Dunlop Elite Doubles Hard Ball 12-Ball Squash Box

The Dunlop Elite Doubles (Hard Ball) is the industry standard for competitive Hardball Doubles, a variant of squash played primarily in North America on larger courts. Unlike standard "softball" squash balls, these are engineered to handle the extreme speeds and high-impact conditions of the doubles game.

A 12-Ball Box provides a bulk supply for clubs, tournaments, or frequent players, ensuring a consistent rotation of high-quality equipment.

Specialized Hard Ball Construction

• Compound: Made from a high-density, durable rubber that is significantly harder and more rigid than the standard Pro (Double Yellow Dot) balls.
• Color Profile: Traditionally a deep blue ball often marked with a white dot or red dot (for high-altitude versions), making it highly visible against the white or glass walls of a doubles court.
• Temperature Resilience: Specifically designed to maintain a consistent bounce and speed in all court temperatures, as doubles matches don't allow for the same "warm-up" downtime as singles.

High-Velocity Performance

• Flight Speed: These balls are designed for a much faster game. In Hardball Doubles, the ball can reach speeds exceeding 170 mph, requiring the ball to be structurally reinforced to prevent splitting or deforming on impact.
• Low Hang-Time: While they bounce immediately, they are designed to "skid" and stay low off the walls, challenging the players' reflexes and positioning.

Surface & Durability

• Non-Marking: Despite its hardness, the rubber is formulated to be non-marking to protect the specialized glass and panel walls of doubles courts.
• Grip Retention: The "Elite" series is known for maintaining its outer texture longer. Once a hardball becomes "shiny" from wear, it loses its predictable flight; these balls are engineered to resist that smoothing effect.

Why Buy the 12-Ball Box?

• Tournament Standard: Most competitive doubles matches require a brand-new ball for every session. A 12-pack is the most cost-effective way to meet these requirements.
• Consistency: Using balls from the same batch/box ensures that the bounce and weight remain identical throughout a practice session or tournament bracket.
• Economic Value: Buying in bulk typically offers a significant discount compared to purchasing individual balls at pro-shop prices.
