What Our Paddle Lab
Experts Say
The Diadem Edge 18K Middleweight 16mm Carbon Fiber Paddle delivers a peak exit velocity of 37.37 MPH, offering players a lively, controlled feel that balances power and precision. Its consistency rating of 3.09 standard deviation reflects reliable performance across the paddle face, allowing for repeatable, confident strokes throughout the match. The balance point of 9.63 inches provides an ideal mix between head and handle weighting, supporting stability during fast volleys and smooth transitions. A twist weight of 28.58 oz·in² ensures stability on off-center contact, keeping the paddle face square and minimizing deflection, while a spin rate of 762.01 RPM gives players the ability to shape shots and apply controlled spin when needed. The swing weight of 911.15 oz·in² rounds out the design with a comfortable equilibrium between power and maneuverability. Altogether, the Edge 18K 16mm sits right in the middle of key performance metrics—making it a well-balanced, all-around paddle suitable for a wide range of players and playing styles.
