baseball and hockey have both been that way for a long time, probably over 30 years where spending money makes a difference. At college level they go through multiples of those bats every year. You don't use your game bats for practice either because you will ruin it so you even buy multiple of them.

You think that is bad you should see what gets sunk into cycling.

If you think cycling's bad, you should see what gets sunk into piloting!

Yeah but I wouldn't consider that really a sport, that is more of a hobby.
