Overview
You get a carbon fiber face, PP honeycomb core, standard shape, and extended handle. The listed weight is 8.16 ounces, so the paddle should feel substantial without being especially heavy. Its 16.54-inch length adds reach, while the 7.26-inch width keeps a familiar standard-paddle profile.
Diadem describes this model with a dual foam core, open honeycomb structure, and textured surface. Reviewers associate the construction with stability, power, and a larger sweet spot. The seller lists a 10mm core, while Diadem lists the Pro at 13.7mm, so confirm the exact version before you buy.
Play style
This paddle suits you if you build points with baseline drives and aggressive attacks. The carbon face, extended handle, and foam construction point toward power, stability, and extra reach rather than a purely touch-first design.
You can still use it for kitchen play, since Diadem and reviewers associate the surface and foam design with grip, ball control, and a larger sweet spot. If you rely more on soft resets and delicate drops than drive weight, you may prefer a thicker control paddle.
Best for
- You want more power on baseline drives
- You value an extended handle and extra reach
- You want a substantial paddle with a larger-feeling sweet spot
- You are upgrading from a basic paddle to a power-oriented carbon model
Look elsewhere if
- You prefer a light, quick paddle at the kitchen
- You prioritize maximum touch over drive power
- You need a clearly confirmed core thickness before buying
- You want a compact handle for a one-handed or close-to-the-body style
Strengths
- The 8.16-ounce listed weight should give you a solid, stable feel
- The extended handle and 16.54-inch length give you more reach
- The carbon fiber face and textured surface support grip and ball control
- The reported foam construction is intended to improve stability, power, and sweet-spot size
Things to consider
- The seller lists a 10mm core, while Diadem lists the Pro at 13.7mm; verify the exact specification

- The extended handle may suit your two-handed backhand but feel less compact for other strokes
- The available opinions emphasize power and stability more than soft-game finesse
