  Is there a set distance for each bubble of distance a ball has? Thanks

  No. Every thing seems pretty random to me around here.

  There's no set number that would indicate a determined distance per dot, but you could figure 3 to 6 yards per dot as a general estimation.

  Agreed on +3yds/level (distance bonus dots)

  They are the attiributes of the ball when looking at it in the pro shop. spin, distance, feel...etc

  BTW, you have to take in account loft of the club too.

  Are you talking about the "Spin Dot"?

  This could be a little high, Nikes with 4,5 dots add about 5-6%, so the actual distance dependes on the club you're using. So, a 60y wedge will go for 63, a 115y PW will do around 121, a 160y 7i will go around 168.

  I'd say about 1-1,5 % difference per dot.
