The Diadem Edge BluCore Hybrid is a high-performance USAPA/UPA-certified pickleball paddle designed to blend power with control across all court zones. Built around Diadem’s PowerSync BluCore Technology — a full-foam EPP core intended to resist core crush and delamination — this paddle delivers explosive drives while maintaining on-court stability and responsiveness. Its hybrid shape combines a slightly shorter, wider face with a generous sweet spot for versatile shotmaking and improved manoeuvrability in fast rallies.
Colour: Black/Grey
Staff Pro Review:
Players will notice strong pop and lively response off the face thanks to the 18K carbon fibre surface and BluCore core, yet the wider hybrid profile keeps touch and precision intact. Its balanced dynamics suit all-court players who mix power drives with control-oriented placements.

FAQs
1. How does BluCore differ from a traditional honeycomb core?
BluCore uses a single-piece EPP foam core rather than a bonded honeycomb. This improves durability, reduces the risk of core crush, and delivers a more consistent response across the face over time.
2. What’s the benefit of the hybrid shape compared to elongated paddles?
The hybrid shape increases the sweet spot and stability while remaining quick through the air. It suits players who want strong all-court performance rather than maximum reach or pure power.
3. Should I choose 14 mm or 16 mm thickness?
The 14 mm offers a firmer, livelier feel with easier power, while the 16 mm provides more dwell time, control, and forgiveness—especially useful in the soft game and at the kitchen line.
