Dunlop Competition – Squash Ball for Club Players and Skilled Recreational Players
Dunlop Competition is a single-yellow-dot squash ball designed for skilled recreational and club players who want a more demanding ball than the Dunlop Progress while still being slightly easier to play with than the double-yellow-dot Dunlop Pro.
The ball offers more bounce and a longer hang time than the Dunlop Pro, giving players slightly more time to reach the ball and making it easier to create longer rallies. Dunlop Competition is therefore an excellent intermediate step for players developing their game towards competitive level.
Single Yellow Dot – For Club Play and Advanced Training
The single yellow dot indicates that Dunlop Competition sits between the Progress and Pro in terms of bounce and difficulty.
The ball requires a relatively good playing pace to perform at its best but is not as demanding to keep warm as a double-yellow-dot competition ball. This makes it an excellent choice for club players who want to train with a ball that approaches the playing characteristics of the Dunlop Pro.
More Bounce Than Dunlop Pro
Dunlop Competition has a higher bounce and longer hang time than Dunlop Pro. This gives players slightly more time to position themselves and prepare for the next shot.
It makes longer rallies easier to maintain while still placing clear demands on technique, footwork and shot placement.
The Perfect Step Towards a Double Yellow Dot
For players who find Dunlop Progress is becoming too easy to play with but are not yet getting the best experience from Dunlop Pro, Competition is a natural next step.
The ball helps players become accustomed to a lower bounce, faster movement and less time between shots before progressing to a double-yellow-dot ball.
For Training and Club Play
Dunlop Competition is ideal for regular squash training, club play and practice matches. It provides an excellent balance between playability and challenge, allowing players to maintain longer rallies without making the game too easy.
It is also an excellent option for coaches working with players who have progressed beyond beginner level and need a more demanding ball to continue developing their technique and movement around the court.
