Series 3-Project Flamingo
Elongated15mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Proton Series 3-Project Flamingo is a 15 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates elite spin (90th percentile) with well above-average power and elite 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 versatile all-court profile.
