Why Should I go with Big Dawg Bat Rolling?
I have been playing softball and baseball for over 30 years now and I understand the game and the equipment. The passion I have for the game will go into the services I offer for your bat. I continually conduct research in order to stay current with bat manufactures, doctoring techniques and associations' rules and regulations.
I only show a small part of the rolling process because posting a 15-20 minute video would take a huge amount of time (and once you have seen 2-3 passes perpendicular it gets a little repetitive).

What
Types of Bats do you Roll?
We do bat rolling on any kind of composite, aluminum, or alloy bat as long as there are no cracks on the
bat. We can roll baseball, fastpitch, and slowpitch bats. None of these bats are a problem to roll.
What Kinds of
Bats do you Shave?
Email us and we will give you an answer to that question because some bats just cannot be shaved and we do not want you to send in a bat we cannot modify. Others will say they can shave all types of bats but in some cases you will get back an unshaved bat claiming to be shaved.
Is Bat Rolling
or Bat Shaving going to effect the Cosmetics of my bat?
Bat Rolling:
Your bat will look the same as when it was sent in.*
Bat Shaving:
Your bat will Look the same as when it was sent in except the inside of the barrel will have groove marks from bat shaving.*
*Some bats could have paint chipping or creasing which does not effect integrity of the bat
Will my Bat(s) be Less Durable after Bat Rolling
or Bat Shaving?
Bat Rolling:
Rolling takes 500-700 hits of life off your bat, but it will be
broken in consistently around the barrel. Normal break in (hitting 500-700 balls) will likely leave dead spots in the bat.
Bat Shaving:
Shaving takes out material from
the inner wall of the sweet spot of the bat, so the answer is yes. It is hard to gauge exactly how much life is taken out of
the bat but based on experience it is around 1000-1500 hits (ref. A Miken Freak has about 3000-4000 hits of life out of the wrapper
with no alterations)
**BigDawg Bat Rolling recommends using a rolled or shaved bat in temperatures above 65 degrees; most manufactures recommend the same. The bat is not the problem it is the cold balls used. Elastic properties of baseballs and softballs change significantly with temperature and humidity changes.
Do you Ship to FPO/APO addresses Priority?
