Clear as mud.
Its not clear as mud. Hitting hundereds of balls also will improve BESR. Rolling just breaks in a bat faster and more evenly. Its not technically altering. You can also hit a bat against a tree, hit it wit a mallet, vice it, take it to the cages.... All different forms of the same thing. Should taking a bat to the cages be illegal?
