What is bat shaving?
Bat shaving involves the process of thinning the inner walls of the bat, as seen in the picture below. The goal of the process is to increase the trampoline effect of the bat in relationship to the ball when they make contact. Bat Shaving will greatly increase the amount of distance a ball will travel after being hit. It adds distance to your balls that you never could have imagined. Shaved bats will cause your home runs to be up to 50 feet farther, and your line drives will be through the infield twice as fast. Shaved bats have become quite popular over the last few years, and a lot of people are swinging these shaved bats all the time. They swing them in games, exhibitions, and home run derbies. Shaved bats are fun to have, but we strenuously suggest not to use them in game play. All of our bats are shaved on a $70,000 Haas CNC Lathe which is precision tuned to each bat's specifications since no two bats are exactly alike. When you combine bat shaving with bat rolling, you get the most complete performance modifications you can possibly do to any type of bat.
We use a method of removing the endcap of the bat in a manner that allows us to use the exact same endcap to go back on the bat once we are done with the bat shaving. There are companies you there that will use generic endcaps, poor epoxys, and old fashioned methods of removing endcaps that leave tool marks, not ProRollers. Your bat will look as stock as it can possibly look from the outside again leaving you as the only person who will know it was doctored.
What is bat rolling?
Bat rolling is a proven process using a custom built machine with specifically designed nylon 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 can shave and 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.
What we offer at ProRollers:
All bats listed in the categories below include rolling and shipping in the total price.
We also offer the #1 rated bat rolling machine on the market, the XR-400 Tri-Roller.
What makes us different:
The XR-400 by Panther Machines is the best, most efficient, and safest machine to roll your bats with. The proper bat rolling technique requires rolling the bat perpendicular first, followed by a controlled parallel roll. There are companies out there that will only roll your bat perpendicular. The problem with this technique is that perpendicular rolling does not roll the entire bat evenly. This is where the controlled parallel rolling comes in. The bat needs to be rolled parallel to ensure that the fibers are stretched evenly across the entire barrel leaving no dead spots. Dead spots on the barrel can shorten the lifespan of your bat and lead to cracks. There are others out there who will only roll your bat in the parallel method. The problem with this is that when you roll the entire bat at once and do not roll it perpendicular first is that it does not stretch the fibers correctly which can put stress on the barrel. This is what makes us different from any other bat rolling company. We roll the entire sweet spot of the bat perpendicular first, stretching the fibers correctly, followed by a controlled parallel roll, making sure to hit every inch of the sweet spot. We do each section of the bat with 25 revolutions between the rollers on 4 increasing compression settings, ensuring the bat is COMPLETELY broken in. Others who only roll bats in one direction, meaning either parallel or perpendicular, are not doing a complete job for you, and your bat will suffer in the long run. Trust your bats to the company that proved to all that rolling bats both perpendicular and parallel is the best method.
