Mothership, in partnership with global paddle brand Six Zero, has launched one of the country’s most advanced pickleball ecosystems — blending pro-level facilities, cutting-edge technology, and community-centered play all under one roof.
A New Era for Pickleball in Kuala Lumpur
Located in Jalan Ipoh, the new Mothership complex features:
- International tournament-standard courts
- Pro-grade surfacing and Selkirk nets
- Professional lighting for top-tier visibility
- AI-powered performance analytics
Together, these features create a training hub designed for both elite competition and grassroots development.
“Our partnership with Six Zero is grounded in a shared ambition to raise the bar for pickleball in Malaysia,” said Janet Teo, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Mothership. “We wanted to build a space where every player — from curious beginners to driven competitors — feels supported, challenged, and inspired.”
Where Innovation Meets Performance
Six Zero’s collaboration with Mothership marks a milestone in bringing world-class paddle innovation to Southeast Asia.
The brand introduced two new paddles engineered for precision, balance, and control — now available exclusively at Mothership and Picklefox:
- Black Opal – Features a patent-pending floating solid core, Power Gel layer, and Shock Shield handle for superior feel and dwell time.
- Ruby Pro – Built with a 12-mm cell core, 45-degree aramid fiber layering, and Diamond Tough texture for explosive, tournament-level play.
“This is not just about great courts or high-tech tools,” said Dale Young, Director and Founder of Six Zero Pickleball.
“It’s about creating a space where passion, purpose, and performance come together. Mothership is setting a new pace for the sport in Malaysia, and we’re thrilled to grow the game with them.”
LaunchPad: Malaysia’s First Structured Talent Pathway for Pickleball
One of the standout features of Mothership’s ecosystem is LaunchPad — Malaysia’s first structured pickleball development program. Powered by U Mobile, the initiative provides a data-driven training pathway that helps players grow from grassroots to elite levels.
AI-Driven Coaching Powered by 5G
Through U Mobile’s 5G Office Broadband, LaunchPad offers real-time performance analytics — allowing players to track speed, precision, and progress after every session.
“LaunchPad represents what’s possible when technology meets passion,” said a U Mobile spokesperson. “It’s about nurturing future talent while driving innovation in sports performance.”
Supporting this vision is Leapmotor Malaysia, the official mobility partner of the program. As China’s fastest-growing electric vehicle brand, Leapmotor champions accessible and intelligent innovation — reflected in its smart C10 SUV, designed for those who dare to move forward.
