Designed with muted audio in mind, the Diadem Hush Quiet Pickleball Paddle lets our game do the talking. This quiet pickleball paddle boasts unique materials and an impressive 2-piece construction that connects the inner frame to the outer frame with carbon fiber like a tennis racquet. This construction allows Diadem to construct this paddle with an 18mm polypropylene core. This core works to mute the sound, but mostly eats up vibrations, produces a stretched sweet spot, and provides a softer feel that helps you control the ball.
The Diadem Hush Quiet Pickleball Paddle really relies on the eTPU-Thermoplastic Polyurethane hitting surface to achieve its USAP Quiet Approved rating (Not currently General Use Approved). Stretching across the 10.9” by 7.22” elongated face, this surface is able to dampen sound while providing tac for spin and surprisingly, a ton of pop. This pop off the face allowed us to blast the ball past our opponent with relative ease, in fact, despite the thick core it is one of the poppiest paddles we have played recently. This powerful feel is enhanced by a 5.6” handle that adds swing speed and leaves room for two handed backhands.
Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8"
