What is Bat Rolling?

https://www.bigdawgbatrolling.com/ Everyone knows by now that the longer you hit a composite bat the better it performs but everyone does not know about the speedy bat break-in process known as bat rolling. This procedure is a quicker way to break in a bat; otherwise known as ABI (accelerated break-in). A new composite bat has layers of fibers that are held together by resin. The resin will “break down” when pressure is placed on the bat; by striking a ball or bat rolling. The bat is placed between 3 rollers (most articles will say 2 rollers because they do not roll bats, just write articles), 2 upper rollers and 1 lower roller. There is a handle on the top of the bat rolling machine to crank the top 2 rollers down to add the needed pressure. The side handle is used to run the bat through the roller either perpendicular or parallel. The pressures are determined by the roller operator or he gets his maximum pressures from a bat rolling guide. Once the bat has been rolled around and through the rollers the composite fibers are now loosened and more flexible. This increased flex will cause a trampoline effect propelling a batted ball further. Stretches and breaking up the resin fibers will also lengthen the sweet spot of a bat. Here are the 3 big questions I hear about bat rolling the most.
