Dunlop 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.

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

Search:Dunlop Single Yellow Dot Squash Balls

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.

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.
