Overview

Introducing Diadem Evolution! This unique monofilament is made from a premium polyamide. It boasts a comfort level on par with some of the best multifilaments on the market. Diadem makes this string with a slippery silicon based coating, resulting in greater snapback and enhanced spin-potential. The low stiffness level makes this a great option for any player looking to minimize the impact shock of a lighter racquet. In addition to rewarding compact strokes with easy depth, Diadem's Evolution delivers impressive power on full swings. Not only is this string perfect for beginner and intermediate players, it should also work well for the advanced player in need of hybrid parts. All in all, this is simply a great option for comfort seekers who also want decent spin-potential and durability.

Not quite comfortable playing with itI bought this for my Head Instinct 105 racquet, strung it at 55lbs (mid range) get good pop on hits when I don't swing or hit the ball hard. When I did hit a hard shot the ball sailed on me, couldn't really control the shots. I play a lot of doubles and rely on placement and control when I make a return or volley. On serves I need to hit a serve at 3/4 speed to get them in leaving my partner at the mercy of the returner. I like how the string snapped back in place with little to no string movement.

Very goodI have been playing with it for a long time, about three months, and it is very effective, hits good, feels soft, durable, comfortable for topspin. I really recommend it.

Surprising monofilamentI have been having wrist and shoulder issues and the pro at my club recommended Diadem Evolution as a substitute for poly I have used for years. I was surprised when this string played very close to poly like he said it did. He and I have both been playing with it for over a month and it has not broken yet.

Comments: This string broke very quickly on my racquet. I use the Head Graphene 360+ Gravity Pro and have a spin-heavy game. It broke within two weeks using it four to five days a week for two hours each day. It was a comfortable string and semi-spin friendly, but not very durable.

Comments: Evolution is as soft as multifilaments and it is more durable. It's good to use for hybrids with sharp shaped polys. I use Diadem Solstice Power 16L in the mains at 54 pounds and Evolution 16 in the crosses at 57 pounds on 2019 Pure Aeros.

Comments: Based on the strings composition, I assumed that it would be a less expensive version of Babolat Origin. Like I always do with Origin, I strung it at 10% higher tension. Unlike Origin, it broke on the first day.
