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.
Proton's October 12, 2026 recap reports that she added the Coyote at the Las Vegas PPA stop, after the paddle's August 2026 release, and Proton still lists her as a Proton pro. PPA Tour Canada's undated Flamingo listing matches her earlier Flamingo era. Latest match use and played colorway remain unverified.
Proton's Project Coyote, released in August 2026 and sold as a single Elongated 15mm model. The retail page does not establish a player's colorway or personal build.
