| Jan. 5 garyheifner 653 posts | Shaved Bats Long discussion below-so rather than tag along-- Question-If bats had a solid end wouldn't that solve the problem. For U bat experts-Is it possible to make a senior bat without a removable end cap? |
| Jan. 8 PoollShark Men's 50 90 posts | Shaved Bats Of course it's possible, sanctioning bodies won't do it. They all have deals with the bat companies(even if they won't admit it), too much money at stake. |
| Jan. 8 mck71 Men's 60 352 posts | Shaved Bats Technically Gary, if they have end caps that are removable then it would be easier to shave but then likewise also easier to check if shaved? Seems this is a better solution to cutting the bat open whereas it would now be destroyed if legal? If you could get the end cap off to check legality, worst case is having to put the end cap back on if legal which if done correctly is NOT considered an altered bat, correct? |
| Jan. 8 Bruce M Men's 55 140 posts | Shaved Bats Hi Gary - Is it possible? Well, anything is possible. However, that is not the way composite bats are made today. Please view this, courtesy Dave Valasquez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt-z96nLXNs&t=4s It will give you an idea of how composite bats are made. I don't think the overall process has changed that much. I'm certainly not an expert, though. |
