- Last season saw a further expansion of interest in Hardball Singles
play from new as well as long dormant hardballers, the hardball doubles
communities and PSA professionals.
We saw increased participation on the traditional 18.5 foot wide
hardball courts, especially at the U.S. SQUASH Hardball National
Championships in NYC, with a large Open Draw won by Preston Quick, our
US Squash Hardball representative over a field of impressive PSA and
ISDA professionals, fueled by the prize money we offered from the
Hardball Singles Squash Restricted fund.
There was also increased experimentation and hardball singles play on
the wider, 21 foot "international" courts, with the green, Austral ball.
Anyone wanting/needing an Austral ball to play or experiment with can
get one by contacting Tefft Smith at 202 879 5212 or
tsmith@kirkland.com.
Thank you for your support of Hardball Singles and U.S. SQUASH.
