Abstract
The present invention is directed to a squash ball warming oven. The warming oven has an internal convection heat source capable of maintaining a constant temperature over long periods of time. Removable wire racks are mounted within the warming oven. The wire racks have indentations sized and shaped to hold squash balls. Arranging the squash balls in indentations on the wire rack prevents them from touching while warming, resulting in rapid and even warming. By gently and evenly warming squash balls, performance of the ball is easily improved for players of all levels.
