Details

15mm widebody defensive pickleball paddle featuring a carbon fiber face and performance foam core for stability, control, and touch in Proton’s Series Three collection.

Lightweight/Medium Grip

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.

NOTE - customers cannot select the color of used paddles, and used paddles are not eligible for return. Please see more info in the FAQ section, below.

+ Key Features
  • Performance Foam Core (15mm) – Thicker construction softens impact and enhances control for smooth, consistent play for a true Gen 4 paddle.
  • Aerospace-Grade Carbon Fiber Face – Engineered surface texture adds spin and maintains precise shot accuracy.
  • Widebody Design – Maximizes the hitting area for stability and forgiveness across the entire face.
  • Comfort-Oriented Grip and Balance – Perforated and cushioned handle keeps hands relaxed through long matches.
  • Tournament Approved – Meets both USAP and UPA-A certification standards.
 
Expert Review
"The 15mm Peacock feels buttery and solid. It’s one of those paddles that lets you reset confidently and still attack when the opportunity comes. The widebody build really shines here, offering forgiveness without giving up control."

Frequently Asked Questions

+ How does the 15mm differ from the 13mm version?
The 15mm is slightly thicker, giving it a softer, quieter feel and better control. The 13mm offers more pop and faster reactions.
+ What are the benefits of the widebody shape?
It creates a larger sweet spot and improves stability, helping reduce mishits and off-center vibration.
+ Is this paddle more suited for control or power players?
It leans toward control and touch but still delivers enough power for volleys and drives.
+ Does the textured surface really help with spin?
Yes. The roughness-enhanced carbon fiber face holds the ball slightly longer for reliable spin and precise placement.
+ What separates the Peacock line from the Flamingo line?
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.
+ Can I use this in official tournaments?
Yes, it’s fully approved by both USAP and UPA-A.
+ What should I expect if I purchase the Used Paddle option?
The Used Paddle option may include open-box, demo, customer-returned, cosmetically blemished, or otherwise gently used paddles. Each paddle is inspected before being offered for sale. Used paddles can be any of the colors pictured above and colors may vary from the paddle pictures. Customers cannot select the color of used paddles.

Used paddles are sold as final sale items and cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded unless the paddle has been materially misrepresented.
