Any squash players, advice needed?

Hi

I used to play squash quite a bit as a teen, I have finally got back into playing squash at my local sports centre.

I just need a little help in which type of ball I should use, I remember the red dot and yellow dot balls, red I think being the faster with more bounce? and yellow a slower, less bounce?

Anyway is there any advice on which I should use on a cold court in the winter months and warm months in the summer?

Is there any over squash balls that will ease me back into the game as I'm very rusty!! , think I read up on a blue dot for novices???

any help much appreciated.

The colours/dots basically refers to the balls speed and bounce, see here: http://www.rdsa.org.uk/toptips/one-spot-or-two-squash-balls-explained

I'd probably start with a red dot ball if you've played a fair bit before. Also depends if you want short or long rallies with lots of running around (blue if you do, double dot yellow if you don't )

hi

Yeah long rallies and lots of running around. So that would be blue dot or is the squash ball blue? , cant say Ive ever seen a blue dot bar the racquet ball type which are larger.

Ive seen these Dunlop Intro and progress balls on Amazon?

Cheers guys, I think I'm going to get some Dunlop progress and Dunlop competition, from what I gather the progress is quite fast with higher bounce and a little bigger in size. The competition is basically a yellow dot.
