Overview
Without skipping a beat, Diadem follows up their update to the Edge 18K with the Diadem Edge 18K Power Pro! This 18K paddle still delivers superior spin potential via the Triaxial Carbon surface with the yarns of material positioned at 60 degree angles and turn-key performance, but don t let the name fool you. Under the hood, Diadem s 18K Power features a beautifully executed 16.5 in Thermo-Formed/Uni-Body design that encases a 16mm Polypropylene Honeycomb Core and now affords a slight trade off in face size for a longer 5.7 in handle. The latter trait makes the 18K Power easier to accelerate and also provides enough real estate on the handle to control the action, using the one or two-handed approach. Along with its 8 oz. average weight, thermo-forming the 18K Power Pro dials up the quality of power by refining the energy return and also improves overall paddle stability, comfort and durability. From local to center court, whether you roll or chip (or both!) your way from the baseline to the kitchen, the Diadem Edge 18K Power Pro is a most reliable weapon.
