The Friday Aura Widebody is a Gen 4, 16 mm full-foam pickleball paddle with a T700 carbon-fibreglass face and patent-pending ElasTECH perimeter weighting, in the widest, most forgiving of the three Aura shapes. The big 8-inch face gives a huge sweet spot and easy, stable power: ideal for intermediate players who want a soft, control-first paddle that stays steady on off-centre hits.

Overview

The Aura is Friday Pickleball's control-first Gen 4 foam paddle, built to make improving players better, faster. In the widebody shape you get the biggest, most forgiving face of the three Auras: a wide 8-inch profile with a huge sweet spot, a softer quad-foam core for dwell and touch, and the ElasTECH rubber perimeter for stability, behind a T700 carbon-fibreglass (CFC) face that still bites the ball for spin. The choice for players who want easy, stable power and plenty of margin on off-centre hits.

Highlights

  • Widebody shape: wide 8-inch face, biggest sweet spot and most forgiveness of the Aura range
  • T700 carbon-fibreglass (CFC) face: soft, controlled feel with enough texture for spin
  • Quad-foam Gen 4 core: maximum dwell and touch
  • ElasTECH rubber perimeter system: stability and forgiveness on off-centre hits
  • Low-profile edge guard, USAP approved
