Rockville, MD (6/27/25) – JOOLA is set to power PPA Tour Asia in 2025 as the Official Equipment Partner, bringing their premium balls, nets, and flooring to every tournament as the sport accelerates its growth across the region.

Building on their early commitment as a Paddle Partner of the UPA Asia Trailblazers Program, JOOLA continues to champion Asian pickleball development from emerging talent to elite competition. Already serving as a official partner for PPA Tour in the USA and Australia, JOOLA now expands their global footprint by supporting Asia's premier professional circuit.

To launch the partnership, the Panas Malaysia Open from July 3-6 will feature an exclusive preview of JOOLA's new HC-40 ball, offering players and fans the first chance to experience this latest innovation. Through a strategic partnership with PickleRoll, JOOLA will also provide the world's leading portable court systems, ensuring optimal playing conditions at PPA Tour Asia venues without dedicated courts.
