Description

The Diadem Edge 18K Pickleball Paddle is a high-tech, spin-first weapon built around a revolutionary 3D 18K carbon fiber face. Its triaxial weave, 16 mm core, and midweight balance give advanced players the tools to attack with heavy spin while keeping precise control at the kitchen.

Using three interwoven carbon yarns at 60-degree angles, the Edge 18K’s face grips the ball from any contact point, amplifying spin and feel far beyond traditional raw carbon designs. Paired with an 8.0 oz, 16 mm build and the Edge Shield Pro edge guard, you get a paddle that’s fast, stable, and built to last through serious play.

On-Court Highlights

  • 3D 18K carbon fiber face with a triaxial weave for maximum spin from every angle of contact.
  • 16 mm polypropylene honeycomb core with 8 mm cell density for a controlled, stable response on both dinks and drives.
  • 8.0 oz midweight build and 16.4" length for a balanced mix of hand speed, reach, and plow-through.
  • Hybrid-shaped 7.5" width that feels quick in the hand but still offers a generous sweet spot.
  • 5.3" handle length ideal for players who like extra leverage or compact two-handed backhands.
  • Edge Shield Pro edge guard adds durability with a high-density lip on the corners to resist scrapes and chips.
  • USAPA approved for league and tournament play.
