Verdicts

Diadem Edge 18K V2

Diadem's 18K weave measures at the top end for spin without the harsh feedback most thermoformed elongated paddles carry. It is the balanced option in a category full of specialists.

Six Zero Quartz Control

A control build in the Double Black Diamond tradition, only lighter and quicker. Twist weight and sweet spot are the standouts; power is deliberately mid-pack.
