Series One Type A (elongated)

The Proton Series One Type A is an elongated paddle with an 11mm polypropylene honeycomb core. This core material often provides a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 8.2 oz and has a 5.5-inch grip. Its elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. With a swing weight of 124, categorized as high, this paddle may be best suited for players seeking more power. The high swing weight, placing it in the 93rd percentile, may require more effort to swing but can generate increased power. The twist weight is 5.91, falling in the 28th percentile, suggesting moderate torsional stability. The head-heavy balance point, in the 93rd percentile, further contributes to the power-oriented nature of this paddle. While the thin core and head-heavy balance may enhance power, they could also reduce control for some players. The "other" surface material lacks specific details, limiting further analysis of its potential impact on play.
