A Platform for Asia’s Rapid Pickleball Growth

“Pickleball is now one of the fastest-growing sports globally, and Malaysia has emerged as one of Asia’s most dynamic markets,” said Tom Nguyen, CEO of JOOLA APAC.

“The Titans Tour represents a major milestone in bringing the world’s best players closer to fans in the region, while also showcasing JOOLA’s latest innovations, including the Pro V paddle series designed to elevate performance at every level.”

The event underscores Malaysia’s growing role as a key hub in JOOLA’s expansion across Asia.

Pro V Paddle Innovation Takes Centre Stage

Limited-edition Titans Tour paddles will also be available during the event, offering fans a chance to own a piece of the tour.

Beyond the Arena: Community Activation Across Klang Valley

On 8 April, the focus shifts to grassroots development, with players participating in community outreach programmes across eight venues in the Klang Valley.

Fans will have opportunities to:

• Meet international pros up close
