Proton Series Three Project Flamingo Widebody 15mm Pickleball Paddle

The Proton Series Three Project Flamingo Widebody 15mm Pickleball Paddle combines an aggressive performance profile with the forgiveness and stability of a broad paddle shape. Designed for players who want spin, power, and control in one balanced package, this Proton Flamingo is built to handle everything from drives and attacking shots to controlled resets at the kitchen.

Proton’s proprietary Velocity Core combines high-density performance foam with premium polypropylene honeycomb. The 15mm construction increases dwell time and control while maintaining the power and pop needed to put pressure on opponents. Compared with a thinner, more pop-focused paddle, the 15mm format provides a controlled feel that can inspire confidence during fast exchanges at the net.

The paddle face uses roughness-enhanced aerospace-grade carbon fiber engineered for maximum allowable roughness. This carbon fiber surface gives players the ability to generate heavy spin while maintaining control over the ball. Whether shaping serves, adding topspin to drives, or creating aggressive angles, the surface makes spin a defining part of the Project Flamingo experience.

The Widebody version measures 15.75" long and 8.25" wide, creating a generous hitting area that supports forgiveness and consistency. Its 7.9 oz average static weight and balanced design also promote quick handling without sacrificing stability. A 5.375" handle, 4.25" grip, edge guard, and vibration-conscious design round out its performance-focused features.

Building on the durability of the original Project Flamingo, this Series Three Project Flamingo pushes power and surface roughness to regulatory thresholds. It is also dual approved for USA Pickleball and UPA-A competition, making it a compelling pickleball paddle for competitive players seeking top-tier spin, controlled power, and dependable all-court performance.
