FEVER REVIEWS
The hype is real.
The perfect blend of spin, control, pop, and power
It’s truly rare to find a paddle that can do everything, but the Fever does it. There isn’t a single shot on court that I don’t feel comfortable hitting with the Fever in my hands. It is THE shot maker's paddle. This paddle absolutely can compete and win at the highest levels of the sport.

Perfect amount of power and don't even get me started on the spin.
The Fever gives me plenty of power that I need on counter attacks so that I can put balls away without me having to worry about too much power. It’s the best paddle I’ve ever used. The dwell time is unmatched and the grit has opened up angles on the court that I’ve never been able to hit until now.

Insane dwell time. I can put the ball anywhere.
I had never found a paddle where I truly felt like I could hit the exact shot I wanted to. Once I got a Fever in my hands that all changed. I can generate lots of spin, get effortless power, and reset the ball from anywhere on the court. I’ve used countless paddles over the years and I’ve finally found the one. The Friday Fever is the best of the best.

Blends power and pop with effortless control
I always thought that control and power were antithetical until I played with the Fever. I’m putting more balls away than ever while also hitting more resets than ever. It’s the perfect paddle.

15-Match Win Streak Activated
My partner and I won 15 matches straight playing with Fevers a few weeks ago. I'm not kidding when I say this is the best paddle I've ever used.

Completely changed my game
From my second session playing with the Fever, I felt my game completely change. My drives are way stronger, I'm hitting drops and resets that I've never been able to hit, and I have SO much more finishing power to put away shots.

Challenger vs. Original vs. Lightweight Paddles
While all of our paddles are Carbon Fiber, the Challenger features a Double Layer T700 Raw Carbon Fiber surface for enhanced durability and increased spin.
The Lightweight Paddle is a 14mm version of our Original Paddle for players looking for a lighter, faster touch without sacrificing power.
Round Top vs. Flat Top
The specs between our round and flat top paddles are nearly the same! The flat top provides slightly more coverage with a wider surface area and has an EVA foam injected grip.
FEEL THE FEVER
FEVER VS. GEN 3
Gen 3 paddles brought the power. The Fever brings everything else.
We took the explosive performance of Gen 3 and reengineered it for the modern game — adding more control, more spin, and serious durability upgrades. All for under $200.

FEVER DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Product R&D isn’t just part of what we do — it’s the engine behind everything we release. The Fever marks our first next-generation paddle in over a year, and we approached it with the same intensity that you’d expect from a high-stakes engineering lab.
Here’s how eight months of obsessive testing, data gathering, and iteration brought the Fever to life.
Friday Labs
The Problem
The Challenger launched to overwhelming enthusiasm last March — a raw carbon fiber workhorse that delivered elite performance at an accessible price. But we wanted more.
Could we deliver the explosive power of next-gen paddles without compromising control? Could we boost pop and spin while maintaining precision? That tension — between raw force and elite control — became our design North Star.
The Process
Over eight months, we prototyped and tested over 80 paddle configurations across materials, constructions, and surface technologies. Some prototypes were radically different; others tested 2–3% shifts in core density or face composition.
Every version faced the same gauntlet: hours of competitive play, lab-based durability stress tests, and player feedback loops focused on measurable performance data. We weren’t looking for good. We were looking for perfect.
The Final Four
From dozens of candidates, four paddles emerged. Each shared the same DNA — Gen 3 power with uncompromising control — but with subtle distinctions. We submitted all four for USAP approval.
When the last paddle we developed earned PBCoR .43 certification, confirming it met the highest standard of control under pressure, we knew we’d found it. The final spec wasn’t an accident. It was the product of iteration, refinement, and precision.
The Fever
The buzz inside Friday Labs is real. This paddle hits different — powerful when you need it, dialed when it matters most. The tech is ready and feel is unmistakable. We built the Fever for you — and now, it's ready to take over.
