Rolled bats ??
what's the deal with rolled bats. Does it work and more important will it void the warrenty ??
Is it altering the bat or even cheating.

Rolled bats ??
I would think that if your bat manufacturer knew that the bat was rolled they wouldn't honor the warrenty.

There is an ongoing debate about wether or not it is altering. In effect it breaks in a bat quicker than actually using in games or bp.
