Proton Project Flamingo
Our take on the Proton Project Flamingo
The updated Series Three model from Proton features a more powerful core and a very gritty hitting surface for great pop and spin. The Flamingo, released in January 2025, has been used by several top pros this year and the 15mm “Velocity Core” has earned this paddle a reputation as one of the most aggressive on the market.

How We Tested
Our paddle reviewers (all 5.0+ players) work with other high-level players in their area to test paddles on a variety of shots. This testing involves several hours of drills and games in an effort to determine how the paddle impacts performance in real-world scenarios.
We use the Life Time LT Pro 48 pickleball for our testing.
