The Diadem A52 is a modern elongated paddle design packed with practical performance and features that are typically paired with higher priced offerings. In addition to the extra reach and power afforded by its 16.53 inch overall length is a lively and power-oriented 13.7-mm Polypropylene Core. Complementing that power with both precision and incredible spin potential is Diadem's use of a Carbon Fiber surface base layer, along with an outer layer of PU/paint. The edge-less design of the Diadem A52 and its average weight of 7.75 ounces create a slippery feel through the air and maximize this paddle's maneuverability. Diadem's A52 is an ideal choice for beginner to intermediate players who want easy power, spin, a high degree of maneuverability and a longer handle. In short, the Diadem A52 equals high performance without the high price!
