Oliver XT880 Squash Racquet

The Oliver XT880 is designed to bridge the gap between beginner aluminium frames and proper performance squash racquets, making genuine graphite construction and real squash performance accessible to club players who are improving but not yet ready for elite-tier equipment.

The XT series sits below the Apex and Orca in Oliver’s lineup, with a more forgiving flex profile and an accessible weight class that won’t punish slightly late or incomplete swings. For intermediate players, this is exactly what’s needed a racquet that reflects improving technique rather than concealing bad habits, but that also doesn’t demand perfection on every shot to produce a usable result.

The XT880’s graphite construction delivers noticeably better feel than aluminium frames at this price bracquet vibration is managed more effectively, contact is cleaner, and the frame responds more honestly to the player’s swing. Players who have been playing on budget beginner racquets for six months to a year will notice an immediate difference when they pick up the XT880.

An excellent first proper squash racquet for improving club players. Recommended stringing tension: 24-28 lbs.
