Diadem VICE Paddle

The VICE uses an EVA foam core rather than the standard polypropylene honeycomb. This creates a much softer, more dampened feel at impact, which significantly reduces vibration and is generally easier on the arm.

No, the VICE Series paddle is not currently USAPA approved. It is designed primarily for recreational play where tournament regulations do not apply.

The edgeless design utilizes a proprietary Core Molding System that protects the paddle's perimeter. While it lacks a traditional plastic edge guard, the material is specifically engineered to withstand ground scraping and impacts during play.

Yes, the RP2 Grit Coating is integrated directly into the high-grade carbon fiber face. This construction is designed to maintain its texture and spin production longer than spray-on or sticker-based grit surfaces.

The 16mm thickness is considered a thicker profile, which typically favors control and stability. Combined with the EVA foam core, this paddle is built to absorb energy, giving you a softer touch at the kitchen line.

At 8.0 ounces, the VICE falls into a standard weight range for pickleball paddles. While the foam core provides a unique feel, the overall weight is balanced to ensure it remains maneuverable for most players.
