Best Squash Balls: Complete Buyer’s Guide
For those who are new to the squash gaming scene, you might be wondering about the importance of the dots found on the squash balls. These dots are actual representations on the difference in the kind of bounce that each ball produces, as well as the level of speed of the said ball.
However, when it comes to purchasing your own squash ball, are there other factors that a player should consider?
Squash Ball: Buyer’s Guide
There are a few things to consider when it comes to purchasing a set of squash balls. First, it is vital to consider the size of the ball and the dots that can be found on the squash ball. Dunlop has dominated the squash ball market as they have perfected the science behind the

On the contrary, if the balls are smaller, these balls produce a much weaker bounce.
• Dots
Players who are relatively new to playing squash may want to begin playing with a squash ball that has blue dots, since it has a faster speed and a higher bounce.
Recreational players can opt for a squash ball with a red dot as it is more challenging to play with since it has a slower speed and lower bounce.
Those who play squash in clubs should purchase a squash ball with a single yellow dot as it has a much slower speed and a much lower bounce.
For those who are professional squash players, they would prefer a ball with double yellow dots because it has an extremely slow speed and the lowest bounce among all the balls mentioned.
There are other balls with more uncommon colored dots such as the white, green, and orange dots. The white dot is perfect for intermediate players as it is slow in speed and low in bounce. However, balls with green and orange dots are meant to be played by high altitude players as it has an extremely slow speed and an extremely low

Transition: First, I want to talk about the equipment used in the game of bowling.
It is a sporting equipment and as such we can easily connect it with fun and competition, it also has holes drilled for the fingers, which leads to a better grip, more control. On the other hand, it is heavy, thus it is something that wants to get away from you, it is hard to hold control of it, it needs those holes drilled if we want to somewhat control it.
The main differences are in the technique used to throw the ball and the number of players on the field, both styles of soft ball use the underhand throwing style.

The golf ball has changed dramatically through the years. Smooth hardwood balls were used between the 1400 and 1700's.
One of the most changed aspects of golf has been the evolution of the golf ball. Back in 1910, Golf Illustrated reported, “If the carrying power of golf balls is to be still further increased, all our golf courses will be irretrievably ruined as a test of the game…” The USGA has since placed regulations on the golf ball. In 1932, a weight and size restriction was put in effect with ...
With this discovery, Phil Young persuaded Fred Bommer, to “head up the Acushnet Golf Division” (Titleist Story - Titleist.com. (2016). They set out to develop the highest quality and best performing golf ball in the world; one that would be uniform and consistent in quality, ball after ball. A trait that is still found within the Titleist brand (Titleist Story - Titleist.com. (2016).
In 1910, the cork core was introduced, but there was still no regulations on what the inside of the ball would be made of. Finally, in 1934, the American League- “which favored live balls and big hitters”, and the National League- “known to use thicker, looser balls that favored the pitcher” came up with a standard ball. Neither the ball of the MLB, or the process used in making it, have changed much since then. (Stamp)
How does the material of a ball affect the bounce height/vertical motion of that ball?
Net balls are also a part of the game of volleyball, it is a play which hits the net when it is aside from the first service. A net ball is the equivalent to a failure to return the ball right across the net. The ball hitting the net on first service counts as a trial and the ball becomes dead at that point. Another type of ball is called a line ball that strikes the boundary line. A line ball is the same as an out of court ball and counts exactly like one.

Volleyball also has newtons three laws of motion. Newton's first law states “ an object at rest will stay at rest , and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”. An example of that is Law of Inertia when the ball falls it will continue to fall unless it gets hit or passed. Newton's second law states “the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net external force acting on the object and inversely proportional to a mass of the object.” An example of this is F=m*a, the volleyballs force can be found. Newton's third law states “to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”.When two objects interact, they exert a force on each other . An example of newton's third law is the action of serving or spiking the ball. Another example is the reaction of ball bouncing off the receivers
One big difference is a type of balls used and what is used to make the balls. For a tennis ball, the "modern tennis balls are made of a hollow rubber core, covered in a wool or nylon shell which is known as the nap. Pressurized air inside the rubber core makes the ball bounce. Balls that haven 't got enough pressure inside make a thud when they hit the floor. These are called dead balls." This information I found on www.bbc.co.uk, which also explains a little bit of the history of the tennis ball. In golf, the balls are made up of "many materials used in golf balls but the majority can is broken down into three categories: rubbers, ionomers and urethanes. In the past, golf balls have been made of wood, leather wrapped around feathers, sap from a gutta tree and sap from balata trees." This information is found on www.srixon.co.uk/ which goes further into the making of the golf balls. The tennis ball is two and a half inches (6.35cms) in diameter and weighs two ounces (56.7g). A golf ball is 1.6 ounces (45.93g) and 1.7 inches (42.7mm) in diameter. Even though tennis balls and golf balls are different sizes, they almost weigh the same weight. I find it very interesting that the balls are such different sizes but only a few ounces different in
