Luckily, the 15mm Hybrid Nomex and Polypropylene core more than answers the call. This core further amplifies dwell time, offers a soft feel, and even rebounds behind the ball for some extra pop. The combination of materials promises a great feel out of the box that lasts match after match after match. The 7.9-ounce weight and 5.375-inch handle work with the edgeless design to enhance hand speed at the net.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActual grip sizes may vary up to 1\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAverage Weight: 7.9oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight Range: 7.7 - 8.1 ounces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrip Circumference: 4 1\/4\" (Medium) Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1\/8\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrip Style: Comfort Grip\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrip Manufacturer: Proton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Length: 5.375\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaddle Length: 16.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaddle Width: 7.375\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaddle Face: Aersospace Grade Bi-directional Carbon Fiber, Exposed Kevlar Weave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCore Material: Polypropylene Nomex Hybrid\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCore Thickness: 15mm (.591\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdge Guard: Edgeless\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufacturer: Proton Pickleball\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46916208001250,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/6137\/8274\/files\/PRO110_Series-Four_1_1000__43744.jpg?v=1760287532"},{"product_id":"proton-series-three-pickleball-paddle-project-flamingo","title":"Proton Series Three Pickleball Paddle - Project Flamingo","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe loved the original Series Three, so when we heard that the Proton Series Three - Project Flamingo was essentially that paddle on steroids, we had to give it a go—boy does this thing provide. With the same shape and similar materials to the Series three, Project Flamingo introduces an updated core and a slightly-more textured hitting surface to promise even more power in a proven package. This new “Velocity Core” measures in at 15mm thick to harness enough power through rebound and pop to help this paddle earn its quickly growing reputation as one of the most aggressive on the market, while still enabling us to keep our shots on the court.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpeaking of between the lines, the 16.5” Proton Series Three - Project Flamingo helps us keep all of our passes, resets, and slams between the lines through a thoughtful combination of features. The aforementioned core offers an expanded sweet spot for consistent response and plenty of vibration reduction, while the 7.5” wide hitting surface, with its long-lasting enhanced roughness, promises the spin RPM’s we need to dominate with precise power. The 5.375” handle completes this powerful and poppy paddle by keeping our hand close to the sweet spot without hurting our ability to reach tricky dinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActual grip sizes may vary up to 1\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAverage Weight: 8.0oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight Range: 7.8 - 8.2 ounces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrip Circumference: 4 1\/4\" (Small) Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1\/8\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrip Style: Perforated, Cushioned\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrip Manufacturer: Proton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Length: 5.375\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaddle Length: 16.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaddle Width: 7.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaddle Face: Roughness-Enhanced Aerospace Grade Carbon Fiber\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCore Material: Velocity Core, Polypropylene Honeycomb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCore Thickness: 15mm (.591\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdge Guard: 1\/4\" overlapping paddle face\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufacturer: Proton Pickleball\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46916209377506,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/6137\/8274\/files\/PRO109_Series-Three_Project-Flamingo_1_1000__90932__07535.jpg?v=1760287751"}],"url":"https:\/\/sirpickleball.com\/collections\/proton.oembed","provider":"Sir Pickleball","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
