What is on the record now?

A sponsor deal or product page tells you the brand and model, not the exact match paddle, weight, or tape. Each field below shows its own source and date.

Paddle Confirmed

Proton Series Three Project Flamingo model line

via Pickleball Central retailer listing; Proton no longer lists this model, stock not confirmed

Tour-reported: This is PPA Tour's undated equipment listing, not an independent recent match sighting. Proton no longer lists the Flamingo in its own shop and shows no roster entry for him. Played shape, thickness, colorway and latest match use remain unverified.

Proton no longer lists Project Flamingo in its own shop, so this links a retailer listing as a model reference. The retailer describes a 15mm Velocity Core version; the cited player listings do not identify a played shape, thickness or colorway, and stock was not confirmed.
