What is a "squash ball"?
A squash ball is a small, rubber ball used in the sport of squash. Squash balls are designed to be bouncy, but their bounce decreases as the ball warms up from impact with the walls and floor. Typically, they come in different types marked with colors, with each type offering a different level of bounce. The ball is struck by players using rackets, and the goal is to hit the ball against the front wall in such a way that the opponent cannot return it before it bounces twice on the floor.
Examples
She hit the squash ball with precision, aiming for the front wall.
Her squash ball bounced twice before reaching the front wall.
