The Proton Series One Type A Elongated 15mm Player Model Pickleball Paddle is designed for a controlled feel, with a long 5.5" handle, NanoTac treated carbon fiber hitting surface, and an extra responsive 15mm Proprietary Polypropylene core. This paddle offers a mid-heavyweight and medium grip, making it perfect for players who want a balance of power and control. The Proton Series One Type A Elongated 15mm Player Model Pickleball Paddle is built on the success of the original Proton Series One Type A Elongated 15mm Pickleball Paddle, with added responsive pop and effortless maneuverability to better cater to the needs of Proton's pro players. The proprietary 15mm Polypropylene Honeycomb core stretches the sweet spot from edge guard to edge guard, eats up vibrations for a soft feel, and works to increase dwell time, adding response and power to the paddle. The original NanoTac textured carbon fiber hitting surface returns with its impressive tac, impressive linger time, and long-lasting performance, enabling players to hit every shot in their bag.
