Diadem Edge 18K Max Wide Body Pickleball Paddle
With a precise layered construction and a widebody design, the Diadem 18K Max Pickleball Paddle prioritizes sweet spot size for consistency and control. As one of the three paddles in the new MAX widebody line, the 18K Max gets its name from the 18K Carbon Fiber hitting surface. This naturally textured rigid surface brings high RPMs for spin and extensive dwell time for precision, allowing us to hit specific shots and not lean on power.
The Diadem 18K Max Pickleball Paddle continues to earn its large-sweet spot and controllable taglines with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and foam edge walls. Now widely trusted across top-of-the-line paddles, these materials and the wide design create a gigantic sweet spot, offer rebound for put aways, and encourages us to plow through off center strikes. The edge wall also leads to precise balance that allows Diadem to utilize a 5-inch handle. Shorter than handles found on “Pro” shaped paddles, this handle keeps our hand close to contact, encourages one handed backhands, and helps us reload quickly during hand battles.
