Proton Series Three Peacock Widebody 13mm Pickleball Paddle Review

MATT'S VERDICT

The widebody is where the Peacock lineup gets specialized and genuinely different. The stability upgrade over the elongated is immediate: blocks stay on line and resets stay controllable even on mishits, while the low swing weight makes it fast and whippy in hand without effort.
