How to Tell When a Squash Ball is Worn Out (Bounce, Texture, Cracks)

Knowing when to replace your squash ball ensures optimal performance and consistent gameplay. Here are key signs indicating your ball might be worn out:

Reduced Bounce: If the ball doesn't bounce as high or as consistently as it used to, it’s likely time for a replacement.

Texture Changes: A ball with a smooth, worn-out texture indicates significant wear and will impact your control and spin.

Visible Cracks: Any noticeable cracks or splits on the ball surface clearly indicate it's time to replace the ball immediately.

Regularly checking your squash ball for these signs helps maintain your performance and ensures safe and enjoyable play.
