Diadem Icon Classic V1 Pickleball Paddle ? The Iconic Return of Power and Spin The original ICON is back?and better than ever. The Diadem Icon Classic V1 paddle delivers a clean blend of precision, control, and spin, all built around a pro-level performance frame. Featuring Japanese-sourced carbon fiber for a perfect mix of stiffness and touch, this paddle gives you power from the baseline and finesse at the net. The core of the paddle is built with an 8mm polypropylene honeycomb, offering a responsive feel and enhanced comfort on every stroke. Whether you're executing deep drives or delicate dinks, the paddle?s balance and control allow you to dictate play with confidence. What truly sets the Icon apart is its Spin RP surface?a proprietary two-component polyurethane coating that?s USAPA-approved and engineered to grip the ball longer, giving you top-tier spin potential. Paired with a sleek, replaceable edge guard and standout graphics (including a Texas A M colorway), the Icon Classic V1 looks as good as it plays.
