Friday Aura Elongated vs Selkirk SLK Geo Elongated
Two elongated paddles, side by side. Specs are the published figures; prices are what US stores charged at our latest check, shipping included.
What actually separates them
- Friday Aura Elongated has the thicker core (16 mm against 14 mm). Thicker cores usually feel softer and more controlled; thinner ones give more pop.
- The cores are built differently: Friday Aura Elongated is full foam, Selkirk SLK Geo Elongated is honeycomb. That is usually the difference you feel first on contact.
- Selkirk SLK Geo Elongated has the longer handle (5.8 in against 5.5 in), which matters if you hit two-handed backhands.
