Dunlop Progress – Squash Ball for Beginners and Developing Players

Dunlop Progress is a squash ball designed for beginners and recreational players who want to develop their game and prepare for the transition to a faster competition ball. It is slightly larger and has a longer hang time than a traditional competition squash ball, making it easier to maintain longer rallies and practise technique, movement and shot placement.

The Progress ball is a natural step between Dunlop’s introductory ball and the classic Pro ball with two yellow dots.

Longer Hang Time – More Time to Reach the Ball

Dunlop Progress is designed to provide more bounce and a longer hang time than a traditional competition ball. This gives the player more time to move into position, prepare for the shot and reach the ball.

The result is longer rallies and more effective training, particularly for players who are still developing their technique and positioning on the squash court.

Slightly Larger for Easier Playability

The Progress ball is slightly larger than a standard competition squash ball, further contributing to its easier playing characteristics.

The larger size, combined with the higher bounce, makes it easier to get into the game and reduces the need to hit the ball as hard to keep it warm and active.

Excellent for Developing Technique

For players who are relatively new to squash, a professional double-yellow-dot ball can make the game unnecessarily difficult. Dunlop Progress makes it easier to create longer rallies, providing more ball contacts and better opportunities to practise groundstrokes, volleys, serves and movement around the court.

This makes the ball an excellent choice for squash training, lessons and club play at beginner and recreational level.

The Step Towards Dunlop Pro

Dunlop Progress is ideal for players who have moved beyond the initial introduction to squash but are not yet getting the best playing experience from a standard competition ball.

As the player develops greater pace, better technique and the ability to keep the ball warm, the natural next step is a standard Dunlop Pro double-yellow-dot squash ball.

Who Is the Dunlop Progress For?

Dunlop Progress is particularly suitable for beginners and recreational players who want to develop their squash technique with a ball that is easier to play with than a traditional competition ball. The higher bounce and longer hang time provide more time between shots and make it easier to create longer rallies.

This means more ball contacts, better rhythm and more effective training. As the player develops greater pace and improved technique, the transition to a double-yellow-dot competition ball becomes much easier.

Dunlop Progress is an excellent choice for players who want to develop their squash game and take the next step towards playing with a traditional competition ball.
