Quality and value
I've got a dozen or so "good" paddles ranging from $79 to $199 retail... Best value on the market in my opinion, and plays like a $200 Joola or Selkirk.

Paddle
I’ve played with my $250 Joola paddle for about a year and a half and really liked it but wanted to have a spare. Found your ad on Facebook and decided to take a chance for the price. Loved the paddle so far and everything about it matches up to my Joola

Power and Touch, felt great!
I’ve been playing with the Joola Hyperion Ben John’s pro series and this felt a little more powerful, but with more control than expected! Loved the handle...Really am pleased!!!

Very Impressed!
I've been using a high end Joola for about a year, and I love it! I purchased two Friday paddles and honestly like them as much as the Joola. It's great to have a more reasonably priced alternative!

Holy Cow
I've played with Selkirk, Diadem, and Joola, and I think Friday paddles are just a good as the top name brand models. I'm very happy with them.
