Diadem
BluCore Pro 16mm
Elongated16mmGen 4
The Diadem BluCore Pro 16mm is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle. It generates low spin (18th percentile) with low power and pop. It has a light, maneuverable swing weight built for quick hands at the net, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
