Proton Series Three — Project Flamingo
The most aggressive paddle of 2025. Maximum power. Maximum spin. Dual-stamped legal.
The Proton Series Three Project Flamingo is one of the most talked-about paddles of the 2025 season — and for good reason. Built on the same elongated Series Three platform that powered Andrei Daescu to five men’s doubles medals, Project Flamingo takes the original formula and pushes it to the legal limit on both power and surface roughness.
The new Velocity Core integrates high-density performance foam with premium polypropylene honeycomb for more dwell time, a larger sweet spot, and devastating rebound energy. The roughness-enhanced raw carbon fiber face sits at the threshold of what’s legally allowed — and the result is maximum spin on every shot. This was the first paddle ever to earn dual-stamp approval from both UPA-A and USAP simultaneously.
Why Players Love It
- Velocity Core Technology — High-density foam + polypropylene honeycomb at 15mm for expanded sweet spot, more dwell time, and explosive rebound
- Roughness-Enhanced Raw Carbon Fiber Face — At the legal roughness limit for maximum spin generation on every contact
- First-Ever Dual-Stamp Approval — Simultaneously approved by both UPA-A and USAP — tournament-legal everywhere
- Elongated Shape — 16.5" x 7.5" for extended reach, powerful drives, and aggressive overhead attacks
- Project Flamingo Colorway — Bold multicolor gradient with the iconic Proton flamingo graphic
