Here's What Happened at the Arronax KVL005 Launch in Malaysia
Andrew LeeOn June 12, Arronax had two of pickleball's biggest names under the same roof: Jack Wong, Hong Kong's PPA #1 Men's Singles player with a DUPR of 5.917, and Zane Ford, PPA Tour medalist and Top 10 Men's Singles pro from the US launched its newest paddle at Dinklab Flagship Store.
Together appeared in Kuala Lumpur, for the official launch of the all-new Arronax KVL005, with 20+ signed players in attendance and a packed house that made clear this was not just another product night.
The Paddle Behind the Night
The KVL005 is Arronax's most technically advanced paddle to date.
Four layers of Toray T800 carbon fiber sit over a foam core construction. Arronax calls it "More Power. More Stability. More Control." On court, it means a stiffer, more responsive face that generates spin without losing drive. The foam core adds pop while keeping a softer feel on dinks and resets.
The KVL005 cleared both USAP Approval and UPA-A Approval in June 2026, making this launch perfectly timed. It is priced at RM999 (down from RM1,499) and available in Black, Aqua, Green, Blue, and Purple at arronax.my.
Two Pros. One Room. One Paddle.
Jack Wong is the current PPA #1 Men's Singles player, sitting at a DUPR of 5.917 and representing Hong Kong on the international circuit. He is one of the sharpest point-builders in the Asian game right now - aggressive at the kitchen, composed under pressure, and the kind of player who makes exhibition matches look easy when they are not.
Zane Ford brings the American game. PPA Tour medalist, Top 10 Men's Singles globally, and part of the Arronax-powered 1-2 finish at the PPA Tour Asia Beijing Open. Ford's style is direct and high-output - the type of player who forces the pace from the first rally.
Both played exhibition matches on the Dinklab courts that night. When two players of this calibre are sharing a floor and trading points, you stop watching the paddle and start watching the game. The crowd stayed the whole time.
Partnership Recognition Day
The evening was not just about the paddle.
Arronax used the launch to formally recognise its dealer network. It is a signal of how seriously Arronax is taking its retail expansion in Malaysia. Building a local distribution network matters when you are trying to put your product in players' hands at scale.
A lucky draw rounded out the night for the community who came through.
What the KVL005 Launch Tells You
All signed players in one room. A USAP-approved flagship paddle. A top-10 global pro on court. Certificate presentations for official dealers. Lucky draw.
That is not how a small brand behaves. That is how a brand that has decided it is ready for the next level operates.
The KVL005 is available now at arronax.my and through Dinklab Flagship Store. If you want to try before you buy, Dinklab is the place to go.
