We have been discussing ball durability at Lakeside. Here’s a page I found on
the discussion:

And here’s an article on the TOP outdoor ball that we purchased 100 of. We are
down to eighty after about two and a half weeks of use

I guess we will simply have to budget high for outdoor pickleballs in the
future.
Another discussion we had today was on when to start, as it was mighty hot on
the courts by 10:30AM today. We talked about starting at 8AM, however the
forecast for tomorrow is for sun and clouds with a high of 24, so we’ll leave
it at 9AM for now.
