Proton’s Series 3 line is designed around practical performance, and the Project Coyote is its elongated honeycomb option. The idea is straightforward: take the familiar polypropylene honeycomb core that players trust, add a foam-reinforced edge to make the paddle more stable, and refine the throat so that the paddle moves smoothly from the hand into the head. The result is a paddle that feels predictable and balanced rather than experimental.
