Friday Aura Review: Control Paddles for Consistent All-Court Players

The Friday Aura sits below the Aura Pro in the lineup — a more accessible price ($129) with a control focus. Both elongated and hybrid shapes give players options without breaking the bank.

Specs

  • Core: 16mm
  • Elongated — SW: 114.73, TW: 5.64, 8.0 oz
  • Hybrid — SW: 108.60, TW: 5.91, 7.6 oz
  • Price: $129 — save $10 with code PLAYBOOK

Control Feel

The Aura's 16mm core is soft and touch-oriented. At the kitchen, resets and drops come naturally. The hybrid's low SW of 108.60 keeps it maneuverable for quick exchanges. Neither shape will punish attackers, but they reward players who work on placement and consistency.

Verdict

The Friday Aura is a no-frills control paddle that does what it says it does. At $129 with $10 off using PLAYBOOK, it's an excellent choice for beginners and consistent mid-level players who don't want to overspend.
