Xamsa knows 4 different squash rackets
teardrop shape
The PXT V2 and Onyx racquets have a teardrop shape. Due to the longer stringing, you can generate more power with this type of racket and thus hit faster balls. A teardrop shaped blade also has a larger sweet spot (ideal place to hit the ball) and is therefore more forgiving when playing.
- Recommended for: Ideal head shape for beginners as more forgiving to play or for powerfull players.
bridge shape
The racket Obsidian has a bridge shape, respectively a large opening at the neck of the racket. The best features of this racket head is the control and precision. This requires a good technique when playing.
- Recommended for: rather skilled and experienced players who like to play very precisely.
hybrid shape
The racket Crucible is a hybrid racket and a kind of middle ground of the two above mentioned shapes. This racket has a small opening at the neck of the frame and has all-rounder playing characteristics.
- Recommended for: All-rounder players.

--> Note about racket damage: Frame breakage can happen. From the experience of last years, we can say that our Xamsa rackets are not suitable for all players. For people who like to hit the wall out of frustration our rackets are not suitable. For such hits the rackets are not made and can quickly break. Likewise, our rackets do not like it when the rackets collide together. However, with normal use, the racquets will last a long time.
If a racket should break, you can find more information under warranty (english page is online soon).
