Proton Series Three Project Peacock Widebody 15mm Pickleball Paddle
The Proton Series Three Project Peacock 15mm Widebody Paddle takes the same confident design of the 13mm model and builds in a thicker core for next-level control and softness. Using Proton’s high-density performance foam, this paddle creates a plush, stable feel that absorbs pace while maintaining consistent pop and power when we need it. The widebody frame offers a generous sweet spot and excellent stability through impact, giving us confidence to take on any exchange.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the 15mm differ from the 13mm version?
A: The 15mm is slightly thicker, giving it a softer, quieter feel and better control. The 13mm offers more pop and faster reactions.
Q: What are the benefits of the widebody shape?
A: It creates a larger sweet spot and improves stability, helping reduce mishits and off-center vibration.
Q: Is this paddle more suited for control or power players?
A: It leans toward control and touch but still delivers enough power for volleys and drives.
Q: Does the textured surface really help with spin?
A: Yes. The roughness-enhanced carbon fiber face holds the ball slightly longer for reliable spin and precise placement.
Q: What separates the Peacock line from the Flamingo line?
A: The Peacock replaces the Flamingos poly honeycomb core with a virtually uncrushable full performance foam core while retaining the trusted foam perimeter and other technologies.
Q: Can I use this in official tournaments?
A: Yes, it’s fully approved by both USAP and UPA-A.
