The Rise of Daescu & That Special Paddle
Live from Major League Pickleball Atlanta, we sit down with pro-player Andrei Daescu & Charles Darling, CEO of Proton Paddles. We talk about the rise of Proton, what inspired them to jump into paddle technology, and Daescu got connected with them.

Well this is fun timing
Hope all comes out OK for Andrei. He seems like a good, genuine guy.
This was a very different pod than I thought it would be.
“Special paddle” should be in italics in the title.
Do they know and meet the allowable friction limit?
What is his opinion on pine tar?

Hmmm. Hate to see the fine he got but shouldn’t alter things , takes away from his accomplishments
I have both the series 2 and series 3 paddles from Proton and they are really fun to use. I would love to have a series 1 B 11mm or 14 but they are currently unicorns in the paddle world.

Great paddle. Just don't leave it out in the sun or spill Gatorade on it. It's like a Gremlin!
When can we FINALLY buy a proton paddle???

I wanted a Proton Really bad but I am telling the TRUTH.
Hard to buy a paddle when it’s always “sold out”
You guys gotta get Dylan Frasier on the pod, that dude is hilarious.
Back ordered for months along with high swing weight numbers, if they could figure those two out they would dominate the market! Lifetime warranty on the surface and paddle, no one has that!

OH MONTHS wow they should be HONEST!
His paddle didn't have pine tar it had sunscreen and sweat.
Not a fan of having to win on serve. So I can score points without serving the whole game and when I get to 24, I can’t? Makes no sense. I have to wait until my opponent catches up?

There are a few various reasons for it, but I hear you man. It’s a tough thing to get right and maintain the drama. We will talk on next pod
We aren’t going to talk about the alleged substance on the paddle? Keeping it 💯

I just talk fast. Character flaw
It’s called planned obsolescence
Can't even buy this paddle. People are waiting since last year to get a paddle.

Pine tar shortage
Fan of: MLP- have to win on the serve. Extend net width in pro play to challenge and showcase their skill. Innocent until proven guilty.
Having the crowd noise floating in and out is super annoying. Poor choice for a podcast venue.
The proton paddle release has been a debacle

They just sold out so much faster than intended, but they are going to fix it very soon with mass quantity per my sources.
