Diadem Icon V1 Graphite Pickleball Paddle

Diadem Icon V1 Pickleball Paddle

The Diadem Icon V1 Pickleball Paddle is a top-performing paddle that combines power, precision, and lightweight maneuverability, making it an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced players. Built with a premium graphite face, this paddle provides excellent responsiveness and allows players to generate all-around balance. Diadem also uses a proprietary "Spin RP" polyurethane coating which gives the paddle face a tacky surface as opposed to a rough texture. This surface enhances spin potential, giving players the ability to control the ball with precision and finesse, which is especially beneficial in strategic play.

Weighing an average of 8.0 oz, with a weight range of 7.9-8.1 oz, Icon V1 is balanced perfectly between power and maneuverability, allowing for quick reactions and controlled swings. The paddle features a 4 1/8” grip circumference, paired with a Diadem Comfort Max grip that ensures a firm, comfortable hold and reduces slipping even during intense gameplay. With a handle length of 5.3”, this intermediate paddle provides excellent reach and stability.

Already going long with some pretty eye-catching graphics covering the face, this paddle measures 16” in length and 7.6” in width, creating an optimal playing surface with a well-defined sweet spot for more consistent and accurate shots. The 12mm thick high-density polymer honeycomb core provides durability, stability, and enhanced power for players who like to attack from the baseline or control the game at the net. This cells in the Icon's core are smaller than average at just 8mm across, creating a higher "honeycomb density".  This allows for increased control and power transfer, making it a great choice for competitive play. The paddle also features a unique removable 3-piece flush-mounted edge guard, which maximizes the usable striking surface of the paddle. 

Proudly made by Diadem Pickleball, the Icon V1 Graphite Paddle reflects high-quality craftsmanship and innovative design, suited for players who want to elevate their game.
