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.

Nice looking and nice feeling

I’d been using Head squash rackets and find no difference about shot touch feelings and maneuverability or even better..
I’m fully satisfied with this racket..

Love the racket.

Huge fan of this racket. Excellent weight and balance. Great price, and plays great.

Xamsa Obsidian Squash Racquet Strung

Great racquet but questionable durability

I really like the racquet and really want to continue to like the racquet, but I am starting to question the durability of this one. I have had 2 now that have cracked across the face, each lasting only 30 days. I am not a crazy power hitter, and my game is good enough that I don't have bone crushing wall impacts, however I do play everyday. I hope a racquet should last more that 30-45 hours of play. Tim has been great and we are working through the problems.

Thank you for the review. We only had 6 warranty claims on this model which is less than 2% of the racquets sold but it's very unusual that your two racquets broke so fast. We will find a solution for you. I will be in touch. Thanks again, Tim

Really Satisfied

Love the racquet, feels very comfortable and smooth. Xamsa provides exceptional customer service and went above and beyond to give me advice with selecting the right strings for the racquet.

Good racquet, great price

The obsidian is a really solid choice for a bridged racquet. Good feel and good power for half the price of anything equivalent.

Love Xamsa Obsidian

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!

string and balance

string too soft and become lose real fast. head heavy as it is.

Great Racquet

This racquet is beautiful. It feels very comfortable and balanced when I hold it. The all-black style is cool. And, I liked how they put an arrow at the bottom (people always ask me to spin for the first serve).

My squash mates tried it out and they liked it. One of them hit the ball for 2 minutes with it and bought it on the same day.

It is my top favorite or, at least, in the top 2 favorite racquets that I have used so far.

110%👌

Met & exceeded expectations including service & speedy international delivery

Durable and responsive

Great touch on the ball. I string about 1-2 lb less than normal to get the power I want out of the strings.

Great Squash bag.

I was looking for a bag that I could put all my stuff in, and it also holds four rackets—lots of pockets. The fit is excellent and comfortable. I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for a good all-around bag.

great stuff

Definitely more power than the previous racquet I was using. I also really appreciate the complete lack of shock and vibration because of a previous wrist surgery. Great customer service.

Excellent racquet for beginners

I bought this racquet after reading a review on Squash Source as I wanted something lightweight and forgiving but which could give me a little more power as a beginner. This is perfect - I play much better and it looks fabulous too. All the players in my club admire the stylish, all black design. Highly recommended!

The only squash bag you'll need

I used to have the larger bag but I'm happy with the condensed size as it still has the shoe compartment and the two pockets inside and fits two racquets and your clothing really well. It feels well made and has great [minimal] branding!

Love the demo program

This is the first opportunity I have had to demo different racquets and I really liked it. Having the racquets for a few weeks gave me a chance to learn each racquet and how it affects my play. I was surprised how each racquet was noticeably different despite similar specs.

Great racquets

I tried two racquets on their demo program and kept both. They have performed great for me and I and happy with the quality.
Only small comment is one racquets grip is a bit loose so I ended up rewrapping it but not a big deal.
Great value

Incognito 6R Bag

The bag is a little smaller then I expected, however, having the racquet's in a smaller compartment allows for more items to go in the larger main compartment. The small pockets help keep things organized. The shoulder straps are a bit far apart but manageable. Overall, a good buy.

Crucible

Great racket.. would love to help Xamsa distribute these and other modes in London, UK. I used to live in Alberta where these rackets were quite popular and think they would do very well in the UK market. Will send a follow up email.
