im not out to just beat the hell out of it, heres a good example:

i play lacrosse, and i purchased a tank of a stick, because i know that when im on the field i dont have to worry about breaking it. no second thoughts to affect my gameplay.

so what im saying is that i will feel much more comfortable with something that i wont have to worry about breaking (and im paranoid). plus i dont have the best track record with breaking stuff.

edit: btw, im 6'0", 185 lbs. at 16 y.o.
