Doctored Bats 101
What are the ways to doctor a
bat?
The 2 most common types of
Doctored Bats are either by shaving or rolling. Shaving
a bat is done by removing the end cap and shaving the inner wall
of the barrel. Rolling is the safest way but shaving will
provide you with the greatest performance increase. Rolling your
bat is done by rolling the bat through two rollers which will
increase the trampoline effect of the bat. This will improve the
batted ball speed by approximately 5-8%. This equates to 20-40
feet. One commonly used method that is used along with shaving
is end loading. By adding weight to the end cap when it's
removed you will change the balance point of the bat. This extra
weight in the end allows the barrel get through the hitting zone
quicker.
Can you quickly summarize Bat Rolling for me?
Sure, Bat Rolling is done with a Bat Rolling Machine.
If you visit our products page you'll see what bat rollers look
like. When you roll your bat you are breaking down the resin
that binds the composite fibers that make up your bat. Rolling
accomplishes what would normally take 500-700 hits on the bat.
The advantages are you don't have to spend hours of batting
practice and you eliminate the wear and tear on your bat. Bat
Rolling is the preferred altering process as it does not effect
your warranty and there is not way to tell the bat has been
rolled..
How does doctoring effect my bat?
On average you'll see improvements anywhere from 5-8mph on the
batted ball speed. This equates to 20-40 feet more distance. It
doesn't stop there. The improve batted ball speeds will allow
those infield hits get to the outfield quicker. When you shave
your bat you are thinning the walls out and this will effect the
durability of the bat greatly. It will also void the warranty of
your bat and you will not be able to send it back should you
have any issues with it. Rolling a bat does not effect the
durability of the bat and you will maintain your warranty. For
this reason again we recommend rolling a bat vs. shaving. Most
associations have rules regarding altering and we recommend that
you contact them regarding the specifics.
Why should I doctor my bat?
Generally, doctoring your bat will make it perform at a
significantly higher level than it normally would. This allows
you to concentrate on your swing vs. having to worry about
swinging hard and maintaining the proper swing mechanics. A
doctored bat will provide about 5-8% more batted ball speed and
this equates to 20-40 feet of additional distance. In case you
didn't know most higher level players have ALL of their bats
doctored in some fashion. If you want to compete at a higher
level you must have a doctored bat. It's like going to a gun
fight with a knife.
