Reply to "Bat rolling Good or Bad???"

I copied this from RJM from another thread.


NFHS rules on bats are as follows:

"Rule 1 Section 3 Articles 2-5 provide bat specifications. In short, all bats must have the BESR certification, which regulates the size and weight as well as the exit speed ratio. In short, non-wood bats must be 36" or shorter, with a maximum 2 5/8" diameter, and cannot weigh more than 3 ounces less than the bat length (in inches), as certified by the manufacturer at shipping. Alterations are illegal, particularly those that cause the bat to no longer meet the designed size, weight, and BESR performance."

Rolling a bat can improve BESR (Bat Exit Speed Ratio) performance beyond standards, therefore, this process is illegal. Research on metal and composite bats at Kettering shows a dramatic increase in BESR when juiced."



Clear as mud.
