Diadem Edge BluCore Hybrid Pickleball Paddle

The Edge BluCore Hybrid sits between a standard head and a fully elongated one. Stretching the face adds a little reach on wide volleys and a longer lever on drives, but because the shape stops short of a true elongated profile, the paddle still comes around quickly when a point turns into a hands battle at the net.

Under the paint it is built like the rest of the BluCore range: a BluCore center behind an 18K carbon hitting surface, which keeps feedback muted while the face still bites the ball for spin. Choose 14 mm for a livelier, more immediate pop and the quickest reactions, or 16 mm for a cushioned response and a more forgiving sweet spot on shots you catch off center.

The Hybrid is also offered as a limited-run Monopoly Limited Edition finish.
