Love the warrior pickleball paddle. The feel, size, weight is great. Small issue is the black tape on neck looked slightly slit when it arrived even though it was protected and packed well. The tape now has slightly lifted off the paddle handle.

As a beginner moving to intermediate, this paddle is awesome. Lots of pop, much more spin and control than smooth paddles. Overall...love it.

Never heard of Diadem or Warrior paddle. No matter I love the paddle. Only been playing 7 months. Love the way it feels in my hand and how it responds to "what I tell it to do." Found it on sale but well worth the regular price.
