What is Bat Juicing?

Bat rolling is a proven process using a custom built machine with specifically designed rollers used to apply pressure to a softball or baseball bat. This pressure stretches the composite fibers and resin type glues that different manufacturers use to let the composite fibers expand and work in a trampoline effect, projecting the ball further and faster than a metal type bat. This increase in trampoline effect is what causes the ball to propel off the bat faster and carry further. Bat rolling is a technique that can be done on both new and well used bats. 

Bat rolling was started in late 1999 to early 2000. It really expanded after 2002 throughout the world. Bat rolling is not illegal. The bat eventually breaks in on its own. Rolling a bat simply speeds the "breaking in process". Players in softball or baseball choose to do this to get the most out of the bat right out of the wrapper, before the player out grows the bat or the bat is simply worn out. Contact us today to find out how ProRollers can get the most production out of your bat.

We use a Panther Xtreme to roll all of our bats with and we roll them both perpendicular follow by parallel.  Rolling bats both ways will ensure that the fibers/alloys are stretched evenly in both directions allowing for maximum performance from your bat.  There are no gouges, marks, or dings left on your bats from our rolling service and it does not harm or alter the bat in any way. 

We can roll any type of bat: new, used, composite, metal, softball, or baseball. If you can swing it, we can doctor it up just the way you want.

Why should I choose ProRollers.net LLC bat rolling?
The Panther Xtreme is a parallel/perpendicular rolling machine that does 2 sections of the bat at once as well as the entire barrel in one pass. We pass each section of the bat through the machine 25 times meaning the entire bat gets completely rolled on 4 different compression settings. 

Do you do bat rolling/juicing on metal bats?
We recently ran into someone who showed us a study of double-walled aluminum bats being rolled. A Ph.D. at Kettering University in Flint, MI showed that after hitting a softball with an aluminum double walled bat 500 times, the increase in batted ball speed went up from 95.2 mph to 98.5 mph. So the answer is yes, we will roll/shave your aluminum bats or alloy bats.

Will your bat rolling machines roll big barrel baseball bats (2 5/8" and 2 3/4")?
Yes, most definitely they will!

Juicing: Our bat juicing service consists of parallel rolling, perpendicular rolling, heated parallel rolling followed by perpendicular rolling.  Rolled bats will not make the bat perform at a greater performance than was intended by the manufacturer, it will just get it to the optimum performance level faster.
