It comes in elongated, widebody and hybrid shapes, all 16mm thick.

Product details

Friday AURA PRO

A full foam power pickleball paddle designed for players who want bigger drives, stronger serves, and explosive performance without sacrificing feel.

The Friday AURA PRO

You wanna drive? Let's talk.

The Friday AURA offers excellent control and feel, but if you're chasing true power, want to pass opponents from the baseline, win points from serves alone, and still dominate at the kitchen line, then the PRO is the paddle to consider.

The AURA PRO features a new GEN 4 design from FRIDAY with a clear shift towards power and a more aggressive feel.

It still carries FRIDAY's signature focus on balance, sweet spot, and consistency, but everything has been tuned to create a faster, more responsive paddle built for attack.

What you'll notice immediately is how reactive it feels.

There is an added level of pop and speed off the face with more direct feedback, while still maintaining impressive control and predictability.

You can slow the game down when needed, but when you want to attack, the PRO delivers serious power.

Drives feel stronger, counters come off quicker, and finishing points becomes easier.

At the same time, resets, dinks, and placement shots remain highly effective thanks to the forgiving sweet spot and refined construction.

When you slow the game down, the PRO feels smooth and controlled. When you want to accelerate, it's ready to respond.

GEN 4 Power Technology

The face utilises premium T700 Raw Carbon, tuned for faster and more direct feedback while still generating excellent spin.

Underneath sits a Dual EPP Foam Core engineered to feel lively and aggressive while remaining easy to control and highly forgiving.

The paddle sits right on the legal limit for the PB Core test, showcasing its impressive power potential.

FRIDAY further refines the design using the ElasTECH Internal Weighting System, helping stabilise the paddle during high-impact shots and maintaining feel at higher swing speeds.

The frame features a new blow-moulded carbon fibre design with double thermoforming for maximum durability.

Additional foam inserts throughout the paddle help balance power with control.

The AURA PRO has been incredibly well received around the world and sold out rapidly after launch.

If you want a true GEN 4 performance paddle with serious power and the control to back it up, the PRO is for you.
