Hush
Elongated18mmGen-1Cold Pressed
The Diadem Hush is a 18 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a cold pressed, Thermoplastic Polyurethane face. It generates elite spin (100th percentile) with elite power and pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's an aggressive, high-firepower build for players chasing put-away power.
