Every PRESTAZIONE paddle is traceable to the hour it was finished, the hands that finished it, and every owner who has carried it since. The vault is private, encrypted, and yours.
PRESTAZIONE began, like most things worth making, in the back of someone else's workshop. In the spring of 2023, a retired Milanese racket-maker named Armando handed Giuseppe Falaschi a teardrop-shaped prototype he had been quietly building for two years — a paddle made from aerospace carbon, with a hand-cured EVA core and a gold motif laid by brush. It was not a racket. It was an object with a point of view.
Giuseppe, who had apprenticed under Armando two decades earlier, played with it for a week. When he returned to the workshop, he asked if he could make more. Armando told him the same thing he had been told at the start of his own career: "Make it slowly, make it right, and make few."
The first Prima Serie paddle left the atelier in September 2024. Eight hundred and eighty-seven more were promised, each to be built in the same room, by the same hands, to the same standard. When the last one ships, the series is closed. The tooling is retired. No reissue, no refresh, no apology.
This page, and the vault it links to, exist to keep that promise auditable — not only by us, but by you.
I am not trying to reinvent padel. I am trying to make one paddle, as well as it can be made, for the player who already understands why that matters.
Counterfeits are the silent tax on anything worth owning. We built our vault so the tax can never be collected on a PRESTAZIONE.
A 1 cm encrypted QR code is laminated beneath the finish on the handle throat. It cannot be replicated without destroying the paddle it sits on.
Scanning the code opens a private, owner-only page in the vault. Production date, master's signature, weight, and balance are logged permanently.
If you sell or gift the paddle, ownership is transferred by the atelier, not by a marketplace. Every hand the paddle has passed through is recorded.
Any player, buyer or insurer can verify authenticity by scanning the paddle's QR from the Verify page. No account required.
The vault opens the moment your paddle is numbered. It closes only when you decide to transfer it — or never.
