Friday Fever 102 Paddle

I have barely been playing pickleball for 3 months, and I own four challenger line paddles. The paddles are a great bang for the buck performance! For winning my first 4.0 tournament, I was given a Ben Johns Perseus 3 for winning gold. I wouldn't trade these paddles for the Ben Johns paddle, as I find those are overpriced... Sorry, Ben Johns Perseus 3, you will be getting sold.

I love my Friday pickleball paddles. I’ve held and used my friends much costlier paddles (no names necessary, you know who they are) and I really couldn’t feel a difference. I don’t know if these compare to the paddles the 5.0’s & 6.0’s use, but for me and my pickleball buddies, Friday paddles perform just as good as theirs. Two 👍🏻’s up.

I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered 2 of the Friday paddles to add to my collection of paddles I provide for my beginner students. I played one morning with the Friday paddle and immediately noticed the fabulous pop! I was able to generate more power with this paddle than with a much more expensive, well-known paddle. It also has a good grit surface to help with spin. I would seriously suggest people try these paddles today!

If you're skeptical about this paddle, worry no longer! It's not too good to be true. I've been using a Selkirk paddle for months that I borrow because I'm not spending $200+ on a paddle. I received the Phoenix Challenger paddle from Friday for free from their weekly video giveaways (Make sure to check out their awesome videos btw). I absolutely love this thing! And it feels just as good as the Selkirk Vanguard Pro - Epic. The design looks great, the grit works great for spin, and it has the sweet spot and control that every player needs. This first paddle may have been free, but Friday has made a future customer out of me.

Wow! I can’t give enough praises to this company! Not only do I absolutely love playing with their paddles (I have both an original and a challenger, and my wife has an original as well), but their customer service is better than any company I’ve ever dealt with, and not just limited to pickleball companies. I had an issue with a product that I received and their customer support representative completely corrected the situation within a few days, even responding to emails over the weekend. Their customer support alone is enough for me to give this company a 5 star review. On top of that, the difference between other budget paddles and the original Friday paddle is night and day. I noticed an immediate difference in pop as well as control. The feel and touch their paddles give is way above what these paddles cost. I always recommend Friday paddles to anyone I know that’s looking for a new paddle, and everyone that has borrowed one of my paddles has been sold on them within a few points of a game. I’m very grateful to have heard about this company from their YouTube channel and look forward to seeing more and more Friday paddles out on the courts!
