JOOLA PPA Tour Asia Partnership: JOOLA will become the Official Equipment Partner for the PPA Tour Asia in 2025. This means all tournaments will use JOOLA’s professional balls, nets, and flooring. The partnership begins with the Panas Malaysia Open from July 3–6, where players will try the new JOOLA HC-40 ball for the first time.
A Strong Start in Malaysia
To launch the partnership, the Panas Malaysia Open will offer an early look at the JOOLA HC-40 ball. This event gives players and fans a chance to see how the new ball performs in real matches.
Tom Nguyen, Chief Executive Officer of JOOLA Asia Pacific, shared,
“To launch the partnership, the Panas Malaysia Open from July 3–6 will feature an exclusive preview of the new JOOLA HC-40 ball, offering players and fans the first chance to experience this latest innovation in hard court ball performance.”
Building on Past Efforts
JOOLA already works with the PPA Tour in the United States and Australia. It has also supported the UPA Asia Trailblazers Program, which helps grow pickleball across Asia. This latest move shows JOOLA’s focus on making the sport bigger in the region.
Kimberly Koh, Managing Director of UPA Asia, said,
“JOOLA’s sustained support – from backing the Trailblazers to now equipping the tour – shows their long-term vision for Asian pickleball. Having consistent, world-class equipment across all our events elevates the competitive standard and establishes PPA Tour Asia as the region’s definitive professional stage.”
Raising the Competition Level
PPA Tour Asia has three types of tournaments: Slam, Cup, and Open events. Players will collect points at each event to climb the PPA Tour Asia Rankings. The goal is to earn the No.1 spot by the end of the season.
With the help of PickleRoll, JOOLA will bring top-quality portable courts to every venue. This ensures that even locations without permanent courts will meet high standards.
Why This Partnership Matters
By supporting PPA Tour Asia, JOOLA is helping pickleball grow faster in Asia. Players will now compete with the same equipment used by top professionals worldwide. This partnership sets a higher bar for tournaments and creates better playing conditions for everyone involved.
