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!

Lots of pop

I absolutely love all 3 of my Friday Paddles. The challenger was awesome. My first fever was amazing but my 2nd fever is killer. The "texture" so much more aggressive allowing my spins to be better. I love these Friday paddles

E
E.S.

I loved the paddle so much but sadly my paddle broke. I wasn’t too rough with it either but i started seeing the carbon fiber coming out from the edges and sadly with that everytime I would hit it where it was breaking off, it would be a dead hit and fall off the paddle. Definitely my favorite paddle ive bought but now i had to buy a new one.

Great so far

I’ve played twice with my new Fever Gen 3 paddle. I’m very happy with its performance so far. I definitely felt more in control and consistent during play. Ordering and shipping were seamless.

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!
Heidi 🏓

E.S.

Used this paddle as a secondary and for my friends to use and everyone loves it. Very beginner friendly but for my skill level it was not the best. Still a good all around paddle especially for the price.

The product your company sells is outstanding and I’m completely satisfied and if I ever need a paddle I will be purchasing it through Friday pickle ball

Gen fever + light weight paddles

Have small grip and your handles are too long for me. Tried regripping then paddles become top heavy for me. I think your paddles are great it’s just this older lady with arthritis in hand and wrist. Love your paddles!!

Affordable enough to purchase two! Why wait to order any longer when you can start to enjoy these paddles!
