World's Quietest Paddle' by Diadem Pickleball

BLOCK OUT THE NOISE AND EXPERIENCE THE HUSH: THE WORLD’S QUIETEST PADDLE

We sat down with the team at Diadem Pickleball to learn more about this innovative design!

Introducing The Hush Pickleball Paddle by Diadem Pickleball, the "world’s quietest pickleball paddle." Crafted with molded polyurethane in a two-piece design, this paddle features anti-dampening Kraibon technology and uses a proprietary rubber-blended carbon fiber to minimize vibrations, strengthen the sweet spot, enable spin, and most importantly, diminish sound. The Hush paddle represents the ultimate solution for quieter pickleball, ensuring an enjoyable experience for players while addressing community concerns.

In the dynamic world of pickleball, our dedication to innovation for our athletes is our driving force. Expanding upon our paddle product line, we identified a significant challenge - the inability to play anytime, anywhere. Thus, the Hush paddle was born, designed to enhance pickleball by introducing a quieter way to play while maintaining exceptional performance and quality - a great paddle for players of all skill levels.

Players nationwide, particularly in HOA communities, public parks, residential areas, and near schools and community centers, have faced repercussions due to the loud "pop" noise generated by traditional paddles and balls during gameplay. This has led to lawsuits, play restrictions, contentious Facebook groups, and residential protests across these communities. This issue poses a problem all over the country and we have the solution! Michael Manglardi, Vice President of Operations and Co-Founder of Diadem Sports adds "At Diadem, we've always believed in making pickleball accessible to everyone. As much as pickleball has exploded, the sound of the sport is still a major hindrance for communities and clubs around the country. The Hush is a paddle we're incredibly proud to launch because it continues to promote our Live to Play philosophy and offers a direct solution to one of the real challenges the market is facing."

The paddle was tested by USA Pickleball and found that the Hush paddle exhibited a 40% reduction in noise compared to the industry standard for pickleball paddles and as a result, the Hush was certified as Quiet-Approved paddle by USA Pickleball. Furthermore, the unique materials used in our paddle also produces a lower pitch, resulting in an exceptionally quiet experience.

Evan Specht, Director of Operations and Co-Founder of Diadem Sports emphasizes the company’s “dedication to shape the direction of pickleball”. Specht continued, “The noise obstacle continues to be more prevalent in HOA’s and in communities and parks across the country. We had to do something and so the Hush was designed to reduce the sport’s noise during play without negatively impacting performance. The Hush paddle enables you to seamlessly integrate the "Live to Play" spirit into your life so that nothing stops you from pursuing your passion, even when you need “Live to Play” quietly”.

We've received an abundance of positive feedback, with the most common praise highlighting its remarkable silence. Not only is it the quietest paddle available, but customers have also been extremely impressed by its high performance despite its hushed gameplay noise. - Diadem Pickleball
