Selkirk Sport has become the Official Ball Partner of the APP Asia Tour, meaning its newly launched S2 Pro ball will be used in competition at tour events around the region.
The agreement was reported by Pickleball News Asia, which said every player taking part in the tour's competitive events will use the S2 Pro.
According to Selkirk, the ball was designed for high-level play and offers a harder feel, a quicker pace and a consistent bounce. The company says it uses a patented 38-hole geodesic construction along with a process it calls True-Round Injection Moulding, which it claims help keep the ball's flight stable and improve its durability during long, demanding rallies.
The deal comes as pickleball continues to expand across Asia, with tournaments such as the APP Asia Tour giving players more opportunities to compete, improve and connect with the wider playing community.
Selkirk said it aims to support that growth and make high-performance equipment more accessible to players in the region. The brand added that it collaborates with local organisers, clubs, athletes and communities to open up opportunities for players of all standards, including through its Tournament Sponsorship Program.
The partnership will also involve fan-facing elements. Selkirk plans to stage activations at upcoming APP Asia Tour tournaments, where spectators and players can take part for a chance to win prizes. Matches will additionally be streamed live on the Selkirk TV app for those unable to attend in person.
No financial details of the agreement or specific tournament dates were included in the report.
