The Friday Aura Pro Widebody is a 4th-generation pickleball paddle designed to deliver high power, strong pop, and excellent stability. It is part of the Pro lineup, built for a fast, aggressive, 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 creates an ideal balance of control, power, and forgiveness across the entire lineup.
The Aura Pro is the high-power option. It is lively, loud, and explosive. It is designed to increase 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 Widebody shape further enhances the Pro version. It provides a larger hitting surface, which increases forgiveness and confidence on off-center shots. As a result, players can attack more safely while still maintaining strong offensive potential.
The Quad-Foam Core is paired with a raw T700 carbon fiber face. This combination delivers a solid and responsive feel. In addition, it offers strong dwell time, allowing for better precision even in fast and powerful 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 Widebody shape and optimized balance, the Aura Pro Widebody excels at the net. It performs extremely well in fast exchanges and remains highly stable in defensive situations. At the same time, it retains excellent finishing ability.
In summary, the Friday Aura Pro Widebody is a powerful, stable, and forgiving paddle. It is ideal for intermediate to advanced players who want an aggressive but controlled game. It allows players to dictate pace while maintaining strong offensive capabilities.
