TECNIFIBRE Carboflex 130 X-Top V2 Squash Racquet

TECNIFIBRE Carboflex 130 X-Top V2 Squash Racquet

Description

The CARBOFLEX 130 X-TOP V2 squash racket epitomizes cutting-edge engineering, meticulously crafted to optimize swing speed for players ranging from seasoned competitors to dedicated regulars. Central to its unparalleled performance is the integration of JUMBO SHAFT technology, which enhances the monoshaft's ergonomics to channel raw power directly from the racquet into each shot. Boasting a 500 cm² head size, the racket strikes a masterful equilibrium between power and stability, while its Dynamix VP polyurethane multifilament strings ensure heightened reactivity and precision. The CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 series revolutionizes traditional design with its patented X-TOP technology, eschewing the conventional plastic bumper in favor of an innovative blend of active fibers. Aramid fibers, known for their exceptional impact resistance, combined with a PTFE coating for enhanced surface glide, provide superior frame protection while maximizing aerodynamics, enabling faster swing speeds and increased power. This avant-garde structure also dampens vibrations, enhancing comfort during intense rallies.

Aerodynamically refined with an Airshaft design to further augment swing acceleration, the racket features a monoshaft reinforced by X-Arms to curtail flexibility, ensuring unwavering stability and precision on impact. Extended String Hole technology, with 12 enlarged eyelets strategically placed at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock, facilitates greater string elasticity, enhancing spin potential and off-center shot tolerance. Endorsed by squash icons like Mohamed El Shorbagy and Nouran Gohar, the CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 has rapidly become the weapon of choice among elite players, who actively contribute to its development. TECNIFIBRE’s relentless pursuit of innovation, guided by TECNILAB’s rigorous research methodology—Identify, Quantify, and Solve—underscores their mission to elevate every player's potential. Recognizing the critical role of swing speed in executing precise shots in confined spaces, TECNIFIBRE engineered the CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 to deliver unrivaled acceleration, empowering players to master the game's most challenging dynamics.

Technologies

• SWING SPEED: In squash, players continuously strive to enhance their swing speed, as the game demands rapid reactions with the ball arriving swiftly, and 58% of shots are executed in confined corner spaces. Addressing these spatial and temporal constraints, TECNIFIBRE's TecniLab has rigorously analyzed player performance, focusing on their ability to generate power through racket acceleration. Extensive testing across hundreds of players revealed a significant disparity in acceleration capabilities between elite and club-level players: the higher the skill level, the greater the swing velocity, underscoring the crucial role of acceleration in peak performance.

• X-TOP V2: The racquet’s head construction has undergone a radical transformation, eliminating the conventional plastic bumper in favor of an advanced hybrid of materials designed for uncompromising performance. This innovative approach integrates active fibers, with aramid, renowned for its exceptional impact resistance, combined with a PTFE treatment to enhance glide and safeguard the frame from abrasive contact with floors or walls. The absence of a traditional bumper streamlines the racket’s profile, reducing air drag and enabling superior swing velocity, thereby maximizing power and agility in every stroke.

• GRAPHITE: The Carboflex series, renowned for its advanced engineering, embodies a graphite composition that amalgamates rigidity with flexibility, optimizing power transfer and precision. This fusion of lightweight yet robust material offers a superior balance of control and agility, catering to the nuanced demands of professional athletes. The strategic deployment of graphite in the construction enhances torsional stability while mitigating excessive vibrations, ensuring a consistently smooth, high-performance output. Consequently, the Carboflex series transcends conventional racquet designs, delivering an unparalleled synthesis of responsiveness and resilience, particularly under high-stress conditions on the court.

• BALANCE-WEIGHT:  XTOP 130 is a lightweight squash racquet weighing 130 grams, a balanced weight distribution that provides a blend of power and control. Its construction is designed to offer precision and maneuverability, making it a suitable choice for players seeking enhanced responsiveness on the court. The balanced weight ensures that the racquet is neither too head-heavy nor too light, making it versatile for a variety of playing styles.
