Phúc Huỳnh Named Brand Ambassador for Zocker Pickleball Paddles, Launches the Aspire Series

In a bold move that cements its commitment to the fast-growing sport of pickleball, Vietnamese sports brand Zocker has officially announced Huỳnh Thiên Phúc – known widely as Phúc Huỳnh, Asia’s No.1 men’s singles pickleball player – as its newest brand ambassador. The announcement was made during a press conference held at Hanoi’s Grand Plaza Hotel on March 21, and it marks a major milestone in Vietnam’s pickleball journey.

A Champion Joins Forces with a Visionary Brand

Currently reigning at the top of Asia’s pickleball rankings, Phúc Huỳnh has become a household name in the regional pickleball community thanks to his explosive court presence and consistent tournament success. Now, his partnership with Zocker is set to elevate not just the brand, but the sport itself.

"Zocker is proud to partner with Phúc Huỳnh, whose exceptional skills and dedication to the sport align perfectly with our mission to support and promote pickleball in Vietnam and across Asia," the brand declared during the event.

As the face of Zocker’s new Zocker Aspire paddle line, Phúc Huỳnh played a key role in the product’s design, testing, and development. His hands-on involvement ensures that the Aspire paddles reflect the needs of serious athletes while remaining accessible to everyday players.

Introducing the Zocker Aspire – Built by Champions, for Everyone

Designed to deliver elite-level performance, the Zocker Aspire paddle comes in two thickness options – 13.3mm and 16mm – offering versatility to suit a wide range of playing styles. Both models are engineered with a hot-pressed honeycomb core, dual carbon edge layers, and a surface made from T700 Japanese carbon fiber, promising a balance of power, control, and durability.

With Phúc Huỳnh endorsing the product, the Aspire is quickly gaining momentum as the go-to paddle among Vietnamese and regional players. "We wanted to create something that could compete at the highest levels but also feel right in the hands of someone just starting out. I think we’ve achieved that," Phúc Huỳnh shared at the launch.

A Celebration of Vietnam’s Pickleball Stars

The press conference also highlighted Zocker’s broader ambassador program, with appearances by fellow athletes Trương Vinh Hiển and Sophia Huỳnh Trần Ngọc Nhi, who represent Zocker’s line of pickleball balls. A lively panel discussion and fan meet-and-greet rounded out the event, creating an electric atmosphere that reflected the sport’s growing popularity in Vietnam.

Zocker’s Bold Path in Sports Innovation

Founded in 2018, Zocker has grown into one of Vietnam’s most recognized homegrown sports brands. Known for its high-quality soccer shoes, running gear, and now, internationally certified pickleball equipment, Zocker continues to push boundaries. Their paddles and balls meet USAPA standards and have already made appearances at international tournaments, gaining acclaim from both Vietnamese and global players.

This partnership with Phúc Huỳnh symbolizes more than just a marketing move – it’s a rallying cry for the pickleball community in Asia. With top-tier products and elite athletes working together, the sport is poised for exponential growth.

As pickleball continues to surge across Asia, alliances like this one between Zocker and Phúc Huỳnh show that Vietnam isn’t just participating in the movement – it's leading it.
