Tecnifibre Carboflex Airshaft Squash Racket Range

Product Information

For as long as squash has existed, squash rackets have almost always had a bumper strip at the top of their frames. If you follow the link, the product will cost the same as usual, and I’ll receive a small commission fee. Does anyone know why the 125 X-speed costs more than the 130 and 135 – is it really superior in build or is it more a marketing ploy for lightness and use by El Shorbagy and others? It’s pretty much as if you’ve taken the top bumper strip/grommet piece when replacing it, and literally cut out the outside parts that is the bumper, and left the thin piece in the middle that houses the grommets, and put it back in. If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Python Vibration Dampner (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).

Extended String Holes - The groomet holes enlarged on 4 specific mains and 4 specific cross to encourage movement of the strings and to improve tolerance and effects. The difference is subtle – with the Carboflex line proving so popular with professionals and club players across the globe, think of this as a ‘refinement’, rather than a fundamental change. With rackets on the market such as the Karakal Raw 120, Head’s Speed 120SB and Dunlop’s Revelation 125 all having around 4 grams less weight in the head, the Carboflex does feel a little less manoeuvrable in comparison to the competition. Joking aside, the additional weight in the head of these rackets really helps to inject some additional power into your shot. The shaft design is strengthened through X-Arms technology for greater racket stability and improving aerodynamics whilst adding minimal weight.I always go back to the original Black/Yellow 125 introduced in 2012, (now the Heritage), although I do remove the bumper, (by fitting 125S grommet strip minus the optional bumper). The slightly increased weight really helps put more power behind players’ shots, without a huge sacrifice in manoeuvrability. I don’t like the colour of the racket, (bit girly), would have been much better in plain black and worked much better with the X-TOP lettering, which now looks out of place against the white.

The racket is very fast and manoeuvrable thanks to the lighter weight and special Airshaft section that ensures enhanced aerodynamics.I got an X-Top finally, and it came in the mail last week, and I’ve hit with it once so far, for almost 2hrs solo.
