Series Three
Elongated15.6mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Proton Series Three is a 15.6 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Carbon Fiber face. It generates low spin (7th percentile) with above-average power and low 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 control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
