Materials Used in Squash Balls
Squash balls are usually made of rubber, more
specifically raw butyl rubber along with other
natural and synthetic materials mixed with it. A
squash ball is hollow inside and the air in it
helps absorb energy and convert it into heat that
leads to expanded rubber and the ball becomes
bouncier as the game goes on. This is, in fact,
an important aspect about squash ball that it
needs to be warmed up nicely before it starts
bouncing as much its supposed to.

Choosing the Right Squash Ball

• Different types of Squash balls
• Double Dot Squash Balls
• Single Dot Balls
• Red Color Balls
• Yellow Color Balls
• Blue Color Balls

In squash, balls with different colors and dots
have different playing characteristics. These
vary in bounce and also behave differently
according to conditions. At room temperature, a
professional-grade squash ball barely bounces,
but once warmed, it bounces a lot over twice as
much as in its original state.
