Summary
The Proton Series Four is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, often chosen for its balance of power and control. The Kevlar and carbon fiber face is associated with durability and a responsive feel. Weighing 8 ounces with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the mid-weight category. Its 114 swing weight (medium) may suit players seeking moderate power. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay.
This paddle's specifications suggest it could be suitable for intermediate to advanced all-court players. The combination of core and face materials may offer a blend of power and control. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The 80th percentile for power and 65th percentile for pop suggest above-average performance in these areas. The relatively low twist weight rating (3.1 out of 10) and percentile (11th) may indicate slightly less resistance to twisting on off-center hits.
