Phoenix for the Modern Game: Control That Attacks
Fresh off the courts at the 2025 PPA Veolia Lakeland Open, brand ambassador Tina Pisnik debuted the paddle behind her podium performance: the all-new Phoenix.
Developed in collaboration with Tina and tested under real tournament pressure, Phoenix delivers elite-level control, acceleration, and stability—ideal for players who want to stay aggressive without losing soft-hand precision.
Engineered for the Modern Game
Today’s pickleball requires strategic touch in the kitchen, reliability in transition, and sharpness in high-speed rallies. Phoenix was engineered around one mission:
Stay aggressive — without losing soft hands.
Key innovations include:
-
- PowerDrive System™ Core: Maximizes energy transfer for increased ball speed with reduced swing effort.
- Carbon Fiber + PTFE Composite Face: PTFE softens impact for clean resets and dinks, while carbon fiber provides drive stability and precise shot shaping.
- Optimized Sweet Spot: Wider and more forgiving, especially during fast exchanges in the non-volley zone.
Every Phoenix paddle completed a durability evaluation of 5,000 consecutive strikes at 80 km/h—designed to simulate months of competitive play and maintain consistent feel from first serve to match point.
Inspired by Resilience: Tina Pisnik’s 'Still I Rise'
A former WTA Top-30 tennis player and two-time Olympian, Tina’s career pivot began after a serious car accident forced an early end to her professional tennis career. Instead of stepping away from competition, she turned to pickleball—quickly rising through the professional ranks.
Her motto, 'Still I Rise,' reflects her discipline and composure in high-intensity situations.
'Phoenix gives me the soft-touch control I need in the kitchen, but still has enough acceleration to attack off a reset,' says Tina.
Competitive Debut: Women’s Doubles Bronze at PPA Lakeland 2025
Phoenix made its professional debut with immediate results.
At the 2025 PPA Veolia Lakeland Open, Tina and partner Kate Fahey battled through a highly competitive draw to claim the Women’s Doubles Bronze Medal—marking the first sanctioned podium finish for the Phoenix series.
'Seeing Phoenix perform at this level right out of the gate validated every decision we made in development,' said the Warping Point engineering team.
