My toro has at least 1500 runs on it, got the handle replaced and that's probably good to go .
A lot depends on quality of balls, I only use my bats in matches, I've not netted for a couple of years now,apart from the odd indoor with bola machine
I used a phantom in matches last year, but didn't play many games, probably 30ish including Sunday friendlies
If I was netting more, I'd probably have something specific for that
Just to avoid potential damage
I did break a coupla bats or three last year, so I'm hoping my new ones at least get me through the season
Got a lot more games to play this year. Due to league re structure
