Squash racquet Tecnifibre Carboflex 130 X-TOP v2

The CARBOFLEX 130 X-TOP V2 squash racket is designed to maximize the swing speed of every player. It is the ideal choice for both high-level players and casual players. Thanks to the JUMBO SHAFT technology, this reinforced single-shaft racket generates power directly from its construction. The 500 cm² head provides an excellent compromise between power and stability and is strung with Dynamix VP polyurethane multifilaments, the most responsive Tecnifibre string.

The CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 range pushes the boundaries of innovation with patented X-TOP technology. The bumper has been removed to obtain a completely new design that optimises performance. It is replaced by a combination of active fibres, including aramid fibres, a material with high impact resistance, and a PTFE treatment that improves glide and protects the racket from abrasion. Without the bumper, the racket is smoother and penetrates the air better, ensuring maximum swing speed and power. Replacing plastic with these materials also allows for better response, less vibration and greater comfort.

The racket has been redesigned with an AirShare section to improve its aerodynamics and promote acceleration. Its single-shaft construction is reinforced on both sides with X-Arms tendons, thus limiting the racquet's elasticity while ensuring stability and precision on impact. To increase forgiveness on off-center hits and facilitate spin, the technology of extended eyelets has been integrated: the 12 special eyelets in the frame have been extended at the 3, 9 and 12 o'clock positions to allow for better string work.

The CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 series is used by squash legends such as Mohamed el Shorbagy, Nour el Sherbini, Nouran Gohar and many others at the top of the world squash. These champions support and actively participate in the technical improvement of the products. Tecnifibre’s mission is to unleash the potential of every player by offering products that combine high levels of performance and exceptional elegance, all developed in the TECNILAB laboratory according to the principle: Identify, Quantify, Solve.

In squash, swing speed is key, as the ball moves extremely quickly and over 58% of shots are taken in tight spaces, especially in corners. How can you improve performance in these conditions? The answer is swing speed. TECNIFIBRE’s TecniLab team studied this issue and found that the better a player performs, the faster their swing. Based on this data, the new CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 range was developed to increase the acceleration speed of the rackets for all levels of players.
