Furthermore, many high end racquets are often fragile as playability is prioritized over durability.
If you are not an advanced player, you may tend to hit the wall a bit too hard for the racquet to last long enough.
Durability was our main focus for the Duro 120.
That being said, the racquet plays very well too. It feels solid, doesn’t vibrate and generates a good amount of power.
Hopefully, you will give Xamsa a try and will see for yourself that low price doesn’t always mean low quality.

It's really durable
Very happy with the stringing service and thr strings I selected.
Xamsa PXT V2 Incognito Squash Racquet
Xamsa PXT V2 Incognito is my favorite racquet so far. It has the perfect combination of weight, shape and feel for both control and power shots. I’m really pleased with it and highly recommend it.
Love the racquets. Great quality racquet at a great price!
Great touch on the ball. I string about 1-2 lb less than normal to get the power I want out of the strings.
