Xamsa PXT 115 Squash Racket

Description

PXT 115 feels more solid, has a larger sweet spot, provides better control but is less powerful than the PXT 110. Overall, we think that the PXT 115 is a more versatile racquet whereas the PXT 110 is better suited for an attacking style of play. A few words about technology used in PXT 115 construction. The frame is made of Toray Japan standard modulus carbon fibre woven with high modulus carbon fibre. Unlike the PXT 110, the PXT 115 doesn't have basalt in the head of the racquet. No need to reinforce it further as it has a more head heavy balance with a few extra grammes in the head, which provides for better durability. On the image below you will see a shaft of the racquet that looks like a snake skin. Xamsa PXT 115 unpainted shaft This is a layer of vibration damping material (carbon fibre with polyolefin) woven with a layer of strengthening material (basalt). It's for illustration purposes only. For the final version of the racquet, we painted "snake skin" over with matt black. You can only see it when you remove the grip. While testing different prototypes, we did a series of drives, volleys and drops and the prototype with "snake skin" on the shaft (155 gr / 365 mm) produced more consistent shots without any vibration and we decided to give it a go.
