Friday Pickleball is a newer brand focused on making high-performance paddles more accessible. Their mission is simple: pro-grade gear at budget-friendly prices. Founded by three players—Scott, Jake, and Isaac—who were tired of overpriced paddles, Friday delivers thermoformed carbon fiber builds with gritty surfaces, generous sweet spots, and USA Pickleball approval, all at a fraction of what many big brands charge.
Their vibe is casual, fun-first, and inclusive—but the paddles are legit. Friday’s already been used to win gold medals, but they’re just as committed to keeping the game lighthearted. They back everything with a 99-day happiness guarantee and solid customer support.
The Friday Fever is a 16mm raw carbon fiber paddle using a triple-layer T700 face and a Gen 3 build with structural reinforcements aimed at extending durability and resisting core deformation. It’s PBCoR .43 certified and designed for players who want a control-oriented Gen 3 option without sacrificing spin or power. The paddle delivers high dwell time, efficient spin generation, and a balanced feel during resets and drives. Offered at $99, it is positioned as an accessible alternative to premium Gen 3 paddles priced nearly twice as high, without major tradeoffs in performance.
