Proton Sports: Pushing Boundaries in Pickleball Innovation

Proton Sports is redefining pickleball with paddles that combine aerospace-level technology and engineering precision. Founded by Charles Darling, a veteran of the aerospace and defense industries, the company leverages advanced materials and cutting-edge innovation to create durable, high-performance paddles that stand the test of time.

One of Proton’s standout features is the use of nanotechnology in some of its paddles. Originally developed for NASA to produce resistance, the technology now lends itself to long-lasting performance pickleball paddles. Proton prides itself on crafting paddles that stand the test of time—whether you’re using them on day one or three years later, their quality remains uncompromised.

Inspired by his success engineering softball bats and his newfound passion for pickleball, Darling channels his expertise into creating paddles for all playing styles. From nanotech-infused designs to raw carbon surfaces, Proton Sports empowers athletes to choose equipment that fits their game.

With a commitment to innovation and excellence, Proton Sports delivers paddles that inspire confidence, swing after swing.
