The 2 most common ways of doctoring a bat is either by shaving or rolling. Shaving a bat is done by removing the end cap and shaving the inner wall of the barrel. Rolling is the safest way but shaving will provide you with the greatest performance increase.

Bat Rolling and Juicing is being done by 99% of the top travel teams. If you've ever been to a tournament and seen a 5' 6" guy hitting 350' bombs you know it's with a juiced bat. Composite bats get better with use and by rolling or juicing your bat you make your bat perform at it's highest level much quicker and in a control way vs. take hours of BP.

In general any composite bat will benefit from being rolled. Due to the makeup of the carbon fiber layers that make up a composite bat every composite bat gets better with use. By rolling your bat you break your bat in a more controlled environment.
