The Friday Aura Hybrid has a hybrid shape, Gen 4 Diving Board construction, a 16 mm EPP foam core and a textured carbon fiber face. The flexible structure increases ball contact time, for more control without losing pop, and the foam absorbs vibration and pace on resets, keeping the return on drives. It measures 16.3 x 7.7 in and weighs 7.9 oz on average, with a sweet spot optimized by the hybrid shape.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%66
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
