Overview
The Aura is Friday Pickleball's control-first Gen 4 foam paddle, built to make improving players better, faster. In the hybrid shape you get an easy-swinging, manoeuvrable platform with loads of feel: a softer quad-foam core for dwell and touch, wrapped in the ElasTECH rubber perimeter for stability, behind a T700 carbon-fibreglass (CFC) face that still bites the ball for spin. The all-court choice for players who value placement, resets and quick hands at the kitchen over raw power.
Highlights
- T700 carbon-fibreglass (CFC) face: soft, controlled feel with enough texture for spin
- Quad-foam Gen 4 core: maximum dwell and touch; "more feel than any other Gen 4"
- ElasTECH rubber perimeter system: stability and forgiveness on off-centre hits
- Hybrid shape: manoeuvrable and balanced; fast hands at the net
- Swing weight 116: easy to swing and stable through the ball
