Overview
The Aura Pro Hybrid takes Friday Pickleball's stiffer, more aggressive Gen 4 foam platform and drops it into a hybrid shape — a blend of reach and manoeuvrability that's quicker to the ball and easier to swing than the elongated. A T700 raw carbon face delivers high surface roughness for spin, and the ElasTECH rubber perimeter system adds stability without making the paddle feel dead. Strong value for players who want foam-core feel with a power bias and a more forgiving, balanced swing.
Highlights
- T700 raw carbon face — high surface roughness for consistent ball bite and spin
- ElasTECH rubber perimeter system — adds stability and swing weight; reduces paddle rotation on mishits
- Dual-foam Gen 4 core — softer than thermoformed carbon, with a firm, direct response on drives
- Hybrid shape — balanced reach and manoeuvrability; faster hands at the kitchen than the elongated
- Swing weight 116 — quick enough to flick and reset, stable enough to drive from the baseline
