Xamsa Crucible Squash Racquet

Description

The racquet shape has proven its success over the years and is still actively offered by many brands around the world. Some players call it “hybrid” as it’s not exactly a “bridged” racquet like the Obsidian, and it’s not a teardrop racquet like the PXT. It’s somewhere in between in terms of power and control.

This frame is a good choice for all around players, allowing for controlled tight drop shots and good length while still generating considerable pace when needed. Overall, Crucible is not as powerful as the PXT model, but provides superior control.

Crucible uses the same materials and technology as the PXT 115 model, which has proven to be a high performance racquet with outstanding durability.

The frame is made of Toray Japan standard modulus carbon fiber woven with high modulus carbon fiber.

The image below shows the snake skin style shaft of the racquet under the paint.

This is a layer of vibration dampening material (carbon fiber with polyolefin) woven with a layer of strengthening material (basalt). The image is for illustrative purposes only. The actual racquet shaft has the “snake skin” painted over with matt black. You can only see it when you remove the grip.
