Origins of the brand
In 2008, Quicksand was created by two semi-professional beach tennis players from Rome who decided to turn their passion into a real job, thus founding a company that markets beach tennis products.
The brand immediately attracted attention thanks to a youthful image and careful graphic design of its products. After a couple of years, Quicksand decided to invest in technology, and the Futura project was born, which definitively opened the doors of the global market to the Roman company.
In 2010, two new partners from Tuscany, who were also involved in the beach tennis sector, joined the company.
Thanks to its anti-vibration rings, the Futura system was the first truly effective system, among other things never before adopted in beach tennis, reducing about 80% of harmful vibrations for players’ joints. This innovation became the company’s turning point, making it attractive in foreign markets as well.
From the first version Futura 1.0, the evolved version of the anti-vibration system 2.0 and 2.1 was also created. Today, the product range includes models with both versions of anti-vibration, as well as rackets with traditional frames.
Always focused on the quality of its products, Quicksand was also the first beach tennis company to certify its game balls at ITF laboratories. This step is also synonymous with quality and technology. Over time, Quicksand balls have become the most appreciated balls by the beach tennis market, becoming the official ball of many of the most important tournaments in Italy and the World over the years, such as: Italian Absolute Championships in various editions, World Individual and Team Championships, European Championships, Pan-American Championships, and the most important International Tournaments in the world.
In 2019, the company also began to take an interest in the Padel sector, which was growing rapidly in Italy. Despite the advent of Covid, in the span of two years, the company developed a collection of Padel rackets, balls, and accessories that found a place in the Italian market with great success. The Futura system already adopted in beach tennis was introduced in the 2023 Padel collection. Once again, the Padel market appreciated Quicksand products for the anti-vibration system. The company decided to continue producing models with the Futura system in Padel in combination with models with traditional international frames.
Quicksand is a company present worldwide, through a network of distributors and retailers, both for Beach Tennis, Padel, and Pickleball, introduced into the product catalog at the end of 2023.
In addition, it sponsors numerous top-level players of different nationalities who are present in the Top Rankings, both male and female, at the pro and under levels for beach tennis and padel.
Through support to sports associations, and collaboration in over 30 countries worldwide thanks to its official distributors and retailers, it contributes to organizing prestigious tournaments around the world.
Since the beginning of 2021, the company has undergone changes, and ownership is now 100% in the hands of three entrepreneurs from Tuscany.
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.
