First day using proton flamingo review

First of all this paddle hits HARD and spins just as hard. Most of my serves and spikes felt very powerful, this is coming from a Selkirk Halo. I got a lot of free points with just my serves.

I weighed the 2 paddles and the flamingo is .2oz heavier but I felt quicker at the kitchen line than my previous paddle. Almost ultra instinct.

Dinking was a little harder since there’s a lot of power with the paddle, lots of outs and pop ups at first but after a while it felt like an extension of myself.

I did put an overgrip on since I’ve heard from a lot of people that the original grip is not good. I trusted the people so I have not had a chance to try the original grip.

Overall this paddle is amazing, I don’t know about other paddles other than an Amazon one and the halo but god damn I can feel the step up. Pricy though :(
