Built for your first year

The ORIGINAL paddle from FRIDAY is one their first innovations, with over 100,000 satisfied players to date. It's the perfect paddle for a beginner, someone just learning the game and wants something easy to use but still has some grunt. It's light, so your arm doesn't get tired. It's super forgiving, so off-centre hits still go where you meant. And the sweet spot is generous, so you spend your energy learning the game, not fighting your paddle. When your game outgrows it, you can look at the AURA range or the 102.

The Original

Friday Original is the perfect beginner pickleball paddle, trusted by over 100,000 players worldwide. Forgiving, easy to use, and packed with genuine performance, perfect for anyone starting out or looking to upgrade from a cheap paddle.

A light, balanced paddle that's forgiving on mishits and comfortable for long social sessions. No harsh vibrations, no heavy swing, just a paddle that lets you learn fast and have fun doing it. It comes in four colourways: Ghostly Haze, Sunset Noir, Cotton Candy and Blue Sky, so it looks as good as it plays. If you're buying your first paddle, or a spare for friends and family who keep borrowing yours, this is the one. And when you're ready to level up, the rest of the Friday range is waiting.

ElasTECH perimeter weighting

ElasTECH is a first of its kind internal perimeter weighting system unique to Friday paddles. It's what gives the Gen 4 Project AURA paddles and the Gen 3 Fever 102 such a unique, buttery feel. The ElasTECH layer sits between the perimeter foam and the core, and it does three things at once: a larger sweet spot, more stability when you get caught off-centre, and more power. All without sacrificing feel and dwell.

Every Friday paddle comes with a 6 month warranty. It covers manufacturer defects that are easily visible from a picture or video, things like core crush, delamination and broken handles. Normal wear like scuffs, scratches and worn grips isn't covered, and neither is damage from abuse (paddles don't love being thrown). Claims are easy, just send us a photo or short video and we'll sort out a replacement. Handled by us here in Melbourne.
