Tecnifibre Carboflex x-top v2 125 squash racket

Used on the PSA World Tour by Mohamed El Shorbagy.

The X-Top range is equipped with the same technologies that made its predecessor the Airshaft range so popular. The Airshaft section provides a sharpened frame geometry for a more dynamic response and greater swing speed. The shaft design is strengthened through X-Arms technology for greater racquet stability and improving aerodynamics whilst adding minimal weight. There are 12 enlarged string holes at specific locations on the frame (3, 9 and 12 oclock) to encourage the movement of the strings, improving the tolerance of the racquet for an enhanced sweet spot, allowing the player to generate more power, and increasing the effect/cut the player can put on the ball.

• Top bumper removed for more power and playability
• X-Arms technology to improve racket stability
• Pre-strung in Tecnifibres latest premium squash string Dynamix VP
• Designed with Mohamed El Shorbagy

The Carboflex range has the revolutionary monoshaft design provides the player with the perfect combination of power and control. The Carboflex range has continuously been improved and now in its seventh generation we have one of the greatest evolutions! With inspiration coming from professional players Tecnifibre aim to make it the best monoshaft racquet on the market today.

The 2022 Carboflex range gets its name from the breakthrough innovation from Tecnifibre called X-Top, inspired by Mohamed El Shorbagy. A patented technology allows the removal of the bumpers plastic inactive material at the top of the racquet, and instead to use 100% active fibres. No bumper = More active fibres = 100% performance! More Resistance, More Speed, More Power, More Reactivity, More Playability.

Aramid fibres (the same materials used in bulletproof vests) are used at the top of the racquet for maximum shock resistance, along with a PTFE (Teflon) treatment increasing the sliding on wall/floor contact for maximum abrasion resistance. The new mix of materials provides even more resistance than a traditional bumper.

With no bumper and integrated grommets, a perfectly sleek frame design allows for greater racquet acceleration and better gliding on the wall for extraordinary swing speed. The removal of the plastic bumper also reduces vibrations for more comfort.

A unique benefit of Tecnifibre squash racquets is that they come pre-strung in a Tecnifibre string. Tecnifibre have been at the forefront of squash strings since 1980 and have been used by the worlds top players both then and now. The Carboflex range (excluding the junior racquet) come pre-strung in Tecnifibres latest premium squash string Dynamix VP. Polyamide fibres are upgraded with a vapor process that steams the material for higher elasticity, allowing the player to generate more power. This combined with Tecnifibres exclusive PU 400 production, which gives the string a 400% elasticity factor, makes Dynamix VP Tecnifibres most powerful squash string.

The Carboflex X-Top range is designed with an elegant all-white design with eye-catching colours on the brand name and the exciting new X-Top technology. 3D decals on the shaft gives the racquet a premium, tactile finish.

The Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 X-Top v2 Squash Racket – El Shorbagy!

Deliver a fast-swing speed with Tecnifibres CARBOFLEX 125 X-TOP V2 squash racket.

With its light weight of 125g and a thinner handle than the other rackets in the range, this squash racket offers exceptional manoeuvrability.

The 500 cm head size offers a perfect compromise between power and stability and it is strung with Dynamix VP polyurethane multifilament, Tecnifibre s most responsive string .

• Carboflex X-TOP V2: This range pushes the boundaries of innovation with the patented X-TOP technology. The bumper has been removed, optimizing performance, and has been replaced by a combination of active fibres, for resistance to shocks, and a PTFE treatment that improves glide and protects the racket against abrasion. Without a bumper, the racket is more fluid and penetrates the air better, to offer maximum swing speed and power.

• Airshaft Section: To improve the aerodynamics and promote acceleration during the swing this frame has a monoshaft construction that is reinforced on both sides by the X-Arms tendons. This limitis the flexibility of the racket while ensuring stability and precision on impact.

• Extended String Holes Technology: integrated: 12 specific eyelets of the frame have been enlarged at the 3 oclock, 9 oclock and 12 oclock positions, to allow for better elasticity of the strings. This also increases the forgiveness on off-centre shots and facilitates spin.
