At first I didn't like the racket. Because it felt like I was hitting with cardboard. But after putting some weights, on the head, I'm hitting much better. And the racket has incredible power. I obviously can use it in tournament but playing socially it gives me much more power and control

First week with my new Vice!
Received my Vice after a week, was very anxious to try it! Great deal by the way!
The sound was very different, other players on the court asked if that was the Vice? Yup! Just got it.
Ball reaction off the paddle was definitely quicker!
So far really liking this paddle!!

Brand new to the game. So still learning if this is the right paddle for me. But it came quickly and in perfect condition. As I learn and play the game more, I will definitely come back to Diadem for future products.
