RPM Pickleball, a performance-driven pickleball brand built by professional athletes and engineers, officially launches in the Philippines, marking a major step in its global expansion and strengthening its presence in one of the sport’s fastest-growing markets.
Co-founder James Ignatowich is in Manila April 11–12, 2026 to headline the launch, coinciding with Leg 1 of the SM Pickleball SuperSeries 2026 at SM North EDSA Atrium. His visit gives Filipino players and fans a rare opportunity to connect with one of the sport’s most exciting talents—known not just for his competitive success, but for his hands-on role in shaping next-generation paddle technology.
Engineered with a deep focus on spin, control, and power, RPM paddles are developed through direct collaboration with elite players, delivering equipment designed to meet the demands of modern, high-level play. The brand’s entry into the Philippines comes at a time of rapid growth for pickleball locally, as more communities, courts, and competitive events continue to emerge nationwide.
“The Philippines is one of the most exciting places for pickleball right now. The passion from the community is real, and we’re excited to be here not just to launch RPM, but to be part of how the sport continues to grow. Our goal is to give players access to equipment that truly elevates their game,” said James Ignatowich.
The launch is anchored within the SM Pickleball SuperSeries, reinforcing RPM’s commitment to embedding itself within the local pickleball ecosystem—supporting both grassroots participation and competitive play.
RPM Pickleball will be exclusively distributed in the Philippines by Quorum International Inc. and is now available in select Toby’s Sports stores, making its line of high-performance paddles and gear accessible to Filipino players.
