Why should I roll my Bat?
When rolling a bat, it's placed between two rollers of a Bat Roller and then pressure is applied so that as the bat passes through the rollers the bats fibers are stretched out and the glue holding the layers together is broken down. The is the same thing that happens as you take hours of batting practice. This causes the fibers to become more flexible which greatly improves the bat's trampoline effect. This trampoline effect is what produces the batted ball speed and distance. It will also widen the sweet spot of the bat which will make you a more consistent hitter. The below video shows you how composite bats are made and will give you a better idea of what we are talking about.


How long does it take to properly roll a bat?
Each bat from start to finish takes about 15-20 minutes to roll properly. If you look around you'll find videos of bats being rolled in 5 minutes or less. I can assure you that you're NOT getting a good roll in 5 minutes. A lot of these videos are being posted by the self proclaimed "Bat Rolling Authority". This title really makes me laugh. Companies that have 1 year or less experience calling themselves "Authorities". They claim to have done the most research and developed special techniques. What they are really saying is they have time to make the videos and write articles. While they are doing this we're in our shop ROLLING BATS.

Can you briefly explain your bat rolling process?
Most companies determine the maximum rolling pressure and start at that pressure. This is totally incorrect and usually causes durability problems and also potentially causes your paint to spider web prematurely. We roll all bats in 3-4 progressive compression points (depending on the type of bat). After we've rolled your bat it will have 200+ passes through the Bat Roller. Our process takes longer than those charging less but we want you to be happy so we don't cut corners. We DO NOT heat your bat before rolling since it does not provide any additional benefits. In fact it actually hurts the rolling process.

What if my bat has already been used and I think it's broken in?
Even bats the have been used will benefit from our rolling process. We get bats in every week that have 300-400 hits on them and after we get the bats back to the owner they are very surprised with the results. In most cases you haven't properly broken your bat in and after a good rolling your bat will performance at it's highest potential.

What if my bat has been rolled by someone else and I'm not happy with the results?
Every week we see bats come in that have been rolled by some other fly by night company. We have over 4 years of experience rolling bats and you can be rest assured you'll get the best results by using our rolling services. I most cases other companies don't roll your bats properly and you are not seeing the best results. We tell people all the time not to waste their time with guys that promise super results and only charge $20 to roll your bat. I can tell you for sure that for $20 you getting a bad roll job. Our rolling process take longer but the results to our customers make it well worth the extra time we spend with each bat.

Is bat rolling legal?
This is one of the most debated topics on today. All we can do is give you the facts as they stand today. Currently rolling is legal in only 1 slow pitch softball association. This association (ISA) clearly states in their rule book that rolling is legal. In another association (ASA), they have recently adopted a bat certification process that requires all bats to be tested after they have been rolled. This ensures each bat that is certified by them does not exceed their performance factor after being rolling. We interpret this as rolling being legal even though it doesn't specifically say so. In USSSA, they do clearly state rolling is against the rules. Our opinion is that rolling your bat is doing nothing more than taking 500 BP swings. You're just doing it in a more controlled fashion and in a shorter period of time. Our advice to you is to check with your local association or league and find out what their stance is on this subject.

What is your turn around time for rolling?
We will do every bat received the same day it's received and will ship out the following business day. We do offer overnight return shipping but every order includes FREE priority mail return shipping to you.

How do I know my bat was actually rolled?
