I've been playing the same ball in our simulator at work during lunches for the past few months. I finally hit the ball enough that it wasn't playable anymore. I notices a few bumps, almost like pimples, start to bulge out of the ball, and it also sounded pretty dead. I cut open the cover, and this is what I saw. Looks like the core just cracked from fatigue. I don't think I'll ever play a ball on the course for enough holes to cause this to happen, so it was pretty neat to see here.
Maybe I need to play less during my lunch breaks...
