Best paddle I have played with! Developed a nice arsenal of Diadem pickleball paddles now!!

I have bee a loyal Diadem paddler. This Blue CoreHybrid 14 is my 3rd and it is a pleasure to use. I had first demoed both 16 models and had a bit of an issue controlling the POP, one day I played well and the next not so much. I blindly ordered the 14 Hybrid and hoped........ Right out of the box I was happy, I played my game without too much of an adjustment, so I added 2 small strips of weight to the bottom curve near the handle and played a killer of a game! The more I get used to the new spin and pop the more fun for me and not them!! ( I have added the same weights to all of my paddles )

Great spin and feel. Very controllable amount of power for all around solid performance.

Love this paddle. Has fully changed my game and made it so much better.

Great Paddle. Blucore and 18K!!! wow! Not sure if this a control paddle with power, or a power paddle with control. I have the hybrid, has a huge sweetspot with plenty of pop. The spin is unreal. Easily the best all-around paddle on the market.

Easily the best paddle to come from Diadem! My favorite part is def the spin this paddle generates. I've had so many people tell me how difficult my serves are to return. Just enough power to keep games on edge. Fast hands and good stability.

LOVE this new paddle! It has so much more pop/power while still maintaining control. Another win from Diadem!

The Diadem Edge Blucore series are a serious upgrade in power and style when compared to the Warrior Blucore. At a glance, everything about this paddle screams premium build quality. The unique 18k carbon fiber weave, silicone shock guard inserts, and distinct color scheme between the paddle variants really catches the eye. It looks great and plays great. I needed to add several grams of weight on my Warrior Blucore to get decent power. However, the Edge blucores are playable out the box. These paddles are powerful and poppy. The shock guard really does reduce the vibrations felt. Shots on the edge feel softer than other foam paddles I've used.

After 100 hours my Edge Bluecore Hybrid 16mm has only gotten better. Better control and touch while maintaining great power and pop and spin. Using an eraser and keeping the paddle in a cover and bag helps imo. At a time of use that a player would have to be replacing a Joola my thoughts are that I can't wait to give my yearly update in 9 months!

A lot of control with this new paddle. I feel confident in it's reaction.

I really liked the paddle!

Very unique and a new feel profile than I am used to!

So I am enjoying my paddle. It has made a noticeable difference in my game.

Absolutely love this paddle great touch great power

First my handle is 4 1/4 inches. The paddle is perfectly balanced with good power and pop and great spin and control from the 18k face. Unlike the EDGE 18k the paddle is faster in the hands with both a lower static and swing weight. I therefore added 4 inches of lead tape to the top of the paddle to make in head heavier. It became a spin beast. Great power from the baseline including serves that are unreturnable. Love it.

I love the paddle. I feel I have more control of my shots.

I think rating it 5 stars is enough said

I have only played with it a couple of times but, this paddle has amazing pop. I still get the control I want with dinks and cut shots. I also like the shape of the paddle.

Lots of control but yet power

I demoed 12 paddles and kept charts on all. The BluCore is the best withy the gel inserts for less vibrating. The sweet spot is generous and thepop is great. LOVE THIS PADDLE. FYI, I used CRBN 3x for 2 1/2 years.

Great Pop and great control. Only reason I don't give it a five is that I really like their edgeless warrior paddle that was hoping this one had a little less frame around it. Some dead spots in the corners but nothing some weight strips can help. I don't like having too much power cuz I don't know how to control it so this paddle works fine for that. Great grip and thought movement off of it. I would stack it up there with the boom stick everybody's buying these days.

Lots of pop! Light and powerful, while having plenty of touch and great spin. Better players will appreciate this paddle, not for the meek. If the face is too open at the baseline, your shot will go out. Gentle on your dinks or the ball will pop up and you'll get spiked!

The paddle does not have the power as expected. I added extra weight with lead and now the paddle has more power. The control is excellent. I am using almost every day and happy with it.

Seriously one of the best paddles. Had the warrior bluecore n i stil love it. But the new one just hits differently.

So far I love the paddle. Plenty of control in the soft game and plenty of power as well.

This paddle has all the best features of Diadem technology thus far. It is hands down my favorite paddle. Great product!

Love this paddle. Did not like it first two times L used it. Way too light. Over swinging everything. Added 15 grams of lead weights and it solved the problem. Plenty of pop and still a great feel for my soft game. Would highly recommend it. I am 87 yrs old and have been playing approximately 8 years. Six games three times a week. Love the game.

still getting use to the new paddle - definitely has a larger sweet spot response. Enjoying alot.

Amazing paddle! I have a stronger drive without having to sacrifice my control like my previous paddles. It truly is Better Than all my paddles.

Solid and balanced. Sweet spot seems to be larger than my previous paddle as well. Has a great feel in my grip.
