The Go-No-Go (GNG) Machine has been officially designated as 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, competitive integrity, and data-driven growth in the sport by ensuring all paddles meet strict deflection standards. The GNG Machine provides fast, reliable pass/fail results in under 60 seconds and will be deployed at top-tier clubs and major tournaments globally starting August 2025.
DUPR will use the GNG Machine to gather deflection data that supports advanced analytics and player/paddle manufacturer trust scores, while UPA-A will implement it across premier events such as the Amateur State Championship Series and the Jenius Bank Pickleball World Championships. Pickleballtournaments.com, a leading tournament software platform, will integrate the device to enforce compliance efficiently at thousands of amateur events. This collaboration sets a new global standard for on-site paddle compliance testing, promoting transparency and fairness in pickleball competitions worldwide.
