The paddle that Tony, Jill, and I all use is the Diadem Icon. To be frank, Tony was surprised at how well this paddle played when we first got it. Diadem is new to pickleball, but the Icon paddle is amazing. You can read our full review of the paddle here. https://wearepickleball.com/diadem-ic...
If you are ready to take the Icon paddle onto the court to do battle, you can get one at DiademPickleball.com. Use the code VIPickleball to get 10% off your purchase.
