The Philippines is making waves in the global pickleball scene, thanks to TecniQ Sports—the country’s first homegrown pickleball brand and manufacturer. Based in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila, TecniQ Sports has officially added three more paddles to its lineup of USA Pickleball-approved gear: Introplay, Tourplay, and Pro-Armor.
