Diadem Hush Pickleball Paddle

Diadem Hush Pickleball Paddle

Designed with quiet sound in mind, the Diadem Hush Quiet Pickleball Paddle lets our game do the talking. This quiet pickleball paddle features unique materials and an impressive 2-piece construction that connects the inner frame to the outer frame with carbon fiber like a tennis racket. This construction allows Diadem to build this paddle with an 18mm polypropylene core. This core works to dampen noise, but more importantly absorbs vibrations, creates a stretched sweet spot, and provides a softer feel that helps you control the ball.

The Hush Quiet Paddle from Diadem Pickleball really relies on the eTPU-Thermoplastic Polyurethane face to achieve its USAP Quiet Approved rating (not currently General Use Approved). This surface, which spans the 11" by 7.3" face, is able to dampen noise while also providing spin and, surprisingly, a lot of pop. This pop on the face allowed us to blast the ball past our opponents with relative ease. In fact, despite the thick core, it's one of the poppiest paddles we've played in recent memory. This powerful feel is enhanced by a 5.6" handle that increases swing speed and leaves room for two-handed backhands.
