From what I've seen, it depends. I've seen guys just give old stuff out to junior bowlers at tour stops, Danny Wiseman has been known to sell some tour-used stuff on eBay, I believe Jeff Carter sells his old stuff to proceed charity, Dale Traber eats his old stuff. It really depends.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

I'd say that the number one way pros get rid of it is just giving it away to junior bowlers at tour stops...

Being a Junior, I've experienced this generousity firsthand...
