Elongated15mmGen 1
The Proton Series 1 Type A Elongated 15mm is a 15 mm elongated pickleball paddle. It generates low spin (19th percentile) with average power and below-average pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, plus above-average twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
