Try Before You Buy

Hi Squash Players, 

This is Tim Burganov, Xamsa Squash co-founder.

Xamsa Squash is introducing its “Try Before You Buy” program and I am looking forward to building a custom racquet for you.

Here is how it works:
Please fill out the form below with a few questions about your preferences and style of play

I will personally review your answers and will send you an email within 24 hours with my suggestion for a racquet with custom strings, tension and grip.
if you decide to give it a try, please complete the order and pay the deposit ($110-$160 CAD depending on the customization options)

When you receive your custom racquet, you will have 30 days to test it out in real game situations.

If we don’t receive your return request within 31 days, we will assume that you are happy with the racquet and will process your order as a final sale (the deposit will cover the full price of the racquet). Otherwise, please send the racquet back and we will refund your deposit in full. You will need to pay for return shipping or we can email you a pre-paid shipping label and deduct $10 CAD for Canada ($15 CAD for the US). Squash players from other countries are more than welcome to participate in the program but in case you want to return the racquet, you will need to arrange for a return shipping yourself.

Here is a few examples of our recommendations (scroll down to fill the form):


$75 - $110

$145 - $175
