The Xamsa Crucible eXposed is a squash racquet built for players who want the Crucible's proven frame with an even quicker, more head-light feel in hand. This eXposed version strips the bumper and grommet set in favor of exposed eyelets, shaving roughly 8g off the frame weight and shifting the balance point about 12mm more head-light compared to the standard Xamsa Crucible racquet.
Like every racquet in the Xamsa lineup, the Crucible eXposed is club-tested by real squash players across skill levels before release, so the weight, balance, and stiffness are dialed in rather than guessed at. The lighter, more head-light profile makes this racquet especially appealing to intermediate and advanced players who prioritize manoeuvrability, fast racquet-head speed, and control at the front of the court, while still carrying enough of the Crucible's core power for rail shots and volleys.
As with the original Crucible, expect the same head size and shape, string pattern, and recommended string tension range as the standard model — only the bumper/grommet setup and swing weight have changed. Whether you're upgrading from a heavier, head-heavy squash racquet or simply prefer a nimbler feel, the Crucible eXposed is a solid pick for club and tournament players looking to fine-tune their racquet's balance without switching frames entirely.
To me this racket is the perfect one. I feel very confident with it. I have the original Crucible as well (which also always felt like 'the one'), but this stripped down from bumper and grommit is waaay more maneuverable. It is easier for me to add some deception in to my game with this. I feel more comfortable with early preparations and holding the swing longer cause of the lightness. As stated in the description it sometimes is little bit less forgiving, but I'm willing to give away some of it for all the other benefits the racket gives me. Xamsa themselves have given this a 5 on the power. I'd say more like 7. Maybe it's individual to how rackets function from person to person, but a 5 on the power is to low I'd say.
