Disgusting spin: I don’t know how to explain it but the spin you can get with this is disgusting.. feels really satisfying to hit, and once you spend an hour dialing in the paddle respond, it’s fantastic. So easy to play with. Love it.

Pro Power at budget level price: Playing the Aura Pro completely stock. I wanted to experience exactly what Friday engineered before adding any tape or grips. Coming from my daily driver (the 8.1oz Friday Fever 101 Stealth), the Pro’s stock static weight of 7.8oz was immediately noticeable. It took a couple of games to dial in because this paddle runs hot. Initially, my drives sailed long, my serves pushed the baseline, and my punches flew out with ease. Once you calibrate your swing, it becomes

I was awesome by the Aura Pro...: I first played pickleball 47 years ago, using a wooden paddle. Took it up again 2 years ago. I bought a Vatic Pro, then after 4 months switched to Honolulu J2K. Loved those paddles but retired them when I got my Friday Fever's. Now I am using the Aura and it has changed my game. Both Aura are great, but I just can't put down my Aura Pro. When playing bangers I have confidence in the kitchen blocking drives. My dinking game is more consistent with added power wh

My New Main Paddle: This paddle has so much power my serves are hitting the baseline every time I need them to, but it also allows for so much control and spin. I love my Aura Pro

Great paddle! Strongly recommend.: The Aura Pro earned it's spot as my main the first day I played with it. The excellent dwell and spin allow you to tear into the ball with confidence that you can keep it in. It is on the top end of legal power and has such great touch around the kitchen. This paddle is just as good, if not better, than other paddles selling for twice as much!

Great paddle!: This is an amazing paddle with a lot of pop and power. But it still has control for the soft game as well. I think this is a great paddle for intermediate to advanced players and the price point is perfect.!

Top performance at a great price: Best performance paddle out there - Foam core with a technical twist ! Incredible power, spin, control and touch. Puts my OLD Gen III paddle to shame. I’ve actually had a few people completely miss my serve. Haha. Great paddle, even better price!

Best paddle ever that came along: The Aura Pro is amazing! I have tried the Boomstick and others similar but found the Aura Pro is all that and then some. It is a way better paddle at a great cost savings, so I can play in more tournaments with confidence and be fierce.

Big power with lots of control: I was able to purchase the Aura Pro through their beta testing program and have been playing with it as my primary paddle for 2 months now. This thing is a truly great paddle. The power is top tier. You can definitely feel the trampoline effect when you hit this thing in the sweet spot. It also had great control for drops and dinks. Based on performance alone this paddle is top tier. When you factor in the price point I don't think there is a better paddle out the

The Friday Aura Pro does everything really well. Literally, 9 out of 10 across the board. Everyone who tested this paddle with me highlighted the long dwell time and how "muted" it feels. This means you can really control where your shots go, putting it up there with some of the .css-47vvaw{transition-property:var(--chakra-transition-property-common);transition-duration:var(--chakra-transition-duration-fast);transition-timing-function:var(--chakra-transition-easing-ease-out);cursor:pointer;-w...
