Question regarding durability of balls?

  If a certain ball has 1 dot for durability and lasts let's say 3 9-hole rounds, will the ball with 2 dots for durability last 6 rounds? Is it measured like that?

   

  Thx

  No. It's more like every ball has a base of about 75 hits and each dot is another 15 or so hits. (putts don't count.) Figure about 20 hits for 9 holes.

  It varies, depending on the type of ball... but 1 = about 90 (GI-SD); 2.5 = 120 (Callaway)

  There's more exact and detailed info archived in the forums, and you should be able to find the name of a player who has a chart on their profile page
