Introducing the latest updates to one of the most famous frames in the world of squash, the Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Top V2 range is here and the130g version is the heaviest frame in the series and it also features a Jumbo Shaft, making it all about accessing explosive power on every single strike!
Looking at the specs of this racquet, it's got a large 500cm2 head size to give it a large sweet spot and exceptional control on off-centre hits, a 14x18 string pattern that gives a subtle blend of power and control. The 130 X-Top V2 is designed for players looking to execute a flurry of attacks with a slightly larger, more sweeping swing style (when compared to its two lighter brothers the 120 and 125). It gives users access to relentless pace with even more control, plus, its head light balance point allows users to get every gram behind the ball.
The Carboflex 130 X-Top V2 comes equipped with patented X-Top technology meaning that the plastic bumper (seen on most racquets) has been replaced by strong, durable active fibres and complimented with a PTFE treatment to improve slide and protect the frame against abrasion from the floor or walls, allowing you to scrape even the tightest shots off the side wall with an aerodynamic swing.
It's all about swing speed when it comes to the Carboflex X-Top V2 range. These racquets are designed with an aerodynamic Airshaft section promoting faster swing through, plus, the monoshaft design (reinforced with X-Arms) enhances stability and precision by reducing flex in the frame. To add to all of that, Extended String Hole technology enlarges 12 key eyelets on the frame to maximize string elasticity.
Squash legends such as Mohamed el Shorbagy, Nour el Sherbini, and Nouran Gohar have all headed to Tecnifibres TecniLab and had their input in the construction of these frames and you'll now see Carboflex X-Top V2 racquets used and endorsed by players all over the world.
Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Top V2 130 Squash Racquet
The CARBOFLEX 130 X-TOP V2 squash racket has been engineered to optimize every player's swing speed. Ideal for good-level competitors and regular players, it delivers maximum power due to its JUMBO SHAFT technology, which enhances monoshaft ergonomics to channel power directly from the racket. Its 500 cm² head ensures a perfect balance between power and stability. Strung with Dynamix VP polyurethane multifilament, Tecnifibre's most responsive string, this racket offers superior reactivity and control.
The CARBOFLEX X-TOP V2 range represents a breakthrough in innovation, utilizing X-TOP patented technology. The conventional plastic bumper has been removed and replaced with a revolutionary combination of active fibres for improved resistance, speed, and playability. By incorporating aramid fibres, renowned for their impact resistance, and a PTFE coating that enhances slide, the racket frame is now better protected against abrasion from floors or walls. Without the bumper, the racket becomes more aerodynamic, allowing for smoother air penetration, which translates into faster swings and increased power. This fibre-based structure also reduces vibration and provides more comfort during play.
The racket's aerodynamic design, featuring an Airshaft section, further enhances swing acceleration. Its monoshaft construction is reinforced by X-Arms on both sides to reduce flexibility, ensuring stability and precision upon impact. To improve spin and enhance off-centre shot tolerance, the racket incorporates Extended String Hole technology: 12 enlarged eyelets positioned at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock on the frame allow the strings to "breathe," enhancing their elasticity.
