Diadem Warrior Edge 16mm Paddle - First Responder Series The Warrior Edge Carbon Fiber Paddle - First Responder Series from Diadem has the same materials and features as Diadem's original Warrior Edge - such as a 16mm (0.63") thick core, which is thicker than most paddles, but adds tributes to our nation's firefighters (red), policemen and women (blue), and military service members (green) with eye-catching patriotic designs. The Warrior Edge now helps you pay respect to some of our country's bravest "warriors." Perhaps you are one, or know someone for whom one of these beautiful paddles would make the perfect gift. These new Warrior Edge paddle retain high-performance power with more speed and maneuverability. Featuring a polymer honeycomb composition, the control-oriented thick core also contributes to fewer impact vibrations so players can maintain a steady hold on their paddle during quick exchanges.
The Warrior Edge First Responder Pickleball Paddle weighs in at 7.8 – 8.2 oz., keeping it comfortably in the midweight range. It has a small 4-1/8" grip circumference, which is easily beefed up a bit with an overgrip or two. The handle length is 5" which provides sufficient room for most players. Its surface is composed of etched carbon fiber which aligns vertically to "bite" the ball and won't wear down like a gritty painted or overlaid surface, enabling you to leverage spin more easily on your cuts, slices and spin serves. Finally, the Aero Guard edge guard accelerates air flow across the thickness of the paddle, resulting in quicker resets back to "ready position," and a more durable edge guard overall with valleys and ridges to absorb impact.
The Warrior Edge Carbon Fiber Paddle - First Responder Series from Diadem pays respectful tribute to those who put themselves in harm's way, and performs every bit as good as it looks. |
