The Go-No-Go (GNG) Machine has been named the exclusive on-site paddle deflection testing device for both professional and amateur pickleball by three major organizations: Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR), the United Pickleball Association of America (UPA-A), and Pickleballtournaments.com. This partnership aims to enhance fairness and integrity in the sport by ensuring all paddles meet strict deflection standards during tournaments. The GNG Machine provides fast, reliable pass/fail results in under 60 seconds and will be implemented at top amateur events and clubs starting August 2025, expanding globally to countries including the U.S., Australia, India, and Canada.
DUPR will use the GNG Machine to gather paddle deflection data that supports advanced analytics and player loyalty scoring, while UPA-A will deploy it across premier events such as the Amateur State Championship Series and the Pickleball World Championships. Pickleballtournaments.com will integrate the device into its tournament software to enforce compliance efficiently. This collaboration sets a new global standard for on-site paddle testing, promoting transparency, trust, and competitive integrity in amateur pickleball.
