When it comes to the Proton Series One Type B Elongated 11mm Pickleball Paddle the first and second thing we noticed was the pop. This thing has serious power. At the heart of this power is the 11mm Proton Nomex Honeycomb core. Slightly different than the core used in the Type A, Nomex offers the same vibration dampening and sweet spot expanding qualities as more common cores but adds more rebound so that we can power the ball past our opponent from anywhere on the court.
With all the pop packed into the Proton Series One Type B Elongated 11mm Pickleball Paddle we were worried about controlling it, that is until we felt the NanoTac-infused Aerospace Grade Carbon Fiber hitting surface. Measuring in at 11” x 7.5”, this hitting surface offers rigidity for dwell time and a long-lasting infused texture that grips the ball so that we can harness speed with spin. The 5.5” handle helps us reach tricky dinks and adds swing speed to slams and strikes.
Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8"
