PPA Tour Asia announces LT Pro 48 as official ball

PPA Tour Asia announced Monday afternoon that Life Time’s LT Pro 48 will be the official ball of the tour moving forward.

 

This comes as welcome news for the US-based pros who frequently compete overseas, as the PPA Tour and PPA Tour Asia will now use the same ball.

PPA Tour Asia events have traditionally used JOOLA’s HC-40, which plays noticeably slower than the LT Pro 48.

Now, the equipment will be consistent at the events across the two continents.

After a memorable event last week in Shenzhen, China, the PPA Tour Asia season will continue with the Leapmotor Kuala Lumpur Cup in September and the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam in October.
