Thank You, Tina — A Chapter We’ll Always Be Proud Of

Over the past year, Tina Pisnik has been an important part of the Warping Point journey.

 

In March 2025, the names Waping Point and Tina Pisnik appeared side by side for the first time. As our first officially signed athlete, she held up our first flag of professionalism with unreserved trust.

From the early days of our global launch to competing on the PPA Tour, she has helped bring our brand to life on the court. Her on-court performance, professionalism, and personal presence have played a pivotal role in introducing the Warping Point brand to players around the world.

 

Tina Pisnik × PPA Pickleball Tour

 

From a tennis player representing Slovenia to a two-time Olympian,

From a career-threatening car crash to finding herself again on the pickleball court—

 

you etched “Still I Rise” on your ankle, and into every swing.

 

Together, we created the Phoenix paddle—a product deeply shaped by your playing style and constant feedback.

It stands as a testament to an authentic chapter for both of us: one of growth, learning, and pushing limits. Over the past year, you carried this belief to remarkable success on the PPA Tour:

 

Top 5 world ranking, Masters medals, surging DUPR ratings…

 

You have shown with results that true strength is not about never falling,

but about rising stronger and taller every time you do.

Thank you for living and embodying the meaning of:

“Still I Rise.”

 

Tina x Phoenix Signature Paddle

 

You did not just play for us — you helped define what we stand for, as a true co-creator of the Phoenix “Rising Phoenix” series.

 

From product design in the lab to on-court shot after shot of real-world testing, you poured your relentless pursuit of speed, spin, and feel into this paddle, holding nothing back.

 

Warping Point — Official Paddle Partner

 

Today, Phoenix stands as Warping Point’s flagship line: UPA-A certified, competing on the PPA Tour, and trusted by countless pickleball players around the world. And it all began with those simple words from you: “Let’s give this a try together.”

 

As our formal partnership comes to an end, we want to say one simple thing:

We’re proud of what we built together, and grateful for the role Tina played in our story.

 

This was a true win-win. Together, we created a paddle that has stood the test of the professional tour — and together, we brought the name of Warping Point to a wider world.

 

Beyond the on-court glory, it is the moments off the court that we will always cherish: the sincerity with which you patiently replied to fans’ messages, the focus you brought to demonstrating technical details in training videos, and the passion you showed when promoting Phoenix… You were not only a top-tier athlete, but also a true brand partner. And while we move forward on different paths, the respect and appreciation remain.

 

Tina 2025, Beyond the Court

 

Once part of the journey. Always part of the story.

 

To Next Dimension — this is our brand motto, and also our sincere wish for you:

May you always have the courage and ability to rise to higher dimensions. May we both continue to climb our own paths, until we meet again at the summit.

 

Thank you, Tina Pisnik.

 

Still I Rise.

To Next Dimension — we rise, together.
