Hi Rafi,

As a general guide rubber could last around 80 hours of play.  So at that rate they should last about 3 to 4 months and still be good.  Of course everyone is different but this is a guide.  A good test is to rub your finger across the rubber and see if it still has good grip.  If you look at the rubber you will see if the surface is starting to get a bit worn.  You will start to see the pimples marks on the surface of the rubber.
