Tried a demo at my local club and was pleasantly surprised! Had not heard of Diadem before but am now a fan. I was looking for a little more stability and control and this did the trick. Ate up pace better than my old racquet and is still maneuverable.

I'm italian player
This racket is the best mix of power and control!

Very good racquet in stock form alone. Love the balance, not too head light. I enjoyed the previous version but I feel improved connection to the racquet with the addition of Kraibon. Paired it up with Diadem Evolution in the crosses along Diadem Solstice Black in the mains and it plays like a dream! Diadem continues to make quality racquets comparable to if not better than most racquets on the market. This stick is truly a hidden gem.

Great racquet! Great improvement over V2 (feel and vibration control).

Love this racquet. Has an amazing handle.

Everything is excellent as always

Love the new racquet. Great touch and feel

One of the best racquets I've ever used. I thought I would have to slowly adjust and begin to guide my shots but all of my shots, including my serve, were easily reproduced with accuracy and power!

Received my two Diadem Elevate Tours. They’re great frames!! I’ve strung them both and really like the feel and control the rackets bring. Thanks Diadem, Good job!!

I reviewed this racquet back on 8/26/2023. I originally had it strung at 56 lbs with Solstice Power and was have some issues with control, etc. After getting it restrung to 53 lbs, OMG, what a control monster. I can nail the side line consistently, get some amazing topspin on the forehands, etc. May drop the tension down another 1 or 2 pounds to experiment, but I am loving this racquet.

Context - I’m a 4.0 plus senior player. I’ve been playing with Tecnifibre TFight 305’s the past 2.5 years and love them, but it’s time to replace them and I was looking for something different besides the usual mainstream vendors and stumbled on Diadem after using the Solstice Power strings (which I love). I wanted something with a bit more swing weight as I’m a heavy top spin player and a control freak when placing shots. I could have moved up to Tecnifibre’s TFight 315 but saw a lot of good reviews on YouTube regarding the Diadem Elevate V3 Tour, so decided to give it a try. Here is my review after first hits.

Unboxing - The racquet is beautiful and cosmetically very clean. Love the blue paint and the full head guard (which is so needed, especially when playing on clay). Looks like excellent quality control. I acquired only one to start with so not sure what the quality control is regarding weight, etc. from racquet to racquet is. I have it strung with Solstice Power at 56 lbs on the mains/crosses. I usually play at 54-55 lbs, so I aways string a pound or two up as the strings do loosen up. Strings were stenciled! The grip is a bit more traditional squared octagonal vs. some of the rounded grips you see on today’s racquets, so my hand is getting used to that new feel.

First hits - It took me about twenty minutes to get used to the racquet in terms of sweet spot and timing. The extra 10 grams of weight compared to the Tecnifibre TFight 305’s is quite noticeable but the extra weight produced an awesome topspin forehand and I love the plough through. I have a one handed topspin backhand and it took some additional time to get that working properly regarding timing and sweet spot and I need to get used to the new swing weight on the backhand. Serves are now more awesome - with the extra weight comes more power and my flat serve down the center really flies. Kick serves get some really good spin so definitely more awesomeness. Volleys were well controlled and I did not experience the springy string bed that I usually get with other racquets. The racquet is much stiffer than the TFight 305 and I could feel that in conjunction with the new strings. Arm and wrist were a bit sore the next day but nothing major. Control in terms of hitting down the line or nailing the baseline was about 95%, but I attribute that to new racquet, new strings. Looking forward to the next round of hits after the strings start to loosen up, but so far, so good.

The comfort and control of the Tour is unlike any racquet I have ever used. 10/10 will recommend to anyone looking for a new racquet.

I bought this for my Husband not knowing if he would like the tennis racket, and he is very picky. HE ABSOULTLY LOVES THIS RACKET. He said one of the best rackets he's played with. His words "Super Smooth/Solid Frame" "One of the best sticks out on the market."

my dad and i picked up some of the new v3's and they are great! he has a bit of an issue with his shoulder and elbow, so the elevate lite was great for him and he didnt have any trouble playing with it. we are both fairly new to tennis and the playability of the racket made it super enjoyable for both of us. combined with diadems solstice power string and a little practice and i think i could give federer a run for his money

Quality rackets you can feel. My wife and I purchased each a new Elevate V3. Grips on both are just right. Thank you for the quality product. Couldn't be more happy

had been searching for the racquet which provides a solid feel, balance and comfort. I found it in the Elevate Tour. I had been having shoulder issues and have play tested the popular branded racquets. The Tennis Pro in my area in Cypress ,Texas, Abe Alvarez, had been trying to get me to to go to Diadem, but, I found the earlier versions too light and "whippy". Now here comes the Elevate Tour. It performed excellent from the baseline. I was able to drive the ball deep into the court and execute good topsin on high and heavy balls. The 16x20 pattern helped to maintain a controlled targeted backhand. The racquet was very stable at the net and the feel it provided helped to generate a smooth response. It is strung Hybrid with Diadem Solstice Black / Diadem Evolution 55/52 pounds respectively. This combination created great ball pocketing in the sweeet spot and a very comfortable response. Needless to say, I will be purchasing a second Elevate Tour to add to my bag and look further into other products Diadem has to offer.

315g unstrung along with a 16x20 pattern was my dream spec I searched for a long time.
First, I was very impressed by how accurate the specs were from the website. Quality control I can definitely say it's on par with Yonex.
The grip length on Elevate is slightly shorter than other racquets that I currently own, but it actually gave me more stability to swing on my two-handed backhand.
Stiffness on the racquet was perfect for me, and stability on the racquet was far beyond my expectations.
The weight on the racquet provides me with the confidence to swing freely on my , forehand.
Stock form of the racquet was right on point for my likings without any need for modifications.
Overall, I really enjoyed the time I had on the court and Elevate is a definite racquet to be considered.
