What players say
Reviewers see the Nova V3 Tour as the most complete frame in Diadem's Nova V3 lineup, adding stability and a more solid feel over the lighter Nova V3 100 while keeping the line's trademark easy power. It suits intermediate to advanced players who want a heavier, plusher power frame, with the usual power-racquet tradeoff of less refined touch at net.
Best for
- Intermediate to advanced players
- Players who like heavier, solid-feeling frames
- Flatter, linear ball strikers
- Baseliners wanting easy power with more stability than lighter Nova models
Pros
- Solid, stable feel despite being maneuverable for its weight, with most of the mass in the handle
- Kraibon elastomer and Flex Stabilization System dampen vibration well without deadening feedback
- Strong, easy power that reviewers compare favorably to the Babolat Pure Drive
- Was the standout, most-preferred model among the Nova V3 lineup for the reviewer
Cons
- Like most power-oriented frames, touch and control at net are less refined
- Flatter launch angle than typical spin frames means it rewards a more linear, flat swing rather than heavy topspin

It has a nice solid feel to it, but most of the weight is in the handle, so it is still maneuverable for its weight.

Of all the racquets in the NOVA line-up, I gravitated the most towards the Tour model.
— Jonas Eriksson, Web
The NOVA v3 Tour is the heaviest and more suitable for intermediate to advanced players that want a very solid feel and prefer heavier racquets.
