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 during tournaments. The GNG Machine provides fast, reliable pass/fail results in under 60 seconds and will be deployed at top-tier amateur events and clubs globally starting August 2025, including tournaments in the U.S., Australia, India, and Canada.
DUPR will integrate the GNG Machine data into its rating analytics to build trust scores for players and manufacturers, while UPA-A will use the device across premier events such as the Amateur State Championship Series and the Jenius Bank Pickleball World Championships. Pickleballtournaments.com will also enforce paddle compliance through this technology, strengthening event credibility. Developed by GNG Enterprises, the machine aligns with professional standards and represents a significant step forward in maintaining equipment compliance and ensuring that skill remains the primary factor in competitive pickleball outcomes.
