FRIDAY Fever 102 Elongated 16mm Pickleball Paddle

The FRIDAY Fever 102 Elongated is a 16mm paddle built around a high spin raw carbon face and a stability focused core package. The triple layer T700 raw carbon fiber surface is tuned for grip on the ball, and the 2150 RPM rating points to strong friction for shaping topspin drives, rolling thirds, and crisp winners. Inside, the smaller 8mm cell honeycomb core packs more of a punch than the 10mm celled core in the widebody, while pairing effortlessly with the dual foam technology and ElasTECH Perimeter Weighting System to reinforce the frame and steady the face, especially when contact drifts toward the edges.

At 16.5" long with a 5.5" handle, the Fever 102 Elongated gives you extra reach and leverage while keeping the response predictable. The 118-swing weight adds some momentum through the ball for putaways and heavier drives, while the 6.4 twist weight proves to balance the reach of an elongated shape with torsional stability.
