Project Flamingo
Elongated15mmGen 3
The Proton Project Flamingo is a 15 mm elongated pickleball paddle. It generates below-average spin (38th percentile) with average power and elite pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, plus well above-average twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
