fairway driver
I fell in love with it today!
What's the comparison of the hand feel between the 2?
I've tried the Passion but do not like the feel of the rim.
Thank you for the review.
And Congratulations on your new PR.
Thank you! I actually ended up throwing my wave after I finished recording and got to 338 so I made an ever bigger PR than I showed in my video which was exciting. I think I do like the grip I can get on the cicada better. I felt I was able to hold on to it better. I’m not a huge fan of the passion’s rim either, but I can always rely on it to go straight even after it’s been beat in which is why I still throw it. It’s definitely handy to have but the cicada felt great.
Two great discs but the cicada is my choice right now in the bag.
I’m with you on that one!
I liked how my Passions flew, and had a few in the bag last season. But, I couldn't get over the beaded rim. Went to Craves and never looked back. 175g Glow Crave goes straight, 167g Plasma Crave for the s-flight and 150g Fission Crave for when I need something flippy. The fission is really fun getting the slow flip to where it juuust starts riding right at the end of the flight.
The beaded rim throws me off too sometimes. Yesterday when I was playing my round during DDO, I kept early releasing my passion because the rim kept throwing me off. I’ve heard the crave mentioned a few times now. I’ll have to try it!
@@mayadisc You'll be pleasantly surprised.
It's essentially a similar flight to the Crave.
Both are great discs that have a nice tight S flight with a forward to left finish
Currently I don't throw my craves as I'm working on removing accidental anhyzers cuz it'll hold the turn right into a lake 😂 and the Cicada will probably donthe same lol
I’ve heard a lot of people like the crave! I’ve never thrown it though! I’ll have to check it out one of these days.
Good luck with that! I’m sure you’ll get it sooner than you think 😊
Where both disc new or used?
Types of plastics?
Weights?
Hard to compare without that information.
Passion used, cicada new
Passion ESP, Cicada z plastic
I’d have to check on the weight.
I’ll get better at these videos, this was just my first disc comparison video. I’ll be sure to add that next time, thanks for the feedback.
What more proof do you need then that to see that we should all be throwing seven speeds. Congrats on throwing a 7 speed further than an 11 speed!
Love the content. The thing about the Passion if you do a side by side comparison of a 8 speed disc from another manufacture the rim (wing) are not even close. The passion's rim (wing) is closer to a 6 speed discs by other manufactures? You need to compare the Cicada VS River Vs Maul Vs IT Vs FD they all have very similar rims (wing) and feel.
That’s good insight! Thank you! I’ll consider looking into those molds!
I bag the Cicada and the jawbreaker Z Flex Passion. They definitely have different flights, but I like them both.
What kind of shots do you like to use your cicada on vs your passion? For the passion, I usually throw it for straight flights & or lower ceilings. I’m gonna put the cicada in my bag though. I’m just gonna have to learn it some more.
@@mayadisc The passion is a straight shot for me. The z flex plastic is more overstable and has a big fade at the end. Cicada has that nice turnover. The wind behind me I am throwing the cicada, the headwind is the passion. I ordered the Paige Peirce Drive. 11 5 -1 2. I am looking forward to throwing it.
@@fisherguy45 oh dang you got your hands on one of those? Is it the prototype? I saw they only released 50. I was gonna order one but saw it too late. I definitely want to try the drive!
@@mayadisc Yup, the prototype 😊. They released a big supply of them on Friday to the retailers. Might be worth a check to see if they are back in
@@fisherguy45 oh cool, didn’t know that! Thanks!
Great video. Music was a tad loud at parts
Thank you! Yes I agree. I’m usually better about adjusting the music, but didn’t move it down enough this time. I’ll be sure to double check it next time.
Discraft has the -1,1 down out of any of the brands that I have thrown. Crave would be the closest after these two.
