The Friday Aura Pro Elongated is a 4th-generation pickleball paddle designed to deliver high power, strong pop, and elongated reach. It is part of the Pro lineup, built for an aggressive, fast-paced, and point-finishing style of play. Thanks to its fully foam-based construction and patent-pending ElasTech technology, it offers a modern balance of power, stability, and feel.
The Aura and Aura Pro share the same foundation: a Gen 4 full-foam platform built around the ElasTech perimeter weighting system. This system ensures an ideal balance of power, control, and forgiveness.
The Aura Pro is the high-power option. It is loud, lively, and explosive. It is designed to push pace, counter quickly, and finish points with authority. The standard Aura, on the other hand, is more all-court oriented. It is softer, more forgiving, and focused on touch, resets, and controlled point construction.
The elongated shape enhances the offensive character of this version. It provides greater reach and increased leverage on shots. As a result, players can generate more speed and spin while still maintaining a solid level of control. Consequently, this supports a more aggressive and precise playing style.
The Double Foam Core is paired with a raw T700 carbon fiber face. This construction delivers a solid and responsive feel. In addition, it improves dwell time, allowing for better ball control even in fast exchanges.
ElasTech is a proprietary internal weighting system exclusive to Friday paddles. It is positioned between the perimeter foam and the core. As a result, it improves overall stability, expands the sweet spot, and reduces vibrations. It also adds power without fully sacrificing control or touch.
Thanks to its elongated shape and optimized balance, the Aura Pro Elongated excels in offensive situations. It is ideal for players who like to attack, take initiative, and dictate the pace of the game.
