About

In 2008, Quicksand was set up by two semi-professional players who decided to transform their unbridled passion into a real job, thus founding a company that markets beach tennis products. The brand garnered instant appeal thanks to its youthful image and the meticulous graphic design of its products. After a couple of years, Quicksand decided to invest in technology, and the Futura project was born, opening the doors to the world market for the Roman company. In 2010, two new Tuscan partners joined the company, from Grosseto to be precise, and within a few years, administration and logistics moved to Grosseto. Thanks to its anti-vibration rings, Futura is the first truly effective system ever adopted in Beach tennis, reducing harmful vibrations for players’ joints by almost 80% – a huge success. From the first Futura 1.0 version, the evolved version of the 2.0. and 2.1 anti-vibration system was also created. Today, the product range includes models with both versions, as well as traditional rackets. Always attentive to the quality of its products, Quicksand is also the first company to certify its proprietary game balls at the ITF laboratories. Synonymous with quality and technology, they have become the most popular balls on the market and, over the years, have become the official ball of the most important tournaments in Italy and around the world, to name a few: various editions of the Italian National Championships, Individual and Team World Championships, European Championships, Pan American Championships, the most important International Tournaments in the world: Aruba, Kazan, Terracina, Reunion, Rio, Santos, Castiglione della Pescaia, Torre del Lago and many others. In 2019, the company also started taking an interest in the Padel sector, which is booming in Italy. Despite the Covid emergency, in just two years, the company developed a collection of Padel rackets, balls and accessories that were very successfully adopted by the Italian market. The company underwent changes in early 2021 and became wholly owned by three entrepreneurs from Grosseto. For both beach tennis and Padel, Quicksand is a company with a worldwide presence through a network of distributors and retailers. It also sponsors a number of top players of different nationalities who are in the ITF Top 10 Ranking, both male and female, pro and underage categories for beach tennis, and has started to collaborate with and sponsor a number of Padel clubs in Italy. Through its support of sports associations, it contributes to the organisation of prestigious tournaments all over the world.
