The original Warrior paddle is back, featuring Diadem’s 3X L-Core and Taper Tech handle for a solid, stable feel with impressive power and control. Its 19mm thickness combines three honeycomb layers, while the slim 4 1/8" grip keeps it comfortable in hand. At 8.5 oz with Grit Paint for added spin and a massive sweet spot, the Warrior remains one of the most complete paddles on the market. USAPA approved.

The Warrior

The CLASSIC DIADEM WARRIOR Paddle is back! Designed with multiple new technologies developed by Diadem that enhance the playability of the modern paddle. The 3X L-Core enables a player to feel the ball better on dinks while still creating power on hard hits. Three different honeycomb types are sandwiched to achieve a 19mm paddle thickness gives the player an incredible solid and stable feel.

Before the Warrior this sort of thickness wasn’t achievable without an enormous grip, however, the Taper Tech molded handle has allowed the Warrior to have a comfortable and slim 4 1/8th grip size. Add in the unique Grit Paint for excellent spin potential and the Warrior becomes the most complete paddle on the market.

While the paddle is on the heavy side at 8.5oz, the balance and comfort of the design makes it easy to wield. As with the Icon, the Warrior uses the highest quality carbon fiber, Polypropylene honeycomb, and introduces the Aramid honeycomb for power.  You will find the Warrior has an enormous sweet spot and will feel comfort even on off center shots.

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!

The paddle is POOR quality

The paddle is POOR quality … paddle face has multiple chips with less then 2 months of play. I’m seriously disappointed in the quality!!

This is my 3rd Diadem paddle- I have never had this issue with my previous Diadem paddles.

Your representative will only offer me a discount on another paddle… seriously.
No refund offered… no exchange for another paddle??? She said it is common for chipping to happen with this paddle… WHAT?? In less then 2 months - chipping is normal. Why do you carry a paddle with this defect face???
I thought this company was better than this. No more recommending this company to others. I have previously recommended Diadem to so many people. No more.
