The Go-No-Go (GNG) Machine was recently named the exclusive on-site paddle deflection testing device for professional and amateur pickleball by DUPR, and the UPA-A.

According to an August 8 press release, DUPR will implement the GNG Machine at its top-tier clubs and sanctioned amateur tournaments.

Deflection data gathered will feed into advanced analytics tools, supporting the creation of loyalty and trust scores for both players and paddle manufacturers.

“We’re proud to announce the GNG Machine as the official and exclusive on-site testing device for DUPR-sanctioned tournaments,” said Tito Machado, CEO of DUPR. “This partnership is about more than just technology, it’s about protecting the integrity of amateur pickleball. With the GNG Machine, we can quickly and accurately ensure every paddle on the court meets deflection standards. Our goal is to create a level playing field where skill, not equipment, determines the outcome.”

The UPA-A will deploy the GNG Machine across its premier events, including the Amateur State Championship Series, the PPA Challenger Series, PPA and MLP events in the United States, Australia and Asia, and the Jenius Bank Pickleball World Championships in Dallas.

“Partnering with GNG Enterprises represents a major leap forward in our mission to ensure fairness and integrity for competitive play in pickleball,” said Jason Aspes, President of UPA-A. “By deploying the GNG Machine for on-site paddle testing, we’re giving players, tournament directors, and fans the confidence that every paddle meets strict performance standards.”

Through these partnerships, the GNG Machine sets a new global standard for on-site compliance testing, enhancing trust, transparency, and fairness across amateur pickleball.

On-site implementation will begin at tournaments in August, expanding across the U.S. and internationally to countries including Australia, India, Malaysia, South Korea, Vietnam, China, and Canada.
