The classic Diadem Warrior paddle is back! Designed with multiple Diadem technologies that enhance the playability of the modern paddle, the Warrior's 3X L-Core lets you feel the ball better on dinks while still creating power on hard hits. Three different honeycomb types are sandwiched to reach a 19mm thickness, giving you an incredibly solid and stable feel.

Before the Warrior, this kind of thickness wasn't possible without an enormous grip. The Taper Tech molded handle gives the Warrior a comfortable, slim 4 1/8" grip. Add in our unique Grit Paint for excellent spin potential, and the Warrior becomes one of the most complete paddles on the market.

While the paddle is on the heavier side at 8.5 oz, its balance and comfort make it easy to wield. Like the Icon, the Warrior uses the highest quality carbon fiber and polypropylene honeycomb, and adds Aramid honeycomb for power. You'll find an enormous sweet spot and comfort even on off-center shots.

USAPA approved.

As a beginner moving to intermediate

As a beginner moving to intermediate, this paddle is awesome. Lots of pop, much more spin and control than smooth paddles. Overall...love it.

Love the warrior pickleball paddle

Love the warrior pickleball paddle. The feel, size, weight is great. Small issue is the black tape on neck looked slightly slit when it arrived even though it was protected and packed well. The tape now has slightly lifted off the paddle handle.

Never heard of Diadem or Warrior paddle

Never heard of Diadem or Warrior paddle. No matter I love the paddle. Only been playing 7 months. Love the way it feels in my hand and how it responds to "what I tell it to do." Found it on sale but well worth the regular price.

Paddle plays nice

Paddle plays nice. However, the grit wears off quickly. I have another one I bought in May that is slick faced already.
This is my 4th one purchased in a year.

I have played the Warrior Edge for around 31/2 years and bought it from a Diadem rep in Austin

I have played the Warrior Edge for around 31/2 years and bought it from a Diadem rep in Austin , TX and I’ve beat the hell out of it . I’m a senior player but, play a lot , 1216 games in ‘25 and this paddle has well over 3000 games on it !! The upper middle of my paddle is white from all the hits . I love the pop in this paddle delivers . I looked at and wanted to buy the 18K for two years and finally did one this spring and it wasn’t for me , I like the the Warrior and have looked at other paddles like the new Diadem and CRBN foam core paddie and wanted another Warrior Edge . I forgot it has a gritty finish for spin and control as mine is completely smooth !🤣. Excited to break it out as I’m about to do the next few months in Florida . Some people may find it too large at 19MM thick but, I love this paddle and may. It another to insure I have one well into my 70’s !! Five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️and lots of pop 💥

My husband bought this paddle

My husband bought this paddle a couple of years ago and although he purchased a new paddle of a different model, this remains his favorite so he was thrilled to be able to get a new one the same as his original.
The artist's series of paddle covers are fabulous!
