Less hook and weak hitting power are the 2 main indicators.

A rash of unexpected 7-10s or 8-10s (righty) or 7-9s(lefty) are unwelcome surpises that say, ball needs immediate attention.

Do not ditch a "dead" ball; 99% can be resuscitated.

I'd say that is quite a few. Depending which Company the balls are from. that could be a "Hail of a Lot of Games."

500 !! it must be dead, if you put more than 5 revs on the ball.  I usually keep balls up to 250, after that, trash em.

Depending on the type of ball 500 games could be considered a bunch.  If a particle ball has 500 games on it, I would say this is quite a bit.  I have an HPD with thousands of games, it is stilling hooking.  I have never had a ball quit on me.  I have a Werewolf with thousands on it as well.  Generally, reactive balls will hold up better than particles.
