Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the 13mm Peacock compare to the 15mm version?
A: The 13mm is thinner and faster through the air, offering more pop. The 15mm feels a bit softer and provides extra control.
Q: My friend loves their Gen 3 Flamingo, but I heard this is Gen 4?
A: Correct! The Peacock replaces the well trusted poly honeycomb core of the peacock with a performance foam core that resists core crush, adds stability, and interacts even more effectively with the foam perimeter.
Q: Does it create good spin?
A: Yes. The roughness-enhanced carbon fiber surface grips the ball to create reliable spin on every shot.

A:The elongated shape promotes reach at the net and power through swing speed to promote offensive speed, where the widebody is a better in the hands of a defensive player who thrives at the kitchen.

A: Players who like to play fast, counter, and attack at the net will love the quick response and crisp energy transfer.
Q: Is it durable?
