The Proton Series Three Project Flamingo Widebody 13mm is a fast, forgiving square paddle built around Proton’s Velocity Core. It pairs a wider 8.25-inch face and responsive 13mm profile with a roughness-enhanced aerospace-grade carbon fiber surface for quick hands, heavy spin, and confident controlled aggression.
Best For
Players who want a lighter, faster widebody with a crisp 13mm response. The broad square profile provides a generous sweet spot for counters, blocks, resets, and quick exchanges at the kitchen.
Skill Level & Play Style
Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Play Style: Fast, all-court — widebody forgiveness, quick hands, spin, and accessible power
Project Flamingo combines a high-density performance foam and polypropylene Velocity Core for extended dwell and controlled power. Its 13mm profile keeps the response quick and lively while the 8.25-inch face adds stability and forgiveness on off-center contact.
Why Players Like It

- Crisp 13mm response. A faster profile for counters, hand battles, and quick put-aways.
- Velocity Core. High-density foam and polypropylene balance dwell, control, and power.
- Heavy spin potential. Roughness-enhanced aerospace-grade carbon fiber supports confident ball shaping.
- Dual stamped. Approved for both UPA-A and USA Pickleball.
