Warrior BluCore in action
I have gone back and forth from Diadem to Engage, and so I decided to come back. This paddle is up there with the Vice. I still say the Vice is the best paddle that will ever be made, unfortunately, it’s not USA approved. The 19mm thickness (I love) and just the feel, pop, and control is great. The one thing I love the most is how light it is. I don’t like the elongated handle, wish it had the Warrior length handle but I’ve gotten use to it. Great job Diadem, I may have to get a second one for back up.
The Warrior BluCore 16MM:
Control: 10/10 🎮
The paddle absorbed hits well and had great dwell time.
Spin: 12/10 🌪️
I’m not kidding. The grit this paddle surface had was incredible. Definitely my favorite feature. Aramid Carbon Fiber over delivered in my opinion.
Power: 7/10 💪
This paddle played exactly like a 16MM. It lacked power but gave you the upper hand when it came to control.
At only 8 oz the paddle is definitely light and has a low swing weight ideal for fast hands at the kitchen.
This paddle is for you if you tend to hit out of out balls and need more control in your game. The paddle will absorb and diminish power from your swings allowing you to be more accurate. A great control paddle.
I’ve been playing with a used Warrior BluCore Pro 16 for a while (a friend gave me one), and when I switched to a brand-new one, I was impressed by how familiar it felt right out of the wrapper. The overall feel and balance were nearly identical, which I really value. I’ve used paddles from other brands where a new paddle feels completely different from a broken-in one, and that inconsistency can be frustrating.
The only noticeable difference between the new paddle and the used one was the grit on the face—as expected, the new paddle has a bit more texture, which I like.
Balance-wise, this paddle feels very neutral to me. A lot of popular paddles right now feel more head-heavy, but the BluCore Pro 16 allows me to stay consistent with resets, dinks, and touch. At 8.1 oz, the lighter weight definitely helps in fast hand battles without overworking my elbow.
I’ll continue playing with this model.
Tons of spin when I want it. Plenty of power and sweeter than I expected at the net I think I love it !!! Second week playing it 👍
Perfect paddle for me. Super high quality!
Great for soft game and spin. Also has some pop when needed. It's helping with my control game.
Had to return it wanted the newer version with the serial number on the butt cap. Mine was the older version.
Overall quality and look are exceptional. Balanced feel in the hand. Strokes in the sweet spot are crisp, but mis-hits are not as forgiving.
You can tell this paddle is designed for a higher level of play. Pickleball is such a game of timing and feel, and once I adjust to the Paddles style, I think its going to be a great match.
I love the pop that the paddle has and the textured surface. I’m still getting used to it as I’ve been playing with the edge pro.
Love it. A bit more power than my last paddle so I need to make a few adjustments.
What a difference this paddle has made in my game! I was using a Silkirk, but i'm hooked on my blue core!!
The Warrior BluCore 19mm has a combination of power and control, similar to my first Diadem Warrior 18mm, except it is lighter.
Fine paddle. I would like it made in colors other than only black .
To many dead spots
This racquet changed my pickleball game.
My game went to a different because of the control and speed of this racquet. It’s an awesome racquet. It’s the only racquet I will playing with the future.
I have been very satisfied with this paddle, it is versatile with a balance between touch and power.it is light and feels balanced in the hand, great paddle for beginners to intermediate players!
Hi, I've only played with it once but think I'm going to like it...question, the surface is already dirty- what's the best way to keep it clean? Thanks
Enjoy the power and feel of the paddle.
I am very satisfied with the paddle performance , but it is very early on in my use. I was not very happy with the way the product was packaged. All of the paddles the that I’ve received have come in a box with good packaging and often better branding. The packaging provides additional opportunities you can send for future purchases. This is a basket building opportunity that other brands do a little bit better. I could understand if this came directly from Amazon or another marketplace, but coming directly from Diadem, you really missed the opportunity to upsell me.
The minute I put this paddle in my hand I loved it! Great balance, and performance.
The control and versatility this paddle offers is insane.
Great Paddle. I have used both the Pro / 14 mm and Pro 16 mm and prefer for the Pro / 14 mm. The Pro / 14 has more "pop" without sacrificing too much control. Dimensions and feel of the Warrior BluCore are similar to the Edge 18 SP, which I really like, but the durability is far superior, particularly the edge guard.
Nice paddle. Very light weight! Great spin, good control!
My wife loves it. She has elbow and shoulder problems and this light, shock-resistant paddle seems to have really helped her.
Absolutely love this paddle. Power for drives and control for dinks. Great grit on the paddle face. Friends have switched to this paddle after trying mine out!
One of the best paddleI’ve ever used!
Great paddle.
Step up your game with this paddle! So much control and accuracy! My favorite paddle now!
Love my paddle. It has a great feel and really good spin.
Love it. Perfect paddle and great control and speed. Wish they were more readily available in the UK, but the service and shipping was so quick. One flag though, it arrived in a shipping bag and luckily wasn’t damaged. Maybe when shipping overseas you use a box so it can’t be damaged. All good though and will order again from Diadem
