Pressure Makes Diamonds is the mindset that guides everything we do. It's a reminder that picking up a racket or paddle isn't just about competition. It's about something deeply human. We play to stay active, to take care of our health, and to feel our best. Just as important, we play to connect. We connect with friends, with our community, and through the simple joy of being on the court together.
Really great racquet! Tried many other loaners before settling on this one. Glad I did. Lightweight and well balanced. Ball contact feels solid. The 4.25" grip is comfortable. Only negative is that the grip can be a little slippery when excessive seat gets on it on hot & very humid days. Need to wipe it dry often in those conditions.
I like 4 1/8 handle. It allows me to turn the ball over fast and helps it at the net.
Great racuqet specs. Feels like an extension of the arm. Great for all round game, defense, offense and soft touch at net. However quality of grommets and materials is sub standard. All strings pop quickly except Diadem ProX all poly which gives on average about 3-4 hours of play which is still not a lot. Maybe other poly might work too. The grommets have to be improved.
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.
Have not used it yet - expecting it to be the same as my red one, which is awesome!
