Baseball and Softball parents: How to choose the best company to roll your bat

When it comes to choosing the best company to roll your bat, as Baseball and Softball parents, you might be wondering how you can tell if one business is better than the next.

At ProRollers, we have been in business 19 years and so we have seen companies come and go.

While we hope you choose us, we also want Baseball and Softball parents to do homework when you are choosing the best company to roll a bat. The first thing you should do is to look at the company’s history and track record. How long have they been around? Do they have an active website and social media presence? Do they have good reviews on sites like Yelp or eBay?

If that all checks out, take a look at the pictures they post. Are they able to back up their statements and claims?

At ProRollers, we post actual pictures of the bats we roll. First, we post pics of the starting compression number (that’s the hardness or stiffness of the barrel) and then after we expertly roll the bat, we post a picture of the ending compression number.

We do this by using a certified gauge that is standard equipment at many tournaments and schools (high school baseball and fast pitch and men’s slow pitch) to test that a bat isn’t too “hot” to use. Many bat rolling companies don’t use these gauges because they are expensive and you don’t really need them to roll the bat. But you can’t see that a bat is properly broken in like you can with a glove; you have to see the before-and-after compression numbers to ensure the job has been done properly.

This is a big deal! You want proof that the job was done – and done right.

Finally, when you are looking for the best company to roll your bat, make sure they back up their work with a guarantee. We have ones that ensure your bat was rolled properly in case of a defect or malfunction. This is what makes us different – and better.
