INOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION – Unlike any other. Super sleek design utilizes a high-density polymer honeycomb core and high end Japanese carbon fiber face. Stronger, higher-quality materials allow for a thinner core while still expanding sweet spot size and effective surface area. The thinner 12mm core improves power and retains smooth play feel while providing just enough ball feedback to promote placement and control.
VERSATILE PERFORMANCE – Well balanced. The Diadem Icon Graphite pickleball paddle has balanced, weight, feel and performance. A solid combination of power and ball control, moderately biased to pop. Featuring 5-1/2″ handle to fit any hand size & 4 1/8” universal grip circumference. It also comes in two weights so players can enjoy either more speed or power in their game: The Lite averages 7.7 oz and the Mid 8.0 oz.
CONSISTENT FEEL – Sturdy, smooth and reliably even feel. Solid feel throughout the paddle’s face for even performance. Smooth but reactive core provides enough ball feedback giving each strike an intuitive feel and predictable response.
HIGH-TECH SURFACE FOR GRAB & SPIN – With a surface made of premium Japanese carbon fiber, the Icon has a great sense of touch and long-lasting quality. It also uses proprietary “Spin RP,” a 2-component polyurethane coating which creates a slightly sticky feel for enhanced ball contact and grip for control and spin.
LARGE USABLE FACE & SLEEK FLUSH EDGING – Edge guard is constructed to be flush with the surface so players don’t experience mis-hits when pickleballs land near the edge of the paddle. This maximizes the striking area so you can take advantage of every inch of space. Edgeguard is also replaceable for superior paddle life.
