    Roll/Shaved softball bats?

    Anybody have the equipment to roll a bat or shave it? We started our season about 2 weeks ago but only played one game so far since we got rain outs

    I know some people are against shaved bats so you can keep your negative comments if any, fact of the matter is that there's at least 1 shaved bat in every team so why get left behind

    It's a all mens League

    If anyone can do this locally in Houston PM me details

            I don't know if I've even seen a bat in the last 5 yrs in any form of competition that wasn't "rolled". And we have shaved an old miken and it actually narrowed the sweet spot way to much.

            Jmo bat technology has come so far there's really no need in them. A good bat like any of the z-1000 and much newer will easily hit a ball farther than the field will hold.

              What is rolled. Shoot, or guys were strong enough to knock it out of the park with any bat in the dugout.

                Not gonna keep my "negative" comment to myself...

                Hurt someone swinging an illegal bat could get you in some real trouble.. Is your rec softball league really worth it...

                I played high level travel ball all over the country for years and I can honestly say that I never had one of my bats rolled or shaved....

                If you cant hit it right out of the wrapper, you may need to take your panties off!

                      No kidding. Don't be crying when you are facing criminal charges for hurting somebody with an altered bat.

                      With compression on new bats today there is no reason to alter a bat.

                        true statement. I agree with heath, just google it. By the way the best bat I have ever swung was a TPX right out of the wrapper.

                        If you just have to have one check your local craigslist.

                          Agreed. I was pitching last year for our softball team and got drilled right on the left side of my chest right on top of my heart. The bat was a legal bat but if not things could of been a lot worse.

                            I've never heard of this. What is it?

                            I played for 20 years at slo pitch city in Houston.

                              im gonna agree to this moy i played in rec league as well as travel ball to many people get hurt with an altered bat and its obvious when the bat is. Its better to make sure you cover your butt first.

                              Because even if some one else uses your bat and hurts some one you still go down.. Here they do regular bat checks during the games, if your bat fails the compression test they xray it and if it loos odd they cut it. If the bat is legit they replace it if not they turn you in to usssa and they the the local authority's involved for having an illegal bat.

                              Best of luck to you
