Now granted, I never bought a $300 bat, most were in the $80-100 range, so maybe the more expensive bats last longer.

Sam, go ahead and sound condescending... we know you well enough on this board... you're allowed...
Anyhow, the expensive bats are sold on their supposed ability to impart more energy to the ball, which somehow is based in this high-tech design, which somehow seems to make the bat
less durable, not more.
So, they sell you on the advantage that is "worth" the extra $150 or so, and then in order to keep this "advantage" ya gotta buy a new one every couple of years because the "pop" leaks out. Excellent marketing, even if the physics of it are dubious.
