squash balls

Squash balls are specially designed rubber balls used in the game of squash. They are smaller and softer than lawn tennis balls, with a diameter of about 40mm. The balls can vary in bounce and speed based on their rubber composition and whether they are heated before play—heat increases bounce. Different types, such as those labeled “double yellow dot” or “red dot,” indicate their bounce level and suitability for varying skill levels or game conditions. Players adjust their tactics based on the ball’s response, making the ball a critical factor in the game’s dynamics.
