Description
Overview
The Diadem Hero V2 is Diadem's entry paddle, made for first-time players. It uses the same HMT fibre as Diadem's Riptide line, with a glass fibre construction and an 8 mm PP honeycomb core, so it is lightweight to swing while still giving easy power.
Within the Diadem range this is the learning paddle rather than a tournament stick, and it sits alongside balls and nets in the pickleball category.
Key benefits
- Easy to swing at 7.6 oz, so beginners keep control.
- Wide face gives the largest hitting area while you learn.
- Thicker bumper protects the paddle edge from knocks on court.
- Power comes easily from the 8 mm honeycomb core.
- Comfortable for new players, with a 4″ (size 0) handle.
Who it's for
Choose the Hero V2 for PE classes, beginners' clubs and anyone picking up pickleball for the first time. Experienced players wanting a tournament paddle should look further into the Diadem range.
Sizing guide
One size only, with a 5″ handle and a 4″ (size 0) grip. The paddle is 15.6 in long and 7.8 in wide, with a 225 mm balance point.
Care, safety and set-up
