Nowadays there are a plethora of squash balls available to the public at their local sporting goods store. They come in a dizzying variety of colours and sizes, leaving the majority of people looking dazed and colourblind when in the squash aisle. The different colours on a squash ball refer to the 'speed' of that ball and how it realtes to it's bounce. Balls with less bounce are for playing a faster game when compared with those with a large bounce. This review will focus on the Dunlop Pro Series squash ball with two yellow dots. The double yellow dot ball is the competition standard ball used in all major championships around the world. It has the ...  Read the complete review

Squash, for those of you who don't know much about this sport, is a racquet sport that is played by two players (or four players if you're playing doubles). It is played in in a four-walled court (often from my experience with one of these walls being made from glass so or with a balcony above the game so that someone can watch the game and check for cheating and such). The ball used in this sport is small, hollow and made from rubber. As this review is about squash balls in particular, I shall give you some generic details on what squash balls typically are. Squash balls are between 39.5 and 40.5 mm across and weigh 23 to 25 grams. They are made by gluing ...  Read the complete review

If you're looking for a great way to exercise, losing weight while improving your dexterity and reactions and really going for it while having fun at the same time, then there's not really very much that can beat a good game of squash. You're under the exact same limitations as your opponent, and you even have the same court space, bar the serve. I find that a good game of squash is excellent for a workout and it makes you feel really good after playing it, giving some of those muscles you wouldn't normally use a workout. What I love about the game is the fact that the pace of it can be somewhat controlled by choosing what sort of ball you play with. Squash is ...  Read the complete review

I've played the game of squash for the last three years, and find It to be an incredibly effective work-out. Unlike golf, where the ball plays only a small part in determining a player's performance, the squash ball is an extremely important factor in deciding the outcome of a game. This is because certain squash balls have a lower bounce than others. The balls used by beginner players are very bouncy, whereas, the pro-standard balls have a low bounce, giving the player less time to return the shot. So how do you know which squash balls are right for you?... luckily there's a dot and colour system in place. Varieties of squash balls: the dot / colour ...  Read the complete review

Squash is probably my favourite sport because it tests you so many levels. A good game of squash will test your speed, with you dashing across the court for forty odd minutes. It will also test your agility, to see if you can be nimble and reach for those tricky shots. Also, your strength and endurance will be put the test, as the game will require power serves to knock the opponent for six. This is the part I like the most! The game does require some equipment, a raquet and a ball to play with, then you are good to go. I have used a range of balls in my time on the courts, though I do favour the Dunlop brand. You can buy a pack of six for just over the ten ...  Read the complete review
