Description

The Diadem Icon V2 Pickleball Paddle is a thin-framed, Japanese carbon fiber weapon built for power players who don’t want to sacrifice comfort. It takes the award-winning Icon DNA and adds a new core, new face tech, and extra stability for a more arm-friendly, tour-ready swing.

Inside, Diadem’s 3xL Core and Flex Stabilization (FS) System work together to dampen vibration and expand the sweet spot, while the RP2 spin face gives you long-lasting texture for heavy topspin, slices, and roll volleys.

On-Court Highlights

  • Japanese-sourced carbon fiber face in a thin profile for explosive power and a connected feel.
  • 3xL Core: dual 8 mm PP honeycomb layers joined by a proprietary film to reduce vibration while keeping power easy to access.
  • RP2 Technology face uses a two-component polyurethane coating plus grit paint for a durable, spin-friendly surface.
  • FS System + Core Molding injects high-density foam around the perimeter to boost stability and enlarge the active sweet spot.
  • 8.0 oz midweight build and standard 16" x 7.6" shape for a balanced, all-court attacking profile.
  • Replaceable edge guard protects the frame while keeping the paddle’s sleek look intact.
  • USAPA approved for tournament play.
