First
and foremost, if you search enough on the
internet you will find cheaper prices, but
in this industry you get what you pay for.
There's no way that someone with an $80k
machine is going to only charge $60 to do
the work, trust me it isn't worth it for
shops that have high end equipment to do so.
The other big thing to keep in mind is the
end cap work, my end cap work is second to
none. So good you can't even tell it's been
off that is why I offer to take pictures of
the work upon request. Some day I will
update my site with emails asking me to fix
someone else's work. If there's a bat I
don't offer or something you're looking for,
email me and I'll see what I can do to get
it.

or questions on a rolled bat and/or shaved
bat (juiced bat).
With more and more people looking
for something to give them that extra edge
when they are up to bat, shaved bats are
finding their way into more ball parks than
ever before. However; the cost of a shaved
bat can vary depending on the quality of the
job that is done on it. That's right, there
is high quality shaved bats and cheap home
spun shaved bats and there is quite a
difference between the two of them. We offer
a legitimate professional bat shaving, bat
end loading, and bat rolling
service and will even redo a bat if it is
too heavy or too light or if you feel it
isn't performing up to what you feel it
should.
Use the Best
Why would you take a chance on a cheap
shaved bat? When you step up to the plate
with your juiced bat you want it to deliver
the full potential that a good quality
shaved bat can. A good quality rolled bat
and shaved bat
can add any where from forty to seventy feet in distance to
your hits. A cheap shaved bat can result
with an embarrassing end cap flying off or
poor performance.
Experience Counts
Before a bat is shaved it should be
rolled. If the bat is new or used it still
can be rolled and shaved, depending on how
used it is determines if it needs to be
rolled or not but defiantly can still be
shaved. Bat rolling and bat shaving should be done by someone
who is experienced at doing this. Its not
something that you need a science degree to
do, but at the same time, you want to have
someone do it has done it for some time and
has a good feel for it. Also, end loading a
bat helps the performance of the bat, the
more end load you can handle to farther,
faster the ball will go, but there are many
people out there that do not like the feel
of an end loaded bat, we can make the bat
either end loaded or balance. Personal
preference is most important because if
you're not comfortable with your bat you
will not perform well with it.
A Quality Job
Now, if you want a good shaved bat
(juiced bat) and rolled bat you really want
someone with a higher level of expertise to
do the job. Its a fairly delicate procedure
when it is done right and it also requires
some specialized machinery to do properly. A
high quality rolled bat and shaved bat is like a fine tuned
instrument.
What you don't want, is a bat that
someone has popped open and went at it with
a barrel sander on the end of a drill
extension. It may look OK with the naked
eye, but the shaved sides of the bat will be
uneven and won't deliver the
results that a professionally shaved bat,
and precision tuned rolled bat will.
