Relative to the Warrior's thicker 19mm. core, the Warrior Edge is paired with a 16mm. core that boosts power, while still maintaining a high degree of precision. Diadem's Aero Guard Channel is yet another refinement, improving this paddle's level of maneuverability, which is handy for quick resets and blocking shots. The Etched Carbon Fiber face is friction based, for long-lasting spin production, and incredible ball control. Its single ply core of dense Polymer Honeycomb material dampens vibration, for increased comfort and also heightens shot accuracy. Power is mainly supplied by the Warrior Edge's ample 8.0 oz. weight and 16.4 in. overall length, which complements ground-stroke effectiveness, and those players who like to tactically roll the ball with topspin at net. Dialing in the quality, long term comfort, and perspiration control is Diadem's Comfort Max grip, which is wrapped around a 5 in. handle length, and 4.125 in. grip diameter. Players wanting an attractive paddle aesthetic, combined with podium owning performance, will not be denied with the Diadem Warrior Edge.
