ryno,
All balls (with the exception of the free WGT starters) have a durability rating and will eventually expire after a certain amount of hits (excluding the putter). Durability is represented by a graphical bar that is displayed to the right of the ball in the game. Have a look through the Balls Section of the FAQ to see some photo examples. The FAQ will answer a lot of your questions as well. =)
