Zane Navratil and George Wall Bring PPA Star Power to Malaysia with Exclusive Paddletek Showcase

Malaysia’s pickleball community is about to experience one of its biggest pro player activations yet as MyPickleball hosts an exclusive Meet and Play session featuring Zane Navratil and George Wall, pro players of Paddletek.

Taking place on 12 May 2026 from 4:00PM to 6:30PM at Mypickle Lifetime Courts, this event offers Malaysian players direct access to two elite international stars currently touring Asia for the PPA circuit.

A Rare Opportunity to Play Against the Pros

This is not just a meet-and-greet.

Selected players with DUPR ratings between 3.0 and 4.5 will have the opportunity to form doubles teams and challenge Zane and George in a five-point rally mini-game. Handicap scoring based on DUPR levels ensures more balanced competition, giving amateur players a genuine shot at pulling off an upset.

Winners could secure premium rewards including high-performance paddles from Paddletek, ProXR gear, and other exclusive prizes.

For many Malaysian players, this could be the closest they get to testing their game against global level professionals.

Two Ways to Join the Event

Whether you want to watch or compete, the event is open to both spectators and players.

Attend as a Spectator

Registered attendees will get to:

• Watch live exhibition matches featuring Zane and George
• Meet the pros in person
• Take photos and enjoy autograph sessions
• Join lucky draw sessions and door gift giveaways
• Test the latest Paddletek paddles on-site

Attend and Play Doubles

Players with eligible DUPR ratings may also register for the doubles challenge segment.

Selected participants will:

• Play mini games against the pros
• Join with a fixed partner or be randomly paired by organisers
• Compete for exclusive prizes and gear giveaways (Up to 10 paddles & gear to give to winners or best score)

Players must meet the required DUPR rating eligibility, and MyPickleball will contact selected participants directly for confirmation. Pairings and matchups will be determined solely by the organisers.

For those who simply want to attend, watch the exhibition matches, meet the pros, and enjoy the event atmosphere, public registration is also open. Registered attendees will also qualify for lucky draw opportunities.

The Chainsaw Serve Challenge Adds Another Layer

Known internationally for his iconic chainsaw serve, Zane Navratil will also put attendees to the test through a special serve return challenge.

Successfully returning one of pickleball’s most talked-about serves could earn participants additional prizes, while also giving local players firsthand exposure to pro-level shot execution.

This positions the showcase as both a competitive event and a fan-focused brand experience.

Why This Matters for Malaysia

As Malaysia’s pickleball ecosystem grows rapidly, activations like this signal an important shift.

Bringing globally recognised PPA talent directly to local courts helps:

• Elevate player exposure
• Increase equipment accessibility
• Strengthen competitive standards
• Inspire the broader community

MyPickleball’s role as Malaysia’s authorised Paddletek distributor continues to expand beyond retail, actively contributing to ecosystem development through strategic player engagement.

For Malaysia’s pickleball players, 12 May may offer more than just a memorable event, it could be the day they share the court with some of the sport’s best.
