I’m a self professed paddle junky just ask my fellow pball players. My latest fix is the mid weight diadem icon. Whether it’s your hard, soft game, or defence this paddle will help. I’ve hit 3rd shots drops that amazed me. Then I’m caught flat footed with my mouth open. I rate the icon as one of the best paddles I’ve owned or tried to date. Hum diadem warrior for Christmas.
