Understanding Squash Ball Types
Squash balls vary in bounce, speed, and hang time depending on the colour of the dot printed on them. Here's a quick breakdown:
- - Double Yellow Dot (Pro) – Low bounce, slow speed. Used by advanced and professional players.
- - Single Yellow Dot – Medium bounce, slightly faster. Great for intermediate players.
- - Red or Blue Dot – High bounce, faster speed. Ideal for beginners, juniors, and colder court conditions.

How Often Should You Replace Squash Balls?
Squash balls lose bounce over time, especially with regular use. If your shots start feeling flat or the ball doesn’t warm up as expected, it’s time for a replacement. Competitive players often carry fresh balls for consistent performance during matches and training.
