Icon

The Diadem Icon is a standard-shaped paddle with a 12mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8 ounces, it falls into the midweight category, offering maneuverability while still providing some power. Its 5-inch grip may be less suitable for players preferring two-handed backhands. The Icon's swing weight of 107 is considered low, making it easy to swing. The twist weight of 5.89 suggests moderate torsional stability. With a spin rating of 3.5/10 and a twist weight rating of 3.9/10, this paddle may be best suited for intermediate players looking for a blend of control and power. The lower swing weight could benefit players prioritizing quick reactions at the net. However, players seeking maximum power or spin might find its performance limited.
