PADDLE RATINGS
FRIDAY Aura
Elongated
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
BRAND NEW PROJECT AURA GEN 4 ALL-COURT FULL FOAM PADDLE
The first wave sold out in less than an hour and I was lucky enough to get my hands on one!
This paddle delivered! Don’t break the bank on one of those $300 paddles that goes BOOM! when you can get one of these for just over $100, and is arguably every bit as high quality if not better. For me, there was no adjustment period as I hit all my drives, drops, and dinks with precision, and was able to unlock more topspin and POWER than with my previous paddles. I’m a player who prefers control and precision over power and pace, but was able to do BOTH with this paddle. I was extremely pleased and can’t wait to try out the Hybrid shape in the next shipment wave.
Aura Pro is the high power option: loud, poppy, and explosive, built to drive hard, counter fast, and finish points.
*Aura is the all-court option: soft, forgiving, and made for touch, resets, and shaping the ball with confidence. *This is what I play with, and believe me, there’s plenty of power to go around. I had effortless power compared to my Fever 102 Widebody.
PROS
CONS
- HIGH QUALITY, LOW COST
- Control and dwell time
- Multiple color options
- Effortless Power and Spin
- Slight loss of control compared to widebody paddles
FRIDAY Fever 102
Wide Body
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gen 3 Paddle with ElasTECH Perimeter Weighting for increased power and sweet spot stability.
This is a fantastic paddle, very well-designed, and does everything the expensive paddles do at a fraction of the cost! I switched to Friday because I was looking for a paddle with excellent control without sacrificing power and spin, and landed on the Fever 102 Wide Body and was not disappointed.
FRIDAY was founded by pickleball enthusiasts who wanted to see if they could deliver a pro-grade paddle at a fraction of the price. Check them out because they have something for everyone from beginners to Pros!
PROS
CONS
- HIGH QUALITY, LOW COST
- Control and dwell time
- Multiple color options
- Slight loss in power and topspin, but only noticeable when playing singles. In doubles, I prefer placement over power.
