Dear fellow squash players, my name is Tim Burganov and I will be taking care of warranty issues. The following is information about the Xamsa Warranty Program. If you have any concerns after reading, please send me an email and I will get back to you shortly.

The idea behind creating Xamsa Squash is to promote squash and to offer high quality racquets at fair prices. We do our best to avoid any manufacturing defect however if there is a problem, we are here to resolve it. Due to relatively high cost compared to selling price, we cannot afford a no-fault warranty program.

You are the only person who knows exactly what happened to your racquet therefore we leave it up to you to decide.

If your racquet broke within 30 days of purchase, we kindly ask you to assess the damage and choose one of the following options:

Manufacturing defect. If you believe that your racket broke due to manufacturing defect, please let me know and I will arrange for a replacement at no charge.
Contributed damage. If you do not think it was a manufacturing defect, but believe the racquet was nonetheless a little too fragile, let's meet half way. We will be happy to sell you a new racket with 50% discount.
Significant impact with the wall causing the racket to break. This is not a warranty case however we understand how frustrating it can be to break a racquet so quickly. We will gladly give you a 25% discount if you would like to buy a new racquet.

Please note: the custom stringing is not covered by warranty. There is a $15 shipping fee for the replacement racquet (Canada and the US). For other countries, the shipping fee will depend on your location. To avoid the shipping expenses for the replacement racquet, you can buy any racquet and we will enclose a replacement racquet at no extra shipping fee. If we need the broken racquet back, we will let you know and will provide a pre-paid return shipping label.

If your racquet broke after 30 days of purchase but you only played with it a couple of times, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. Please rest assured that we will find a satisfactory solution.

Exquisite!

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.

Excellent control

This is one truly durable racquet!! I have hit it hard on some courts but it's still going strong. The hybrid shape gives it a lot of extra control, while still retaining most of the power that you might get from a teardrop racquet like the pxt incognito. Great value for money, and as always, the customer service cannot be matched!

Best racket I’ve used

Took a risk and bought without testing it. Used it for a few games so far and love the control.

Xamsa crucible incognito

Great racket, very happy with my purchase. Feels more manoeuvrable and quicker than my old, now backup, crucible (not incognito), which I also love. A noticable improvement on back corner work and volleying. Would recommend to all players. Looks sexy too.

Great Doubles Racquet

Love my new doubles racquet. This is my second Xamsa purchase and it did not disappoint. Great quality at a great price.

Love it

In my opinion, squash racquets are kind of like golf clubs. Most people never seem totally satisfied. I was always like this - until now. I love this racquet. I have always hit the ball pretty hard and I was worried about the power. Nothing to worry about here. The ball really pops of the strings. The big difference for me is how much my touch has improved. I was prone to hitting the ball too loose on my forehand. With this racquet I seem to be able to keep all of those length shots tight on both walls. I've never had a great drop shot but those shots have also gotten dramtically better for me. I also notice that when I'm in an awkward position and I'm sure that I'm going to hit a bit of the side wall I'm somehow able to still hit it nice and tight along the wall. I honestly couldn't be happier with this racquet and it will be the only one in my bag going forward.

Xamsa Onyx Squash Racquet Strung

O Canada Racquet

The racquet looks and feels great! I love the Canadian flair.

Great Xamsa racquet, as usual!!

Love the way it plays. Next time would prefer patriotic Canadian racquet with red MATTE finish, though.

Beautiful new racquets

I bought 2 Onyx Exposed - O Canada edition racquets. I had been able to hit a few balls with an earlier version of the racquet before, and loved the balance, feel, and power that I felt. When these gorgeous, shiny, red racquets showed up, I was immediately impressed by the flashy looks, but also struck by the balanced feel. I had to wait a couple of weeks to get on the court with them, as our courts in Saskatchewan remained closed due to Covid, but once I got on court, I was, and continue to be, blown away by how good the racquet feels in my hand. Probably the best racquet I have played with, with the possible exception of the Harrow Vapor Ultra-light.

Great Racket

Bought a Xamsa Onyx Incognito based mainly on the looks and reviews since I'm too far away to try them (shipping is roughly a 1/3 of the price in my case) but absolutely loved it. After a few not-so-gentle wall-collisions I'm in need of another racket - and intend to get the exact same one.
