In shortPlayers find it light and manoeuvrable with a firm, dry feel, little trampoline effect and good control, with power when needed. Some want more power, off-centre hits die for a few, and a few report chips, cracks or rattles. A few found it bouncy instead.

Finds the 2026 Diablo Pro, with its 24K plus 3K face, quite soft with a lot of ball output, which makes power hard to control near the net; they see the Pegasus and Electra as harder and more powerful.
“Diablo pro has really high ball-exit and quite soft with the 24k+3k combo. It's very hard to control your power when you are near the net.”
Tried the Diablo Pro 2026 and found it too bouncy, with so much ball output that volleys and lobs from the back fly into the glass.
“I have tried the diablo, for me it is too bouncy, it has too much ball output. when I volleys or lob from the back, it flies to the glass.”
