Squash 57
Same court, bigger and bouncier ball. Squash 57 is easy to pick up, great for fitness and seriously competitive at the top end — the perfect game for every age and ability.
What is Squash 57?
Squash 57 — previously known as racketball — is played on a standard squash court with a larger 57mm ball and a slightly shorter racket with a bigger head.
The bigger, bouncier ball sits up for longer, so rallies last longer and it's easier to keep the ball in play from your very first game. That makes it ideal for beginners, juniors, players returning to sport and anyone who wants a terrific workout that's a little kinder on the body.
Don't be fooled though — at the top level it's fast, skilful and fiercely competitive.
