See the full article for a discussion on the differences in exit speeds.
Disclaimer: It is illegal to shave your bat. Not just from a league rules standpoint, but likely from a state/federal criminal stand point. If someone were to get injured by your shaved bat then you will could face real prosecution. We condemn the use of shaved bats for any purpose. This video is for informational purposes only in helping leagues understand the prevalence of shaved bats.
Here we test a shaved bat vs a non shaved bat. These are two identical bats but one has been shaved and the other has not. We found the shaved bat way outperformed the non-shaved bat. In our HR derby we found it hit 10 home runs to a normal bats 6. In terms of total distance it wasn't really close. Exit speeds
I just tested this on my sandwich. I found that if you use less ham, the sandwich is actually lighter, but I could eat it faster.
I thought the main purpose of shaving a bat was not necessarily to make it lighter but to make walls of the barrel more flexible giving it more trampoline effect, and more pop
“A shaved bat is lighter”
you don’t say
Yea when I went to Cooperstown 3 kids on my team never hit a homer before so they decided to shave their bats. They were now crushing balls over the fence because of the bat but a naked eye would think the kids were good. I was over here using a very legal bat and hit 2 homeruns. Its disgusting
"A shaved bat can crush a ball" hence why people do it.
What??? A shaved bat is lighter? Holy poop snoot!!!
Lmao
LamBeau Leeper lol 😝
A shaved bat swings lighter...no way?!?! Wonder why that is??
Everytime you hit a ball in the air, you owe me 10 pushups
But he beefed up in the off-season
"With your speed you should be hittin it on the ground n leggin em out!"
Always made me wonder why a travel team we went up against had about 5 kids with the same model of bat in their bag, but half the team used only one of those 5 at the plate.
Was that team from Fairhope Alabama?
They probably all used makos
My travel team all uses Easton Ghost X’s same batting gloves everything so I don’t know if it’s just some teams do that but obviously we don’t shave our bats
2017 Demarini CF Zen is a hot bat in 5 Drop. My son's U13 team went up against a team that the first 5 kids used the same bat and each proceeded to warning track the hits to LF & CF. That bat was juiced and my son's team was crushed
Why not use wood? I think all kids need to go back to wood or composite. Especially after age 12. EDIT: when I say composite, I mean wood composite not metal. Also new bat regulations for metal have the made them very close to wood in ball flight. Still nothing like the sound or feel of wood when you hit it right.
Ryan Allen big facts
Ryan Allen tbh USA bats are awful I tried using one and it was way worse than wood
Gotta love a good bat crack
Guys all over softball fields across the nation buy 300 dollar bats then invest 150 bucks more to shave and roll an alloy. Back in the day you would never ever see a man wearing a hockey helmet, catcher shin guards and a protective vest while pitching. Now the balls are juiced and the bats keep getting faster and scientifically better, harder, stronger. Its absolutely nuts.
I agree 100% shaving or any tampering is pathetic but the balls hit in slowpitch now days aren't a fraction of the cor or compression of 20 years ago now all the bats are hotter and the balls are softer.
It's not that much to get a bat cut, nor are new bats that much. And no one cuts alloy bats. Mostly composites
About $85 to cut and roll a bat. Can’t shave Alloy. It’s a competitive advantage......until you get caught. Then it’s called cheating.
Thanks for this. Wanted to see if the added distance claims were legit. 20-30 feet is crazy! I wold like to see exit velo comparison. Thanks.
@Everyday Stuff Nah Doing sit ups and squats. It's all in the lower body
nice comparison, wish you could have slowed the video down a bit to see the difference in distance. BTW love your channel !
very good your video, please let me know where I can buy the machine to measure the compression of the bats
Strange. The bat hit, music notes for the bats is D and F, tone change from shaving the bat. I'm guessing the higher the note the less the bat weighs.
Fascinating.
The sound of the shaved bat was perfect 👌
The whole video grounder pop out grounder keeps repeating
1:30 Let the satisfying sounds begin
who would've guessed that a shaved bat is lighter than one that isn't??😂😂
Drop five ghost x is by far the best drop five you can get period. My step son hit twenty over with it 300ft fences.
In my opinion the -3 2017 zen is the best ever bat
gettindown40 what’s the difference between the Easton ghost x gold trim and the silver?
Where did you get you compression tester
Most of the team's in Cooperstown dreams park have a shaved bat. If a player cant hit it out of those ball parks with a regular bat, then they suck! Much props to the kids who are the real deal and hit dingers with normal bats.
And btw lol the batting time sounds almost like a song xd
Do you have a Demarini cf zen green drop 5

I did it to my 2018 Demerini Zen and it snapped in half in 3 months
He’s the dude that hits pop ups from major leaguers
After having my daughter’s 2019 LOUISVILLE PXT shaved (only) professionally at the “aggressive” level, I got it back and hit it a few times with a ball mallet and rotated the bat throughout the process but now sounds like there’s a little sand in it. Is this ok? If you know, please respond. Thank you in advance.
Send it back.. it's done for!
Nah man it's not! Be very careful using that in ASA/USSSA events.... Most of the time they have a compression tester on site and if they suspect tampering they will test the bat and eject the player for game/season/life.... Depending on leagues rules.
The bats fine I'm sure they just left some Slag in there from the Lathe.
Was I the only who thought meant shaving an actual bat and was moderately confused by the thumbnail? No?
I'll see myself out.
My dad did.
Can you do am exit velocity demo on these bats?
3mph better. See our website for the article.

Shaving the bat is illegal in most leagues but also if you hurt someone because of it....i.e. line dive, shattering it...etc. it is also a criminal offense. It's just not worth it.
100 percent adds distance and speed to any hit
How many mils r u taking out..?And what do u think is the max..?..
Did he just bat flip and watch it to make sure It did not hit the other bat 😂😂😂😂😂
Who else loves the noise of a good hit?
too bad we didn’t get to hear that sound during the video
Shaved bats are for people who can’t hit. Smh
CallMe George nah, for people who want to hit bombs. Not necessarily they can’t hit. sMh oMg
Why is this in my recommended
But very interesting
My man said that shaving a bat makes it swing faster which it does but it makes the bat more holo and takes out the shaving that makes the bat heavier and makes the ball for more of a trampoline effect so if u hit a ball 250 with a normal bat a shaved bat will give up to 50- to even 90 more feet so u actually could hit it like 300-330
Good advice.
@@batdigest ty
Shaving bats is illegal in my league
What if a pitcher got seriously hurt because of cheating tactics?
Sally's travel ball teams use these to hit dingers
Yes, shaving a bat works. It's also ILLEGAL
well no shit that was implied
Next time have someone with actual power 😂 this was tough to watch
☠️☠️
Nice work on that bat!
how much money do you have to waste 350 on a bat that you won't ever use
But if u shave would it dent easily
Best drop five on the planet 🌎 that bat doesn't need shaved or anything. The damn thing launches missiles
Play at 2x
You're welcome
Safety razor & a flying bat?
wait the sandlot was filmed in utah... i live right by the field whatta lol
I played against this puerto rican kid who had a shaved cf8 it was that super green one
Why is this a suggested video for me. Lol kind of neat but super random.
Can you make a vid on best usa bats or bbcor bats for 2019 season
We will. Not all the bats are available yet. Expect to see it in October. Thanks for watching.
@@batdigest what's your take on 2019 (-10) USA demarini cf zen and voodoo?
No es el bat es el mono maybe getting someone who can swing will really test it out
Shut up Meg
We finally saw ur face!!!
Swing is nice
Jesus Christ how many fucking professional hitters watched this?
Might as well had me swinging the bats...
One kid on the other team I was playing in Cooperstown hit a home run on a half swing with a 23 ounce shaved bat and all the parents on my team said “what the ****,” and one of the parents slammed a chair against the wall.
Wow a kid got a home on a t ball field off of a coach pitch!
Wow!
...
Is shaving bats legal in usa baseball
No!
Nice. Thanks for the good video and edit
Great vid btw. Awesome analogy
Infield should probably play on the grass when this guy is hitting. Then they wouldn’t have to move to catch the weak pop flies.
Dude your swing is fine and it's obvious that these guys hating probably hit a double in JV ball once and quit the team cause the guy playing their spot on varsity had the "last name" and got "special treatment." I'm confident in saying I know baseball well and have played, coached, and studied baseball enough to tell you that have no reason to question your abilities.
Bruh you only said Bat not witch bat could of told us atleast
Sounds like a -5 zen
A shaved bat is the next best thing to taking steroids. It's a well kept secret and I'm pretty sure every guy in the softball league I play in has had their bats shaved. Why am I wasting my time lifting weights trying to build strength the natural way to gain distance? If I'm the only guy on the field with a unshaven bat I'm at a huge disadvantage. I will be looking into finding someone who will turn my bat into a ball crushing weapon of mass home run destruction.
Open the top of the bat up and fill it with super balls or tennis balls you will see some shit. We did it in highschool and it was great
that kids swing is not doing it for him
Thanks, Shauna.
It would probably work, but you gotta catch them first
I’ve played there before
How about you hit the gym, ive been using -3 since i was 13
I bet you have a 156 batting average
All these bombs and not a single popped chain 😭
That sound thou
Compare that shaved bat to a USA bat .He might have just hit one homerun.
In slow pitch softball we shave bats all the time , not to be assholes it just makes the sport more fun & more competitive
how do you shave a bat
You have to get it done on a machine. Most end up buying a shaved bat from a company that does this. We have an article on our site. It is highly illegal, btw. Just so you know, it is not just against most league rules. But, likely, against state and federal rules too.
Bic 😆
how you shave a bat is.....well first you have to be insecure as a player and don't want to put in the hard work to get better. instead you want to take a shortcut. followed by thinking you are great as a hitter and omitting the fact you are using an illegal bat
I was just asking a question because i was confused on the process, not gonna do it
Georgia Bandits exclusive
I thought they would literally shave an actual bat.the animal
So why make a video showing people?
Why not? Because people will get bad information elsewhere.
😢 Big business!
Guaranteed... this kid is sneaking the shaved bat into games. I also agree with earlier post regarding teams using only one bat. There’s a reason for it, never a coincidence. Ohio Spiders organization well known for the single bat during game play. They’ve been caught cheating consistently.
Baseball satisfaction
Hi
BigBossPlayz hi
i like the pop outs 👎🏿🤩
Its NOT the bat its the HITTER. CMON
nb brooks the hitter can hit 380ft but the bat will as another 30 ft creating 410ft.
nb brooks Yes it is. But the ghost x drop five is the best bat you can get period. My step son hit twenty out last season 300ft fences
A shaved bat will add exit speed and distance to a ball. Makes a good hitter into a great hitter.
The way things are made now, it's definetly the bat. Not like it used to be
No. It's the bat. This kids mechanics are terrible.
God bless
If your shaved bat swings lighter you have no clue what you're doing!!!
I bet you threw that bat away afterwards right?!?!
Ghost Ex
Wow...what a waste of time.
Ugh swing and bat
Lol I play there
Sound the same
shaving a bat is breaking federal law
Nice swing kid
I probably shouldn’t say this but I cork all my bats
