Skechers has launched its first pickleball paddles in Malaysia, extending a range that until now covered shoes and clothing, Pickleball News Asia reports. The line has three carbon products: the SKX Titans Silver Titanium Carbon at RM309, the SKX Titans 12K Carbon at RM269 and a RM459 bundle with a paddle, three balls and a bag.
The two Titans paddles are sold in selected concept stores and online, while the bundle is only in outlet stores. Two of the paddles are listed as USA Pickleball approved.

A mass-market brand at these prices lowers the cost of a first carbon paddle. Coaches fitting beginners should still check approval listings and let players test weight and grip first.

Ed Ju has warned players about what he believes are counterfeit Life Time pickleballs, The Dink reports. In an Instagram post, he said a ball he switched to mid-session flew off his paddle and resembled an indoor ball, and that his own tests showed a big difference from a genuine one. At $6.50 a ball, he urged extra care with bulk orders.
The Dink notes his account cannot confirm where the balls came from. Fake paddles are already a known problem, and the UPA-A is coordinating a response across the industry.

Ball quality changes how a drill or match plays. Clubs and coaches buying in bulk should order from brands or authorised sellers and test a sample before stocking their courts.

Noé Khlif has been announced as an Arronax signing, according to an October 15 report by Pickleball Actu. The French publication cites Pickle361’s account of the Malaysian paddle brand’s October 11 announcement.
The same report notes that Khlif’s PPA Tour equipment profile still listed JOOLA on October 15. That discrepancy makes the distinction between a reported sponsorship announcement and an updated player listing important. The available coverage does not establish the agreement’s financial value or duration.
Analyse Coachino
Coaches discussing equipment endorsements should separate the reported partnership from paddle suitability and check current product information before advising players.
