SquashXtra: Kit Bag - Eye Balls

Speed through the air, rebound height off the front wall, durability, height of bounce off the floor and texture must all come together in a delicate blend of rubber compound to produce a ball that compliments the dynamic demands of the sport – making it neither too easy nor too difficult.

We took the Eye Ball to the courts to see if it was Lord of the Bounce.

Perhaps the best named ball around – ‘Eye Balls’ – feel slightly heavier off the racket face in comparison to the likes of Dunlop’s industry standard setter and many other balls on the market.

The weight, along with a little added texture, allows greater purchase on short play – leading to increased feeing of control.

The ‘grip’ makes playing those delicate drop shots from mid court a joy but the added weight means that an extra punch is needed to find the perfect length drive when playing the long game.

The slight weight difference results in a lower bounce in the back corners compared to most other balls in the 2-dot market, meaning a well struck drive delivered a satisfactory winner but makes it extra difficult to play a continuos length rally.
