Delivering a peak exit velocity of 48.31 MPH, this paddle produces one of the highest exit speeds ever recorded, giving players unmatched explosive power and a lively, responsive feel on contact.

The balance point of 9.33 inches offers a stable mix between head and handle weighting, helping maintain control through quick volleys and high-speed exchanges. A twist weight of 25.6 oz·in² contributes to solid stability on off-center hits, keeping the paddle face square and minimizing deflection under pressure. With a spin rate of 933.2 RPM, players can still shape shots and generate controlled spin, while the swing weight of 882.86 oz·in² delivers a balanced response between power and maneuverability. Designed for players seeking to test the limits of pickleball paddles, the Diadem Vice stands as a benchmark for high-performance engineering—pushing the upper limits of what’s possible in pickleball paddle speed.

Hope this paddle becomes legal Patrick Intermediate

Pros: Sweet spot is huge! Very little sound created when hitting the ball. The core dampens vibration & makes dinking a breeze. Regarding durability I have only played with the paddle a few times since purchase.

Cons: Can't play with paddle in touney.

Helps my shoulder! Carol Frazier Intermediate

Pros: I love the power this paddle has, the quiet, deceiving sound and the fact that my shoulder issue (upper arm) has gone away completely! I have been using this paddle for about 8 months and liked it so much, I ordered a back up one.

Cons: The face of the paddle has discolored quickly.

Great all around paddle Gray Intermediate

Pros: Quiet. Everyone comments on the sound. It's almost deceptive. My serve sound like nothing but then there's the ball deep in the court. I'm a bit over a 3.0 and have only tried 3 paddles but this is my favorite so far. I feel it's improved my game. I bought it because its supposed to help with tendonitis which hasn't happened so far. But hopefully will down the road. I don't know if it give me anymore power but its helped with accuracy.

Cons: None so far.

About the Brand

Diadem was founded in 2015 with a single goal in mind - to develop the most innovative, high-quality tennis products in the world to help players maximize their performance. They found that the tennis industry had become stagnant, with very few brands that were challenging the status quo. With a team made up of former collegiate and professional players and coaches, Diadem set out to develop new and exciting products that catered to players of all levels looking to elevate their game. In 2019 they decided to change the game again by taking their strategy and engineering into Pickleball. As their team moved from playing tennis every day to playing Pickleball they realized the growth in this new sport was here to stay.

As the last American racket sports brand, all of their products are designed and developed in their global headquarters located in the heart of the hottest tennis market in the country - Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Their extensive research and rigorous testing process ensure that every product developed meet superior levels of quality. Through their combined 100+ years of experience as tennis players pickleball players and coaches, they have identified challenges in the industry where tennis equipment has failed its players and developed the solutions to overcome those challenges.

Their flagship paddle, the Icon, is truly innovative with a surface that will provide more spin than any paddle currently USAPA approved. Their R&D team is currently working on two more paddles and an entire line to accompany them.
