The Xamsa PXT squash racquet is a head-heavy, control-oriented frame built by squash players for squash players — club-tested across skill levels from intermediate to advanced/professional. Formerly known as the PXT 115, this racquet got 5 grams lighter and now carries the streamlined PXT name.
It shares the same mold as the Xamsa PXT 110 squash racquet but runs a bit heavier and more durable, making it a great choice for players who want a more forgiving, control-focused option.
Based on feedback from players of different levels, the PXT feels more solid, has a larger sweet spot, and provides better control (though less raw power) than the PXT 110.
A few words about the technology used in the PXT's construction.
The frame is made of Toray Japan standard modulus carbon fiber woven with high modulus carbon fiber.
Unlike the PXT 110, the PXT doesn't have basalt in the head of the racquet. No need to reinforce it further, as its head-heavy balance with a few extra grams up top already provides better durability.
On the image below you will see the shaft of the racquet that looks like a snake skin.
This is a layer of vibration damping material (carbon fiber with polyolefin) woven with a layer of strengthening material (basalt). It's for illustration purposes only. For the final version of the racquet, we painted "snake skin" over with matt black. You can only see it when you remove the grip.
While testing different prototypes, we did a series of drives, volleys and drops, and the prototype with "snake skin" on the shaft (155 gr / 365 mm) produced more consistent shots without any vibration, so we decided to give it a go.
Hopefully, you will love this squash racquet too.

Here is a video review of the Xamsa PXT squash racquet by Pierre from Squash Source:
I really like the PXT 115, its a great intermediate level racket. It gives a good balance between power and control, and is lighter than I expected. Highly recommend.
I really love this racquet. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the strings, so strung some ashaways in there at a higher tension, since the PXT already provided a ton of power. Now I get a ton of power as well as great touch. Definitely the best racquet I’ve used so far, and at a fraction of the price of other competitive racquets
My wife and I have been using the PXT115 and the PNT110 (Respectively) for a few months now. I have found the PNT110 to be a great racquet. The touch and finesse of the PNT110 is spot on. No vibration or pinging and plenty enough power for me when I need it. My wife loves the PXT115. She had been using another branded racquet previously and found an instant improvement to her game when she started using the Xamsa racquet. Will be using Xamsa racquets from here on in.
I've been using the PXT 115 for about 2 months now. It feels very lightweight althougt it is heavier then the PXT 110.
Even though it is lightweight there is no problem in hitting the ball hard even with a short swing.
I really like the balance of lighness and power allowing you to have a lot of touch.
The racket has no vibration which is also a big plus in my eyes.
Another important point is that the frame is very robust, i've used to break quite a few of the other rackets but this one is more solid.
Spreading the word in Ottawa
the racquet is excellent so far!
great balance power and control with no vibration and above all great value for money
Works for me. Good flex for vibration free hit.
I love Xamsa racquets. They are very reasonably priced and just as good as the expensive high end racquets. I love the balance of the PXT 115, fairly neutrally balanced.
Used to play with Tecnifibre 125s - which i really liked but I guess I beat up on it too much. The PXT 115 feels great - don't miss the 125s at all especially as the 125s is way more expensive.
PXT 115 has a little more pop and is ever so slightly head heavy, but maneuverable and solid.
Didn't care for the grip that came with it, wrapped it with Mega Tac - nice a sticky now.
I am on my second PXT 115; frame on the first one cracked less than 2 months after purchase. Company did offer me a discount on a new raquet so I took the offer and purchased 2. Been playing regularly now for one month and so far so good........power and touch are probably the best I have felt in my years as "B" player.
Very happy with this racket. I actually use as my back-up racket. The price is right . Sturdy but perfectly weighted with nice touch. Definitely recommended. Will buy again
Love this racquet. Light and stiff frame give you lots of power and maneuverability. Touch isn't as good as the PNT model but still consistent once you get used to it. Worth it for the power and quickness for volleying. As with all Zamsa, great value for a high quality racquet.
The racquet is fantastic - better in both performance and durability than similar racquets that I have paid $150+ for. Excellent service as well. The free shipping over $95 is great, and my racquet was promptly delivered (within a few days of my order). I would highly recommend this racquet and will continue to buy my racquets from Xamsa from now on, as this was my first!
The PXT 115 is the best racket I've played with so far. It's very light, but very head heavy, so I still get a great weight of stroke without too much work. It's pretty stiff, but you get used to it quickly. And for it's price range, it's an unbeatable deal.
This was the only racquet I have ever purchased that I could use right out of the box. Strings and grip were good and the PXT 115 has lasted twice as long as the previous PXT 110. Highly recommended.
Great racquet for a really good price. Don't let the $100 price tag fool you, this racquet is on par with the top of the line $200 racquets. I previously was using the Carboflex 125S but will reach past it for the PXT 115. Although total power on a clean shot is likely slightly more with 125S, I consistently play with more power with the PXT 115 because of the more forgiving nature of the sweet spot. Even off center shots with PXT 115 have little to no vibration and a good feel. Control was great. It feels very similar in many ways to the 125S so it was an easy transition. I am using the factory strings, which seem to work fine to me. They remind me a lot of the TF strings. Good pop but you can cut the well ball also. I wasn't big on the stock grip at first, but it has grown on me and I am consistently using it. I don't typically use an overgrip and it works well for me.
