Proton Series Three Project Peacock 15mm Elongated Pickleball Paddle
Controlled Dwell • Natural Spin • Extra Reach — Gen 4 foam feel that won’t “crush,” built to show off.
Aptly named, the Proton Series Three Project Peacock 15mm is made for showing off. From the first hit, you’ll feel how the paddle’s 15mm EVA foam + high-density foam core work together to create a controlled, consistent response across the face that simply won’t break down or “crush.” That added dwell time helps make dinks softer, drops cleaner, and volleys easier to keep low—while still giving you plenty of power when you step into a passing shot.
The texture enhanced raw carbon fiber face bites into the ball for spin that feels natural and repeatable. Paired with the 16.5" elongated shape and a 5.375" handle, you get the reach to chase lobs and the leverage to rip forehands down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this paddle good for players who want more control?
A: Yes. The 15mm foam build creates a plush, consistent feel that helps with drops, dinks, and resets—more controllable than the 13mm Elongated, but less defensive than the 15mm Widebody.
Q: What separates the Peacock from similar Flamingo’s?
A: While both lines are prolific, the Peacock moves Proton into Gen 4 by replacing the poly honeycomb core with a performance foam core that resists crushing and delivers a smoother feel.
Q: Does the raw carbon face actually add spin?
A: Absolutely. The textured surface grabs the ball cleanly, helping you shape topspin and slice with less effort.
Q: Can I use this paddle in sanctioned tournaments?
A: Yes. It holds both USAP and UPA-A certifications.
Q: Is the elongated shape hard to get used to?
A: Most players adjust quickly. The added reach helps defend wide balls and adds leverage for put-aways.
Q: What grip size does it use?
A: Medium 4.25" grip with a cushioned, perforated wrap for comfort. (Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8")
