Axis, Nova or Elevate? Choosing your Diadem racket
Spin, power or control — a plain-language guide to the three Diadem frame families available in Sri Lanka.
Diadem builds three main tennis frame families. All three use Kraibon, the Flex Stabilization System and HMT Carbon — the difference is what each one is tuned for.
Axis — for spin
The Axis 100 FS3 has a 100 sq in head and a 16×19 pattern. Its Air Foil Frame Design is built for swing speed and spin, and Precision + Strike Zone moves the tightest part of the string bed up to where modern players make contact.
Nova — for easy power
The Nova 100 V3 also has a 100 sq in head and a 16×19 pattern, with an expansive sweet spot. Diadem's FS2 double-rib structure gives stability and power.
Elevate — for control
The Elevate Lite 98 V3 is the lightest Elevate, with a 98 sq in head and a denser 16×20 pattern. Diadem pitches it at aggressive, precise ball-strikers who like to create their own power.
