Dunlop Double Yellow Dot Squash BallDunlop squash balls make up 95% of all squash balls sold. I heard that once, and I’m not sure if that’s 100% true, but it does seem plausible to me. I can’t remember buying any other brand of squash balls in my adult lifetime, although I’ve tested out other brands since starting this site.

Here are all the different varieties:

Dunlop Pro (double yellow dot)
Dunlop Competition (single yellow dot)
Dunlop Progress (red dot)
Dunlop Intro (blue dot)
Dunlop White (what the pros use on glass courts)
Dunlop Green (high altitude)

Dunlop Double Yellow Dot Squash Balls

The most common variety of Dunlop squash balls is the “double yellow dot”, also known as Dunlop Pro. These are the standard ball. Regular and advanced players play with these; they are the least bouncy.


Box of 12

They have two different packaging styles (I think the black is newer) but they’re both the same ball.

Dunlop Single Yellow Dot Squash Balls

Dunlop Competition Single Yellow Dot - 1 Ball

The next ball in the lineup is the Dunlop yellow dot, also known as the Dunlop Competition ball. This is the same diameter as the Pro ball, but a bit bouncier. This is perfect for improving players or just cold courts. Seriously, if the ball isn’t bouncing around enough, give the single dot a try. I was actually playing with one the other day by mistake and didn’t notice until the third game. So it’s a subtle difference and can make the game more enjoyable by making the rallies longer.

Here’s a YouTube video showing the double yellow dot and single yellow dot balls, plus a cameo from a Dunlop doubles squash ball.

Dunlop White Squash Balls

These are the balls the pros use on Squash TV. And also what you want for the dark-tinted glass show court in your basement.

Even though they only have one dot, they are a “Pro” ball, i.e. the equivalent of a double yellow dot.

    Are there any white balls that are non-Pro? Equivalent to a single yellow dot black ball?

    There’s a glass court here and they won’t permit black balls, but they’re quite cold, so the white balls are pretty dead.

      I guess not, eh?
      That’s too bad because it makes the game almost unplayable when they don’t allow black balls of other bounciness 🙁

      Yes, we get single yellow dot WHITE balls here in Johannesburg, South Africa.

    What about the High Altitude green dot we use here in Ecuador. (Dunlop brand) There are also in Prince and Wilson brands.

    I heard there is a “orange dot”. Which ones is that? How much bouncing?

      Good point I’ve added the green dot. I never heard of the orange dot before…

        We used to get the high altitude orange dot here in Johannesburg some years ago. It appears to have now been superseded by the GREEN dot or “High Altitude” ball.
        The Green dot comes with both the black ball and the glass court white ball.

    I found the new “black” WSA squash balls don’t have the same loft as the WISPA squash balls. Plus, they have a different SKU. The WISPA ball is 5013317219947 and the WSA ball is 5013317219862.

    Fruugo used to advertised the WISPA ball on their website and then ship out the WSA ball instead. I found there to be a significant difference and sent back 6 dozen balls.

    On the squash court, during warmup, I could never get the WSA ball to warm up nearly as much as the WISPA ball. The bounce off the back was significantly less and changed the game totally.

    One day I’ll make a video to show the difference. 🙂

    Hi,

    Maybe you can try the black knight tru bounce double yellow dot. The Dunlop obviusly is the best ball but this is good to be a real alternative and cheaper.

    In the winter I use the one yellow dot because is really cold here in Chile and is perfect to train with a teacher even you correct your movements.

    Regards

      Thanks for the feedback Ricardo! I actually forgot that I’d posted about Black Knight squash balls before. I haven’t actually tried them out yet.

      I found a ball very similar in characteristics to the original Dunlop double yellow WISPA ball (UPC 5013317219947). It’s a double yellow made by Diadora and is sold at Sportchek here in Canada. It’s so similar, you wonder if Dunlop gave them their original recipe! It’s my go-to ball now.
      Someone had suggested that my experience with the new Dunlop’s was because of altitude, etc, etc…but it didn’t matter whether I bought locally or online, they all had the same issue. I hope you’re listening, Dunlop!
