Dunlop Pro – Squash Ball for Competition and High-Level Play
Dunlop Pro is the classic double-yellow-dot squash ball, designed for experienced and competitive players who play at a high pace and have well-developed technique. The ball offers a lower bounce and shorter hang time compared with Dunlop Intro and Progress, placing greater demands on the player’s movement, timing and shot technique.
Dunlop Pro is an excellent choice for competitive play, matches and intensive training where players want the traditional playing characteristics of a professional squash ball.
Double Yellow Dot – For Experienced Players
The two yellow dots indicate that Dunlop Pro is a low-bounce ball designed for players who can generate enough pace and heat to keep the ball performing properly.
Compared with easier-to-play squash balls, Dunlop Pro requires a higher playing tempo to reach its optimal performance. Once properly warmed up, the ball provides a consistent and controlled response that is ideal for high-level squash.
Low Bounce for More Demanding Play
Dunlop Pro has a lower bounce and shorter hang time than Dunlop Progress and Intro. This gives players less time between shots and places greater demands on positioning, movement and footwork.
At the same time, the lower bounce allows skilled players to use the entire squash court tactically and put their opponents under pressure with deep drives, drop shots and tight shots along the side walls.
Designed for Matches and Competition
Dunlop Pro is designed for players looking for a ball with consistent response, control and a traditional competition feel.
It is particularly well suited to club and competitive players who have developed sufficient technique and hitting power to keep a double-yellow-dot ball warm during play.
Important to Warm Up the Ball
To achieve the correct bounce, Dunlop Pro needs to be properly warmed up before and during play. This is done by repeatedly hitting the ball against the wall at a relatively high pace.
For beginners, this can make Dunlop Pro unnecessarily difficult to play with. Dunlop Intro or Progress are better alternatives in this case, as they provide a higher bounce and allow for longer rallies at a lower playing tempo.
