Product Information

In conclusion, squash balls are relatively simple things, but as with so many things it’s only easy to understand once you know the detail. Returning to the point, each brand has their own recipe for making a squash ball, so each will undoubtedly vary in at least a small part. It is best to consider playing with either a blue or red ball when starting. At the same time, you work on improving your game before advancing to higher level balls which require longer rallies and regular hard strikes to ensure that they are sufficiently warm enough for play. Once your squash game improves, you can consider using the single yellow dot balls. The Tournament Squash ball bounces up to 10% more than the Prime and this ball can also be used by advanced players in training sessions and especially in cold weather conditions. Now that you understand more about why squash has different balls, let’s look at each in more detail. How Are Squash Balls Rated

Single yellow dot (Slow)– This ball is mostly used during colder weather conditions. For general play all year long it benefits new players who do not hit the ball hard. If you opt for them prematurely, you may hinder your progress as a squash player and find yourself irritated that you cannot play as well as you could with the other colors. The double yellow ball became the standard ball for professional competitions in 2001 when the World Squash Federation opted for them over the single yellow dot balls. Conclusion Our customers often ask us how often a squash ball should be replaced. There´s no written rule for this. After using the same ball for a while you start noticing that it´s not behaving in the same way as before. Squash balls consist of two rubber halves that are put together. Over time, air gradually escapes from the ball, causing the pressure inside to decrease and the ball to lose bounce. When you notice that the ball has stopped to bounce enough to have a good game, the time has come to take a new ball. How often you have to replace the ball depends of course on your playing style and how often you play. Players who hit the ball hard need to switch to a new ball sooner. In any case, it´s recommendable to always have a few new balls in your squash bag. Blue dot squash balls are the easiest to bounce, and they also have far more hang time than the likes of the double yellow dot ball, which is intended for professional players. The balls also vary in size, depending on what color dot they possess, and the ease of play is different with each.As mentioned above, most advanced players are going to use a double yellow dot. Those players have probably been playing for years and will already know the squash ball options available to them. Good Players on a Cold Court This ball is similar to the blue single-dot ball as it has the same bounce rating at 40% higher than the double-yellow dot. Dunlop produces the blue dot ball, while Head produces the white dot ball with the same characteristics. So again, that’s why the best players need the slowest ball. If they were to start with a very lively ball, then as it warmed up further it would start bouncing around uncontrollably, and the game would be less fun. Apart from its smaller size, less hang time, and the need for it to be in constant play to remain warm, the ball is also far less likely to bounce than the others we have gone over. You will be shooting yourself in the foot if you think you can walk onto a squash court without advanced experience in the game and play with this ball. Conclusion

There’s a lot of detail in the article below, but if you only have a few seconds to spare and want to know the #1 ball on the market, here you go: Best-Selling Squash Ball Blue dot, single yellow, or double yellow? How do you chose the right squash ball for your level? Unlike squash, most sports have one sort of ball which everyone can use whether they’re complete beginners or professionals. This can make it confusing for new squash players because of all the different types of squash balls there are and their limited knowledge about them. The main and most noticeable difference between them is the type of rubber used causing a change in bounciness. The Importance of the Right Ball

Karakal Yellow Dot Squash Balls

In squash, the different coloured balls (which can be totally different in colour or just have different coloured dots) are designed to bounce differently and behave differently in certain conditions. Squash is a complex game with many different rules, strategies, and shots available to players. But the most influential aspect of the game is the ball.

While the standard ball colors of blue, red, single yellow and double yellow are standard, there are some makes of squash balls that designate the same colors (like white) for different levels of skill, so never assume that a white Head squash ball designated for beginners has the same characteristics as the FJ white dot ball which is for intermediate players. The temperature of the court should also be taken into account, as some courts are colder than others and you will therefore find it easier to play with bouncier balls. In the winter on colder courts, we frequently use single dot balls even for advanced players, as the double dot balls simply don’t bounce enough. It often simply makes for a far more enjoyable game to avoid the double dot. Now that you know and understand the differences between the squash balls and what the various colors mean in bounce hang time, and speed, you can easily select the right ball for your level of skill in the game. Another reason that the single blue dot ball is ideal for novice players is that you don’t need to hit it as hard as the double-dot yellow to warm it up and hit good shots, so it is a great way to learn the techniques and develop your fitness.You will also experience good rallies with this ball as it will not need to be played as hard as the more advanced balls. It will remain warm enough, and you will enjoy yourself far more on the court than had you opted for a more intermediate ball. Additionally, it offers 40% more bounce than the double yellow dot balls, which is a significant advantage during early play. The Red Dot Squash Ball
