Friday Aura | GEN 4 Control Pickleball Paddle

Friday AURA

A GEN 4, full foam pickleball paddle designed for all-court play.

Incredible feel, easy to use and has maximum durability with fantastic performance.

Perfect for beginners or pros.

The Friday AURA

The AURA is a really well balanced pickleball paddle, with the new signature optimised GEN 4 technology from FRIDAY.

It has a clear focus on feel, control, sweet spot and consistency and is a true all-court paddle that elevates any skill level.

What really stands out with the AURA is just how easy it is to play with.

From the first few hits, you'll notice how controlled, stable and predictable it feels.

Every shot feels soft with a clean response off the face.

It leans more towards control, but it's not dull. There's a nice amount of pop to help elevate your game and keep you competitive, with power that remains highly usable.

Resets feel controlled, drops are clean, and your kitchen game slows down and becomes effortless.

The sweet spot is noticeably forgiving across the face, even on off-centre contact.

This paddle consistently delivers reliable results and makes a massive difference during longer rallies under pressure.

GEN 4 Technology

The face utilises raw T700 carbon, offering excellent dwell time and impressive spin generation.

The AURA uses a new optimised EPP foam core, which provides a more consistent feel, absorbs vibration, smooths out contact, and makes the paddle significantly more forgiving.

Around the perimeter, the new ElasTECH internal perimeter weighting system increases forgiveness, enlarges the sweet spot, and improves shock and vibration dampening.

This is a true GEN 4 paddle at the forefront of paddle technology.

Project AURA has become a global success, selling out multiple times shortly after launch in the United States.

If you want to control the game, slow it down on your terms, and feel completely comfortable, the AURA is the control paddle for you.
