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.

Great 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

Scott S.

Verified Buyer

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!!!

Martha S.

Verified Buyer

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!

Nathan K.

Verified Buyer

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.

Won my first 4.0 Tournament

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.

Everyday’s Friday

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.

Great Paddle! Great Value!

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!

They weren't kidding!!!

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.

Best Customer Service I’ve Ever Received

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!

Just when I didn't think they could get better...

I've purchased the Original, the Challenger and the Fever. All three have exceeded my expectations for various reasons. But I'm going to focus here on the Fever. This new Gen 3 iteration of Friday paddles truly does hit the mark for power and control. My first two thoughts was it has nice pop and it feels buttery smooth. I get great spin, easy resets and when it is time to drive, it delivers a big punch. I recieved an early release of the Fever and have been sharing it with my pickleball friends and every one has said they like it and they will buy one or two. I got to hit with their paddles while they played with mine so I got to try lots of high end 250 dollar paddles, I always felt better coming back to the Fever when they were done playing with it. This paddle not only is "as good" as the big name 250 dollar paddles, I think it is better.

Feliks

It’s very light out of the box, with 3 grams of tungsten tape on the sides and 2-3 weeks of playing for break in period this paddle really comes alive and is an awesome all court leaning power paddle for 100 bucks.
Dinking is effortless, returning shots from transition zone is where this paddle really shines. Deep serves and kill shots are easy to pull off consistently. Looks pretty awesome as well.

Great paddle

I now have 5 Friday paddles in the fam - 2 of the 14mm OGs for my kids that play, a 16mm OG for my wife, and I have both a challenger and recently bought the Fever. Love all of the paddles for what they are and the cost. For the Fever I've added some weight - it plays great, has great spin and control, and enough power. I like it better than my Gen 1 Joola Hyperion and a Selkirk Amped Pro Air. For $100, would buy another in a heartbeat!

Very good paddle

The Fever is a very easy paddle to play with. It has a soft feel, easy to control and a little power when you need it. So far, this has been the only one of two paddles I’ve told people to buy because it’s worth it, Vatic being the other paddle. This paddle has taken the top spot for me to recommend without hesitation. I have many paddles over $200 that play well but can’t justify saying it’s worth buying. You might not like the paddle if you don’t favor elongated paddles, but I will say the sweet spot is fairly large for an elongated paddles and it doesn’t have that still pop that some like. My paddle came with a swing weight of 115. That’s right where my Franklin C45 is at. If they don’t change this formula, it will be the only repeat purchase I will have ever made. This is a good playing paddle and the low cost makes it even better.

Solid paddle

I already owned the regular Friday paddle and I really liked it. I started using the regular after playing with a padlletek4.5 for several years. No adjustment period really except my sweet spot shots went a little farther. Now with the challenger, I haven’t noticed more power so much as more control. Also those little half volleys that would hit the tape now make it over the net. I’m happy.

Love These Paddles❣️

I have been playing with my Friday original paddle for 8 months, I absolutely love the balance of power and control I have with it. I just ordered 2 of the Challenger series and I’m excited to see how I perform with it. I’m from a club of 1200 members and myself and my friend were the first to have them. The buzz has started and all I have to say to anyone who asks is… I Love This Paddle❤️

Love the simple styling and the high performance. I wasn’t a big believer of how much the equipment matters, but once I got my Challenger I was hooked. Awesome control and feel.

Fantastic paddle

I started out with a Selkirk oversized paddle which is a very good paddle. It appears however that the grit is not as robust as the Challenger.
I also like the handle of the Challenger better because it seems more moisture resistant. I jad to leave my Selkirk out overnight to dry and eventually added an overwrap.
I have now played at least 20 games with my new Friday and doubt I will go back to the Selkirk.
It is a myth that a paddle has to be expensive in order to be a quality product.

Impressed

Great paddle. I’m a Selkirk paddle player. When my friend put her Selkirk down after trying out her new Friday paddle, I had to give one a try. I love it and reach for my new Friday paddle first! Two of my other friends are ordering too!
Good job guys!

It's not as lightweight as I thought it would be (8.0 oz) but still feels like it has good swing weight. My other paddle is at 7.5 oz. The Friday paddle has more spin and greater whip. Overall, I prefer it over my Paddletek ALW 14mm.
