Equipment Corner: Squash Balls

Ever feel like navigating the squash ball shelf is a mystery? Don't worry, we've got you covered!

Squash balls come in a rainbow of colours, each having different 'hang time' in the air and different bounce heights.

Blue dot balls are the zippiest, perfect for experienced players who crave a fast-paced game.

Red dots slow things down a bit, ideal for intermediate players looking for more control.

White dots take it even easier, bouncing lower and slower – a great choice for beginners or junior players.

Yellow single dot balls are a good middle ground, offering a balanced bounce for developing skills.

Finally, the double yellow dot balls are the slowest bouncers, the official choice for pro tournaments and those who've mastered squash.

So, next time you're grabbing a ball, think about your skill level and desired game speed, and pick the perfect colour for your next hit!
