Best Squash Ball for Long-Term Stress Ball Use?
Hey everyone,
I know this might sound a bit unusual, but I actually use squash balls mostly as stress balls rather than for playing squash.
For years I’ve been using Dunlop double yellow dot balls because I absolutely love the feel:
the dry rubber texture,
the progressive compression,
and the strong elastic rebound when squeezing them in my hand.
I usually keep one at home, one at work, and one in my backpack.
The problem is that after several years of constant squeezing/stress use, one of my Dunlop balls finally started developing a small crack along the seam/joint line.
So now I’m looking for recommendations:
Is there any squash ball brand that lasts longer than Dunlop for this kind of heavy hand squeezing use?
Or maybe a racquetball/stress ball alternative with a very similar feel but much better durability?
I’d like to keep that same “premium rubber” sensation if possible.
Thanks!
