Where to buy durable cat toys?

I have a large, active male cat with a strong prey drive. He loves the classic feathers attached to a stick toy, but he plays very rough, and after one play session our new toy is in tattered feathers strewn around the room. He has very strong jaws and is very fast- if he gets it in his mouth, it's all over. His grip is like steel, and I can't break it. Since I doubt I'll be developing superhuman speed or strength any time soon, where can I find more durable cat toys?

Update:

I already own several handmade toys, but am at a loss as to how to make a stronger feather stick. He doesn't play with catnip pockets or things like that, so the feather stick is a must.

    Most toys that are sold in stores are basically cheap crap and will only hold up to the most docile of cats. Homemade is way better. Toys that are crocheted can almost last forever. If you know someone that has basic crochet skills, they can chain-stitch something that you can drag around. My daughter made one for our cats and attached jingle bells to it. The cats like it better than anything from the store.

    There are many options for do-it-yourself cat toys - think about your skills and think outside the box.

    Make them; take a sox, fill it with rags and catnip, and tie the end. Easy and inexpensive. GREAT QUESTION.
