Origins of the brand

Founded in 2008 by the initiative of two semi-professional beach tennis players, Quicksand was born with the goal of transforming a genuine passion into a solid, performance-oriented business project. Since its origins, the brand has been distinguished by a youthful identity, thoughtful design, and a strong focus on quality materials and product functionality.

Over the years, Quicksand has embarked on a path of steady growth, investing in research and development and gradually establishing itself on the national and international scene. A key step in this evolution was the launch of the Futura project, a proprietary technology that opened the doors to the global market for the company and redefined standards of comfort and playability in beach tennis.

Thanks to the Futura Antivibration System, Quicksand was among the first in the industry to introduce a truly effective solution for reducing harmful vibrations, capable of absorbing up to 80 percent of them before they reach the athlete’s handle and joints. From Futura 1.0 to the evolved 2.0 and 2.1 versions, the technology has been constantly refined and is now also joined by models with traditional frames to meet different playing needs.

Always focused on certified quality, Quicksand was also the first beach tennis company to certify its balls at the ITF laboratories (2009), a step that helped strengthen the brand’s reliability and prestige. Over time, Quicksand balls have become a reference for the market, being chosen as the official ball in numerous national and international tournaments, including Italian, European, World and Pan American championships.

In 2019, the company expanded its horizon by entering the Padel sector, developing in just a few years a complete collection of rackets, balls, and accessories, which was received with great interest by the market. Here, too, the Futura System was successfully integrated, confirming the technical and prevention-oriented approach that characterizes Quicksand’s DNA. At the end of 2023, the catalog was further expanded with the introduction of Pickleball, reinforcing an evolving multisport vision.

Since 2021 Quicksand has been led by three Tuscan entrepreneurs, who have taken up the brand’s legacy by launching a new phase of development, based on a modern, dynamic and future-oriented vision. Today, the company is present in more than 30 countries through an international network of official distributors and retailers and supports numerous high-level athletes, present in the professional rankings and as well as athletes and female athletes of all age facets of competitive and youth levels. It also collaborates with numerous coaches , both men’s and women’s.

Quality, innovation and attention to detail drive every design choice-from materials to frame geometries to the development of accessories and balls designed to elevate the playing experience. Quicksand continues to invest in technology and design to offer reliable, high-performance, and recognizable equipment, with the goal of accompanying athletes and fans in the continuing evolution of the sport.

Beach tennis and Padel at the highest levels

Performance and reliability from the first to the last shot

Superior Technology

As our patents demonstrate, Quicksand is at the forefront of research into materials and the functional design of rackets. That’s why during the game you get less stress on your wrist and you have perfect control even on the most powerful rackets!

Easy handling

A famous advertising read “Power is nothing without control”, nothing more true, especially in a sport where even the smallest variation in the angle of impact is decisive. Choose the balanced racket for your style of play!

Lightness

The weight of the racket is decisive for the power impressed on the ball, it is simple physics … Unless the internal and external structure of the frame is designed by Quicksand to give maximum kinetic energy to the ball!

Stability

Without a stable racket, part of the energy is dispersed in the form of involuntary vibrations or bending, losing power and stressing the hand, wrist and forearm. If you have not tried Futura 2.0 technology you do not know what stability is!

Futura 1.0 and Futura 2.0, 2.1 Antivibration System

The Futura system is a device specifically designed for beach tennis rackets and has also been adopted for padel rackets.

It significantly reduces the vibrations caused by continuous impacts with the ball, preventing joint injuries to the wrist, elbow, and shoulder while maintaining a high level of playability for the racket itself.

There are two key features of this system: the profile of the racket increases from the usual 20mm to 26mm in beach tennis and 38mm in padel, and the second, more significant feature, is the insertion of a ring transformed into a slot for the second series inside the arms that form the core of the racket.

The vibrations traveling from the racket face toward the handle must necessarily pass through these two channels, with the ring hole dispersing the vibrations so they don’t reach the handle and, in turn, the player’s joints.

In the 2024 collection, the Futura System, in its 1.0, 2.0, and 2.1 versions for beach tennis, is used in the Silver Club, GoldClub, Dark Hole, Nolook Black, Ninja, and Nolook Classic models, while for Padel, the antivibration system has been adopted for the Silverpadel 12k and Silverpadel 3k models.
