Diadem First Responder V2 Pickleball Paddle

With an elongated shape, soft feel, and graphics that represent those that lift us up, the Diadem Warrior Rush Paddle - First Responder Series provides us with support on the court. The 16.4” overall length teams up with a 5.4” handle to help you reach tricky dinks, while adding speed to your slams and serves. The textured fiberglass hitting surface that adorns this elongated paddle measures in at 7.5” wide and provides ample rebound for pop and plenty of tack so that you can spin your cut shots and drives.

To offset the powerful attributes provided by the shape and hitting surface of the Warrior Rush Paddle, Diadem backed it up with a controllable 7.9-ounce weight and plush 16mm Polymer Honeycomb core. The midweight feel immediately feels smooth on reloads and familiar in all-court play for control minded players.

Meanwhile, the 16mm core offers a soft feel on resets, limits vibrations for good feedback, and resists twisting on off center strikes. Finally, the 4 1/8” circumference grip is wrapped in a smooth tacky wrap so that you can feel confident and in control as soon as you take it out of the box.
