What Our Paddle Lab
Experts Say
The Diadem Warrior BluCore Standard 14mm delivers a peak exit velocity of 38.15 MPH, ample power on putaway shots without sacrificing control. Its consistency rating of 3.04 standard deviation is average for consistency on paddles that we have tested meaning you will find a performance slightly decrease as you hit your shots closer to the edges of the paddles. The balance point of 9.0 inches puts the weight almost perfectly balanced in the face of the paddle. A twist weight of 26.86 oz·in² contributes to stability on off-center shots, keeping the paddle face square and minimizing deflection during play, but with hard contact to the edges of the paddle, the player will feel a twist in their hand. With a spin rate of 1274.16 RPM, giving players the ability to add spin and still be able to control shots without overspinning the ball.
