Lightweight / Medium Grip

FRIDAY Fever 101 Pickleball Paddle

The FRIDAY Fever Pickleball Paddle brings a lively, controlled energy to our game, encouraging fast drives, sharp dinks, and pinpoint resets. At 16.5" long, it gives us more reach and whip for aggressive play at the baseline, while its 16mm Dual-Foam Core softens our hands at the kitchen. The Triple-Layer T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face gives the Fever its signature spin and consistency; the kind that makes our topspin volleys dive and our drops dip just over the net.

Compared to the Fever 102, the Fever plays lighter and faster, with a slightly narrower 7.5" profile that slices through the air for extra spin and speed. The Fever 102 offers more stability and forgiveness, but this model is the better choice for players who rely on precision and quick reflexes at the kitchen line.

Key Features:
  • Elongated 16.5” Shape: Adds reach and leverage for extra spin and power from baseline and overhead shots.
  • 16mm Dual-Foam Core: Combines an 8mm celled honeycomb base with foam injection for stability, quietness, and touch.
  • Triple-Layer T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face: Maximizes dwell time and spin for consistent control and durability.
  • 5.5” Long Tennis-Style Grip: Familiar feel for tennis converts, offering comfort and confident wrist action as well as room for two hands. 
  • Balanced Swing Weight (115): Slightly head-heavy design adds plow-through and stability without feeling sluggish.
 
Expert Snapshot Review:
“The Fever hits a sweet spot between control and attack. It’s lighter and whippier than the Fever 102, which gives me faster hands and effortless spin at the net. I love how confidently it responds on third shots.”
