Anna Leigh Waters' exhibition at 91 Pickleball in Petaling Jaya on October 17 left many fans unhappy, Pickleball News Asia reports. Attendees complained that the event was oversold, with a packed venue, long queues and little time with the world No. 1. One fan said she and her partner paid RM1,300 each for VIP packages and still had nowhere to sit.
Franklin Malaysia apologised the following day and promised a dedicated contact channel for affected ticket holders, but gave no timeline, described no remedy and did not respond to refund demands.

Star appearances can win new fans or sour them. Clubs hosting big names should cap ticket sales at real capacity and promise only the access they can deliver.

Anna Leigh Waters has released a full commercial for L'Oreal Paris, where she is an ambassador for the Elvive Glycolic + Gloss range, Pickleball.com's Victoria Radnothy writes. The polished spot, posted on Instagram, follows lighter content she had made for the brand.
The column argues that the 19-year-old's sponsor list, which also includes Delta Airlines and a pet medicine company, goes far beyond the single paddle deal most pros rely on. Waters has already appeared on billboards in Times Square.

Mainstream sponsors show that top players can earn well beyond prize money. For aspiring pros, a consistent public profile is becoming part of the job rather than an extra.

Zane Navratil has come out against any UPA rule limiting taunting or screaming, Pickleball.com reports. In an Instagram post, the pro said players should be free to show emotion and leave it to fans and social media to decide who has gone too far, adding that indifference harms the sport more than noise does.
He pointed to the NFL's unpopular taunting rule and to the UFC's trash talk, and described pros as entertainers rather than role models. Navratil also admitted regretting his own outburst at the MLP Playoffs.

Whatever the tour decides, juniors copy what they watch. Coaches can set their own standards for celebrations and respect, separate from what entertains a television audience.

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.
