I did not want to place my bat rolling companys name to just any kind of bat rolling machines. So I did extensive study on bat rollers, the mechanics of bat rollers, and all companies and their feedback. This was about a 5 month process. I was surprised to learn some of the information I received.The thing that sticks out the most was that Juiced Inc. was the earliest builders of these bat rolling machines, a venture that began in 2003. They are rightfully the "original bat rollers" as their website states. They have registered for a patent on the actual procedure of bat rolling, which encompasses all facets of the industry of bat rolling. What did that mean to me? It meant that by going with juiced Inc. bat rolling machines I would be legally bat rolling when the patent is sanctioned (which is in the last stage). This, however, was not the sole reason I chose to go with juiced Inc., there were a lot.When I did my study I also concentrated on the mechanics of the bat rolling machines, ultimately which one was the easiest to use and made to last. I know other bat rollers in my town that roll in parking lots, so I got to look at some of these other machines first hand. The oddest bat rolling machine I saw was the one where you need to use wrenches to compress the rollers, what a problem. I also saw a roller that I thought was the 200PCCR that I had been using but it was a knock off. Everything was just like the 200PCCR except for the 7 inch roller instead of the 6 inch roller the 200PCCR has. It was kind of like Vanilla Ice and his song that stole Queens' Under Pressure beat; Quoting Vanilla Ice, Its doo doo doo doo doodoo doo doo doo and theirs is ding ding ding ding ding da ding ding. Hear that extra beat? It is still hilarious, I don't care who you are. When I spoke to Juiced Inc. they said they had experimented with different size rollers and the 6 inch performed best on the sweetspot. When bat companies declare the entire barrel is the sweetspot they are twisting the truth. When you open up a bat and look inside bats have a 9 inch sweetspot at the max. What that means is there is less composite wrapping located towards the taper and end cap. The taper area is actually a layering of composite creating a joint in which the resin needs to stay intact. If the resin breaks up in this area the bat is susceptible to breaks. The end cap area has a significantly less amount of composite because an area needs to be milled out for the end cap placement. If a roller bigger than 6 inches is used it puts too much pressure on the end cap area and taper area reducing the longevity of the bat.Durability was a huge deal for me because I had two bat rolling machines break before I got the 200PCCR. I had the bearings wear out around 200 bats rolled and I had the actual roller separate from the bar on the other after 300 bats. I was high and dry with 2 broken bat rolling machines, neither bat rolling machine person (I will not call them a company) would fix or replace my bat rolling machine. So then I bought the 200PCCR and 1200 bats later the roller had a small wave in it and the roller was starting to drag. I contacted Juiced Inc. and after a week I had new rollers and they did something to fix the drag (Juiced has now upgraded their rollers and bearings, this will be a problem of the past). I was impressed with the guarantee and that I had no issues when I asked to get it repaired. This experience stayed with me and I remembered it while looking for a credible and worthy bat rolling machine company to market on my website.I talked to a few bat rolling companies before deciding and Juiced Inc. had the most going for them. The patent pending is a big deal for anyone who buys, sells, or rolls bats. It would make it illegal to sell or roll a bat with any other bat rolling machine. So if you have another companies bat rolling machine, when this patent goes through, you will not be able to market or continue rolling legally with that bat rolling machine. As far as customer service, they are the only bat rolling machine company to offer a lifetime guarantee on their machines (A guarantee speaks volumes) No other company will come close to that. They are that confident in the modifications and upgrades to their bat rollers. This spoke volumes when making an educated choice. And about Juiced Incorporated's vision; after talking with them I knew they are committed to this business and making top quality bat rolling machines. The others I talked to were flighty and when I asked about a guarantee and they were not equipped for that type of commitment.There are only 5 other bat rolling machine companies with a website (I say that because you can purchase a backyard roller from eBay made in Joe's garage) that sell bat rollers, out of those 5, only 2 sell a parallel rollers. With the new upgrades of new roller material, precision machined rollers, thrust bearings, and radial bearings these bat rolling machines will not be rivaled on the open market. And to add to that, as the patented goes through Juiced Inc. will be the only company on the web selling bat rolling machines.This was a no brainer as far as my deciding to go with Juiced Inc. bat rolling machines. Juiced Inc. has a superior constructed machine and a commitment towards the future of bat rolling as well as their company's longevity. The top 3 Bat Rolling companies use Juiced Inc. machines. There are 11 bat rolling companies on the Internet and 9 of those companies use Juiced Inc. bat rolling machines. EBay is no different with 15 of 20 rolling with Juiced Inc. bat rolling machines. With out a doubt, they have created the #1 Bat Rolling Machines on the market. Anyone who is telling you different is pushing propaganda and not selling the worlds finest bat rolling machines, you can quote me on that
