Perfect size. Carries 4 of my rackets easily. Might not shove 6 in there. Ventilated pocket carries sneakers and shower shoes easily. Plenty of room for 2 changes of workout clothes. Compartments and side pockets are well thought out and useful for you to configure as you want. Seems very durable. Love the minimalist look and design. Very sleek.
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.
This racquet was exactly what I signed up for and more. Great power, lightweight, and ready to use right away. I added an overgrip wrap with no problems. Excellent value as well.
First review of the rackets compared to the Technifibre Carboflex 130, the racket felt lighter than the carboflex but much more balanced throughout, the racket is a true shot makers dream, i'd always felt like i'd lost a little of my touch game with the Carboflex, with the trade for control, but the PXT Incognito has given me that element back to my game without trading the control and it provides effortless power. Amazing response for my deceptive shots and cross court switches, tried both the Xamsa Strings and X-One strings, loved the Xamsa strings, both played very similar but the feedback from the Xamsa was superior. In regards to the grips i've always been a Karakal person as they have been unmatched in tackiness and durability, but wow the Xamsa X-Glu is a real contender, the grip was fantastic even when sweaty, definetely on par with the Karakal PU Super Grip for sure from the initial feel. Normally with other rackets i've tried from Harrow and Black Knight i've ended back with the Carboflex, not tonight, I switched to compare but had to switch back quickly as I missed the playability. Excellent racket and awesome service.
I've said it time and time again, the minute I tried a Xamsa I never looked back. It its a great balance of agility/finess and power. Its durability is also a huge selling point for me.
Would buy again!
